It was last October when the New York Times published a piece trying to paint President Joe Biden as a folksy "Storyteller in Chief." That was how the Times got around finally having to report on the lies that Biden was continually repeating, such as his son Beau dying in Iraq, getting arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela, and a house fire almost burning down the house will Dr. Jill Biden inside.
Biden is still telling stories. The Free Beacon has some incredible examples from the Robert Hur report of Biden going off-topic on tangents repeatedly. Biden even made car noises to simulate peeling out in his Corvette. Hur continually had to guide Biden back on topic, which is probably one of the reasons he thought a jury wouldn't convict him — his brain is mush.
No, no, no ... the frog king would prefer you say "like grits," don'tcha know!
The Free Beacon piece has a lot of anecdotes from our beloved storyteller, but this is one of the best:
Andy Grewal (@ProfGrewal) ~ “We had a really difficult professor," Biden recalled. "He called on me to discuss a case, you know, in your first torts class. And I had never read the case, and I stood up and I spoke for 10 minutes. The whole class stood up, started clapping."

What were they clapping?
The whole class literally stood up and clapped. Of course, Biden has claimed he graduated near the top of his class, though he was ranked 76th in a law school class of 85.
Dominicus Saxon (@DominicusSaxon) ~ I think I saw this same thing happen on an episode of The Paper Chase.
Riley (@pathforward327) ~ Yeah this never happened. But, he did get caught for plagiarizing in law school. And lying about his class rank (bottom) tanked his first presidential campaign decades ago.
TopSecretK9 (@TopIsMyNamek9) ~ Despite the ridiculousness of Biden inventing all these stories of always being a superhero, imagine the context of Hur trying to get substantive answers to his questions, only to endure hours of being regaled by this rambling nonsense? No wonder he concluded Biden is out of his head.
Fweedom (@Fweedom5) ~ President Walter Mitty strikes again.
elliot (@antipode_elliot) ~ "Afterwards, a student came up to me and said 'that was the most inspiring thing I ever heard, I'm going to model myself on you.' That student was Martin Luther King."
Reverend King does not appear to be amused ... just sayin'.
Chris Loders (@clock_picker) ~ I'll take "things that never happened" for $500, Alex.
Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath (@PininFor) ~ I was not there and I recall this clearly.
Jeremy E. Neuman (@JerOHMee) ~ I'm a lot younger than Biden, and didn't go to that school, but I remember vividly - it's seared into my brain - how, after all the clapping, they carried him out of the room on their shoulders.
Suburban Sheepdog (@RobertKuntz) ~ I teach at a law school. This did not happen.
Biden then detailed a bizarre episode during one of his first jobs out of law school involving a 23-year-old construction worker with a seared penis and a missing testicle, and how the case ultimately led him to enter politics.
Joe Biden went into politics because of a case involving a seared penis and a missing testicle, eh?
Hur was just there to ask about the classified documents, not to see pictures of Dr. Jill in a bikini. No wonder he thought Biden could never withstand cross-examination.
