Joe Biden Accosts Reporter in 1988: ‘I Think I Probably Have a Much Higher IQ than You’

BIDEN: "I think I probably have a much higher IQ than you do, I suspect. I went to law school on the full academic scholarship, the only one in my class to have a full academic scholarship. The first year in law school I decided I didn't want to be in law school and ended up in bottom two-thirds in my class, and then decided I wanted to stay, went back to law, and in fact ended up in the top half of my class. I won the International Moot Court Competition, I was the outstanding student of the political science department at the end of my year. I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only needed 123 credits. And I'd be delighted to sit down and compare my IQ to yours, if you'd like, Frank."
