i don't remember the Biden thing clearly.........i think it was something like Hart's problem......media and GOP went digging to find 'character' flaws and they came up with I believe a speech or something he published that was largely plagiarized.
he also had a brain tumor that was successfully removed.
there are no people without 'character' flaws, it's part of being human. The media blows them out of proportion, groundswell starts, candidate removes himself, it's stupid. All that matters is whether the guy at this point in time is going to be a good president. I could give a shit if 25 years ago in college some candidate cheated on an exam or did coke or if he's a good husband and father. It would be nice if they were all superheros without any chinks on their records but that's not reality.
Reagan colored his hair orange, Hart was skewered for the same type of vanity i.e changing his name and signature. The sad thing is that both parties play to the dumbest common denominator. Once the media makes a big deal about something, regardless how innocuous it is, they beat it to death until the moronic public is brainwashed.
