Certainly, they didn’t seem so to the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman who presided over the Bork hearings while an avalanche of plagiarism, lies, and videotape buried his White House bid. BIDEN IGNORES PRIMARY RIVALS' ATTACKS, KEEPS FOCUS ON TRUMPIn a 37-minute press conference on September 17, 1987 — the third day of the Bork hearings —Biden only copped to an unintentional footnoting gaffe. I honestly thought the paragraph was a piece of brilliant work by my staff.”Biden’s bottom line — I’m not dishonest, I’m stupid:“I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again. I've done some dumb things as senator, and I've done some dumb things as a lawyer,” he confessed. He also explained to The New York Times, “I exaggerate when I’m angry.”The next day — with the nation still riveted by the Bork hearings — Biden ended his presidential run.
