Why Biden Lies
Joe Biden’s tale last week about being at Ground Zero the day after September 11 put an understandable focus on his endless false and exaggerated stories about himself.
First, as a technical matter, he’s not a liar so much as a bullshitter, at least in much of what he says about himself.
“It is impossible,” Frankfurt writes,
for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false.
Frankfurt continues:
For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: He is neither on the side of the truth nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and the liar are, except insofar as they may be pertinent to his interest in getting away with what he says.
He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly.
He just picks them out or makes them up, to suit his purpose.
He adds that the bullshitter “does not reject the authority of the truth, as the liar does, and oppose himself to it.
He pays no attention to it at all.
By virtue of this, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.”
So what is Biden’s purpose? Self-valorization, of course — literally from the moment of his birth.
For instance, Biden’s classic, falsehood-laden fusillade at a New Hampshire campaign event in 1987 about his brilliance and accomplishment as a student was disturbing, hilarious, and, at the end of the day, simply pathetic.
Now, his malarkey, to use his term from his vice-presidential debate with Paul Ryan, is even more obvious and discrediting than it was 40 years a function of a doddering and weak president most everyone thinks shouldn’t be running for a second term.
If Biden ever does retire, what’s certain is that the stories will be as insufferable as ever, and complete bullshit.
