Why does Joe Biden lie about a 'drunk driver' killing his 1st wife?
American Thinker ^ | 9/19/2008 | T. Lifson

Since his vice presidential nomination, Joe Biden's 2007 statement that a "guy who allegedly ... drank his lunch" and drove the truck that struck and killed his first wife and daughter has gained national media traction. The senator's statements don't jibe with news and law enforcement reports from the time, which cleared driver Curtis C. Dunn, who died in 1999, of wrongdoing. "To see it coming from [Biden's] mouth, I just burst into tears," Dunn's daughter, Glasgow resident Pamela Hamill, 44, said Wednesday. "My dad was always there for us. Now we feel like we should be there for him because he's not here to defend himself."

Funny, I was looking at this again and was just going to write another note to you about it. You are absolutely right, and I’m sorry for the error. I’ll restore your post.

All that I can say is that the story Biden tells is the one that was circulated among their friends at the time. I seem to remember some anger toward the fact that the truck driver was getting off without any punishment. No one blamed Neilia (I think that they called her, Neily) It could be exactly as is reported in this article, though. I just find it difficult to criticize Biden for repeating the story that was commonly circulated by their friends.
