Joe Biden Said That?

Phil Walter pointed me to this Bidenism from the campaign trail in August 2008. Biden was warming up a crowd in Scranton, Pennslyvania and had a few things to say about Senator Bob Casey. Here's the quote as deciphered by Ed Morrissey at Hot Air:

There was a guy named Bob Casey and there was Bobby Casey. Bob Casey was twelve years older than me, and Bobby Casey was twelve years younger than me. And I knew somebody famous was going to come out of Scranton, and I sure a’ hell knew it wadn’t gonna be me.

And here's the accompanying video:

The problem with this quote is, as Ed notes, that Biden left Scranton two years before Senator Casey was born. So he wasn't around to appreciate Senator Casey's potential for fame. Perhaps he saw into the future and skedaddled while he had a chance. Who knows? It's a Bidenism!
