Biden plagiarized an article in college in 1965 and then was forgiven by the faculty.

Did you read that article, twba?

All it did was make me nostalgic for a government that actually answered questions and explained their actions.  Jesus, at least the man has the integrity to deal with this issue.

Here is a pop quiz on honesty. 

Which is worse:

A) a Senator plagiarized a paper 43 years ago when he was 21 year-old student.  He presents his defense which he put forth at the time, that he didn't properly understand sourcing, that the administration at Fordham accepted.   The Senator serves 30+ years as a pillar of integrity in the US Senate afterwards.  He never shies away from charges of his wrongdoing and answers all comers openly and directly.

B) a Senator begins lying about his POW experience.  The lies begin ten years ago when he decides he wants to be president.  The lie steals a story from a great Russian writer the Senator calls a personal hero.  The lie is clearly told to curry votes with religious zealots and illicit sympathy.  The Senator refuses to address the lying.  He insists that he is a man of such unquestionable integrity he is above reproach.  He continues to campaign on the lie.

C) the governor of a small state gives a forty minute speech which introduces her to the country.  The speech is almost a non-stop parade of lies.  She is asking to be a hearbeat away from the presidency.  She refuses every interview and will take no questions except for one highly controlled appearance.  Her and her campaign insist on ignoring all the lies even though they are clearly proven.  The campaign manager declares she will only speak to reporters who are "deferential" to her.

D) A young senator runs for president.   Despite being opposed by the slimiest and most dishonest group of people ever assembled, no one can even find a lie to accuse him of.

Rank these four candidates in order of honesty and integrity.
