This exchange should really be familiar to anyone who remembers the infamous Joe Biden IQ rant back when he was still bald.
Biden responded, “I think I have a much higher I.Q. than you do I suspect. I went to law school on a full academic scholarship – the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship.” Biden went on to claim that he graduated in the top half of his law school." Problem is, none of that is true.
Well of course it's not. But don't ask Biden anything that makes him feel insecure.
HARWOOD: So George H.W. Bush was weak, Dan Quayle was dumb, Al Gore was wooden, Dick Cheney was Darth Vader. Do you feel sympathy for those guys, having done this for seven years? And are you comfortable with Goofy Uncle Joe?
BIDEN: No, I'm not comfortable with Goofy Uncle Joe. But one of the things that's important to know — and one of the reasons why, when I first got asked about this job I said no — is there is no inherent power in being vice president.
And so when the president asked me to consider this again — and I said yes — he said, "What do you want?" I said, "I want to be the last guy in the room." Every assignment he's given me, I've not had to check back. I ran the Recovery Act — beginning, middle and end. I did the Iraq thing."
And a heckuva job you did too. Between Iraq and the economy, I'm not sure what's worse.
But Biden's ego is so out of control that he claims to have run policy, without checking with Obama, on major issues that turned out disastrously.
This is an example of a man who thinks he's so smart that he has no idea how stupid he is.
And by the way, the so-called Goofy Uncle Joe — if you notice, I beat every Republican in every poll when they thought I was running. You notice that my favorability was higher than anybody that's running for office in either party.
And yet dithered for so long that it was too late for him to run for office. But Biden does beat them in all the imaginary races.
