Biden and the Elusive Truth

I learned very early in life that lying and boastful exaggerating was an embarrassing and costly enterprise. I learned that if you stuck to the truth, you didn't have to remember who you told what to.

Vice President Joe Biden is evidently a slow learner.

"It didn't happen," Rove, a FOX News contributor and former Bush adviser, told Megyn Kelly in an interview taped for "On The Record."

Rove's skepticism was echoed by a variety of other Bush aides, including former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, chief of staff Andy Card and legislative liaison Candida Wolff.

Rove continued, "If you notice, all of these incidents have the same structure: Joe Biden courageously raises the impudent question; the president befuddles the answer; and Joe Biden drives home the dramatic response."
