(At Always On Watch 2, in the wake of Mr. AOW's brain hemorrhage on September 1, 2009, and my consequent crash course in neurology followed by up-close and personal encounters with the rather peculiar phenomenon of confabulation, I posted a few times about Joe Biden's brain. This post is an update to those previous posts and is a post irrespective of Joe Biden's political views; in fact, I feel compassion for what I believe to be the man's neurological issues)
Joe Biden is known for making gaffes. In fact, a Google search of "Joe Biden gaffes" yields lists of Bidenisms. One example of a Bidenism, an example which reads much like spinning tales around a campfire:
Just last week, there was this: Biden Tells ‘The View’ Obama’s Presidency Had No ‘Whisper of Scandal’.
Funny? Sure. But is something else going on?
Check out the following information about confabulation:
From Wiki:
I know a bit about confabulation because Mr. AOW's stroke on the right side of the brain produces confabulation to a certain extent — even years after his stroke of September 15, 2009. The right side of the brain produces confabulations under certain conditions and can even produce over-optimism and euphoria, despite real threats to one's well being.
Returning now to Joe Biden, there is also the matter of seven women's accounts of uncomfortable physical encounters. Such inappropriate touching could well stem from Biden's brain injuries. I have seen for myself in stroke wards that those who have suffered brain injuries often have an unusual need: to touch and cuddle with something soft.
In my view, Americans should hesitate giving Joe Biden control of the nuclear football.

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." –Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time, interview with Katie Couric, Sept.22, 2008Read the entire list HERE.

From Wiki:
In psychology, Confabulation is the spontaneous narrative report of events that never happened. It consists usually of the creation of false memories, perceptions, or beliefs about the self or the environment as a result of neurological or psychological dysfunction. When it is a matter of memory, confabulation is the confusion of imagination with memory, or the confused application of true memories. Confabulations are difficult to differentiate from delusions and from lying.Biden has undergone two surgeries for brain aneurysms.

Patients who have suffered brain damage or lesions, especially to the prefrontal cortical regions, may have confabulation of memories as a symptom.
