What the crap is he talking about?


Taking it one step further, Biden spokesman David Wade later added, "He's going in here to debate a leviathan of forensics, who has debated five times, and she's undefeated."

Here's the literal meaning:






The word "œforensic"� comes from the Latin adjective "œforensis"� meaning of or before the forum. During the time of the Romans, a criminal charge meant presenting the case before a group of public individuals in the forum. Both the person accused of the crime and the accuser would give speeches based on their side of the story. The individual with the best argument and delivery would determine the outcome of the case. Basically, the person with the sharpest forensic skills would win. This origin is the source of the two modern usages of the word "forensic" - as a form of legal evidence and as a category of public presentation.[/align][/align]Leviathan (Hebrew: לִוְיָתָן, StandardLivyatan TiberianLiwyÄ�ṯÄ�n; "Twisted; coiled") is a Biblical sea monster referred to in the Old Testament (Psalm 74:13-14; Job 41; Isaiah 27:1). The word leviathan has become synonymous with any large sea monster or creature. In the novel Moby-Dick it refers to great whales, and in Modern Hebrew, it means simply "whale".[/align][/align]In other words, "that gal is a whale of a debater!"[/align]
