Beau Biden: ‘My Mom Could Take’ Paul Ryan in a Marathon



Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, bashed Paul Ryan Wednesday for shaving more than an hour off his marathon time and even turned his attack into a family matter, saying “my mom could take him.”

“The Romney-Ryan budget means what it says. I believe his math as it relates to his budget. I’m not sure if I believe his math as it relates to his marathon times,” Beau Biden told the Veterans and Military Families Council Meeting in Charlotte, N.C. “You know those runners out here, Army personnel, Navy guys and women, Marines, airmen, Coast Guard. You know your times, right? You know what your PT score is right? That’s not something you forget.

“I guess he’s revised it and now it’s up to around 4 hours,” Biden added. “He said it was under three, which would make him kind of be able to qualify for the Olympics. It’s now up to around four. It’s close, getting near where my mom, who ran a marathon in about four and a half hours, so I guess he can compete with my mom. Maybe not. I think my mom could take him.”

The crowd applauded as Biden’s mother, Dr. Jill Biden, sat to his left.
