Who is Good Ol' Joe Biden, Really? Let's See...

Everyone's by now seen the incredible vid of those University of Wisconsin-Madison students complaining that Obama should have been allowed to use a teleprompter in his debate--proof positive, as if we needed any after the #OWS fiasco, that the concept of "higher education" has been utterly drained of meaning. Still, I never give up on any hungry young mind, so in the interest of remedial education, here is a brief history lesson to fill in the gaps that so many voters have about our plucky, gaffe-prone vice-prez, Joltin' Joe Biden:

Who is Joe Biden? Well, first off, he's apparently Neil Kinnock:

...And he's ALSO an accomplished plagiarist, and a liar. But don't take my word for it, just listen to these Democrats, and NBC News:

And a resume' fraudster who jumps to lie about his school record:

Keep this bone-deep fraudster's record in mind as you watch him spew the BS this coming thursday night.

ROMNEY PERFECTLY POSITIONED TO MOUSETRAP OBAMA, JUST LIKE REAGAN DID TO CARTER HERE:

President Jimmy Carter, to Democrats in Chicago, Oct. 6, 1980:
“You’ll have to determine whether or not America will be unified or if I lose the election—whether America will be separated, black from white, Jew from Christian North from South, or rural from urban .”

Gov. Ronald Reagan, responding in TV interview in Philadelphia, Oct. 7, 1980:
“I can’t be angry. I’m saddened. I’m not asking an apology from him, but I think he ought to apologize to the country. I think he’s a badly misinformed and prejudiced man. He’s reaching a point of hysteria that’s hard to understand.”

KABOOM.

Thus ended the Carter presidency, good riddance.

Now Mitt Romney has a great opportunity to drop the same bomb on the now desperate ("aggressive," haahaaa) Obama. Just wait for Obama to go awaaaayyy out on the limb. Which you know he'll do.

Steady, Mitt, steady. Ready...Aim...

The Odyssey by Homer, Chapter 21:

For long Odysseus stood with the bow in his hands, handling it as a minstrel handles a lyre when he stretches a cord or tightens a peg. Then he bent the great bow; he bent it without an effort, and at his touch the bow-string made a sound that was like the cry of a swallow. The wooers seeing him bend that mighty bow felt, every man of them, a sharp pain at the heart. They saw Odysseus take up an arrow and fit it to the string. He held the notch, and he drew the string, and he shot the bronze-weighted arrow straight through the holes in the back of the axe-heads. Then as Eumæus took up the axes, and brought them outside, he said, ‘Thou seest, lord Telemachus, that thy guest does not shame thee through foolish boasting. I have bent the bow of Odysseus, and I have shot the arrow aright. But now it is time to provide the feast for the lords who woo thy lady mother. While it is yet light, the feast must be served to them, and with the feast they must have music and the dance.’ Saying this he nodded to Telemachus, bending his terrible brows. Telemachus instantly girt his sword upon him and took his spear in his hand. Outside was heard the thunder of Zeus. And now Odysseus had stripped his rags from him and was standing upright, looking a master of men. The mighty bow was in his hands, and at his feet were scattered many bronze-weighted arrows.
