So, he's not lying, he's just "embellishing"?

David Brooks's credibility is already, as they say, lower than a whale turd on the bottom of the ocean. But with his latest excuses for Joe Biden's "mistakes", I'd say that turd just slipped over the edge of the Mariana Trench.

“Biden may be aging, and maybe that’s an issue. I think it’s a legitimate issue for voters to think about. But he’s not mendacious. He’s not irresponsible. He may embellish a story to improve its dramatic effect. And he may be forgetting things. Our memories are just much more fallible than we think. Every memory expert will tell you that. And when you’re on the campaign trail doing thousands of events, traveling everywhere, things get jostled in your mind. So, it could be just the normal jostling of [the] campaign.”

So, he may just be a few months away from spooning mashed potatoes down his pants and hiding from the boogie man in his clothes hamper. Comforting, Dave, very comforting.
