Why Joe Biden will never, ever be President

While I was looking up some info on Biden and his bout of plagiarism, I noticed something: Joe Biden’s middle name is “Robinette.”

Let me repeat that: “Robinette.”

Anyway, here’s the lowdown from Wikipedia:

Controversy broke Biden's candidacy for the U.S. presidency in the 1988 Presidential campaign. He was found to have plagiarized a speech from British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. The plagiarism was considered all the more serious, because it included details of Kinnock's life which were not true in Biden's case. After Biden withdrew from the race, it was learned that he had correctly credited Kinnock on other occasions but failed to do so in an Iowa speech that was recorded and distributed to reporters by aides to Michael Dukakis, the eventual nominee. Dukakis fired the senior aide responsible, but the damage had already been done to Biden.
Yeah, whatever. “Robinette” – oh my stars.
