    Johnny Carson's Biden and Reagan Clips Resurface, Prove Modern Late Night Hosts Have

    An old joke from TV legend Johnny Carson at the expense of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is circulating online, and it will surely make you long for the good old days of late night television.


    In a 1987 opening monologue, according to Fox News, Carson poked fun at one of Biden’s plagiarism scandals during the then-Delaware senator’s first run for his party’s presidential nomination.


    Carson told his “Tonight Show” audience: “On the political scene, one of the Democratic candidates is Sen. Joseph Biden.


    “Have you seen the problem he’s been having?”


    Carson continued: “He went around and made a speech and apparently he quoted a — I think it was a British politician — took his speech and kind of paraphrased it as his own.


    “And then the press got on him,” he added. “And then he was charged also with taking part of Bobby Kennedy’s speeches.”


    Then came the punchline.


    “And Biden says, ‘Not to worry.’ He reassured his staff, he said, ‘We have nothing to fear but fear itself,’” Carson quipped.

    Good stuff.

    Too bad the media doesn't cover this guy fairly. there is an old saying "Never pick a fight with a guy who buys his ink by the barrel".

    Trump did that (I don't blame him someone had to eventually) and he has to live with and deal their greater lies than normal.
    I am tired of everyone fighting with each other. This is all by design.
