Joe Biden's incurable plagiarism

I feel sorry for Joe Biden. really. He soooo wants to have a really cool, blue collar hero background. Like , how is having a dad who sold Chevy's in Wilmington, Delaware at all cool, especially when your opponent shoots moose for sport.  And practicing law and being a Senator for life. Not at all moose hunting cool.

Well, once again, the "reality based" Biden creates an alternative universe where he got his hands real dirty. Of course he tried that in 1988 , stealing the biography of British Labor party leader Neil Kinnock, (who had real blue collar roots) thus imploding his campaign, but, hey,  maybe folks forgot.

"Hope you won’t hold it against me, but I am a hard coal miner -- anthracite coal. Scranton, Pennsylvania, that’s where I was born and raised.”
 
Joe Biden 1988
 
Unlike Kinnock, Biden wasn't the first person in his family history to attend college, as he asserted; nor were his ancestors coal miners, as he claimed when he used Kinnock's words. Once exposed, Biden's campaign team managed to come up with a great-grandfather who had been a mining engineer, but he hardly fit the candidate's description of one who "would come up [from the mines] after 12 hours and play football." At any rate, Biden had delivered his offending remarks with an introduction that clearly implied he had come up with them himself and that they pertained to his own life.
