PPS: Dear Gen Everybody. Get. A. Clue.
My, what a shocker. Not.
PPPS: And in my continuing pretense at being a political journalist, who knew Biden had it in him?
“This is the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of America,” the 46th president of the United States of America was saying about the 47th.
There’s more:
It was Friday night in Sioux Falls, and Joseph R. Biden Jr. had turned up here, of all places, to speak at a dinner put on by the South Dakota Democratic Party in the banquet hall of a Best Western hotel. Hundreds of Democrats applauded as he delivered what amounted to the most political speech of his post-presidency yet.
At times
just managing to cough outhalting and hard to understand, at other times yelling clearly at the top of his voice, he torethat guy a new assh-into the current occupant of the Oval Office and his “appalling vanity projects.”“My god,” Mr. Biden scoffed, “tearing down the East Room of the White House to make room for a ballroom more fitting of Versailles?”
The crowd booed
and clapped politely.“Or writing his name on the Kennedy Center,” Mr. Biden said, and they booed some more.
Like maybe thirty seconds more?Hewas killing ‘em at that pointseemed to be enjoying himself now. “Or building an arch that would dwarf the Lincoln Memorial,” he continued, “or turning the Reflecting Pool into something you might see in a theme park!”The 83-year-old man
who spoke with an actual command of the English languagein Sioux Falls would be approaching the halfway mark of his second term in office had things turned out the way he wanted. His speech Friday capped off a week that saw Mr. Biden, his wife and his son all start to return with a vengeanceand their secret pal, Arnold,to the public stage, very much against the wishes of many Democrats, including some former Biden staff members.
Yes, it’s been a while since that freezing cold day, when Joe and Jill Biden had to say bye-bye to the White House and the World’s Biggest Idiot some moron other guy and his wife took their place. And they’ve kept things on the downlow quiet since then.
However …
The publication of Jill Biden’s book this week and her subsequent publicity tour reopened deep wounds in the party as she presented her Rashomon version of how her husband’s presidency came to its painful end. The discourse turned messy as former Biden staff members contradicted her online and in media reports and she hit back.
Ooh! Messy. I can understand that.
And in other news, I had the peculiar experience of watching THX 1138, followed by The Life of Chuck.
If this happens to you, do not attend a funeral the next day.
Here's where I was on Saturday.
BTW, points for the Roshomon reference.
