That's the Joe Biden that kicked that freaking idiot Paul Ryan's ass in the VP debate. And what is funny about watching that is that you see that Biden was intelligent, engaging, witty and charming. It is no wonder he got into politics. Those are his positive attributes which suit politics well. However, when we see how he lied & plagarized in law school and early campaigns, we see that clearly his character flaws are impatience, greed and hubris. When you consider his positive & negative attributes in this way, it is easy to see how he got so far in politics yet became so corrupt. There are a LOT of people like him in politics and I'd be willing to bet they are all lawyers like him.
