It seems to me that the bumbling administration of Clueless Joe Biden and his Democratic cohorts would fit well in a Wizard of Oz remake.
In our revisiting of the classic tale, the role of Dorothy, who eventually awakens to the reality that it’s all been just a strange dream, will be played by departed White House PR flack DisinJENuous Psaki.
The Wicked Witch of the West is an easy selection, with that role going to stock market trading genius and part-time Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Pelosi’s family gets to double dip in Oz II. Judy Garland, who played Dorothy in the original movie, once in an interview characterized the little people who played Munchkins as “drunks” in real life. Considering the DUI arrest credentials of Pelosi’s husband, cut a foot out of each of his legs and we have our lead Munchkin for the remake.
The Good Witch of the North is House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is willing to say what is on her mind no matter the blowback from social media typewriter jockeys.
Clueless Joe Biden will be the Scarecrow in a tour de force of typecasting. “If I only had a brain.”
There are lots of candidates for the Cowardly Lion, but give the nod to U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, who manages to screw up courage only when he’s part of a mockery masquerading as a Congressional committee.
Our Tin Man in search of a heart will be Senate bloviator Chuck Schumer.
Professor Marvel, the sketchy fortuneteller from the movie, can be Fed chair Jerome Powell, who famously insisted that inflation was “transitory” and now finds himself having to jerk up interest rates and kill the economy and investment markets in an attempt to rein in that inflation that was supposed to be short-lived.
The Yellow Brick Road is any path, literal or figurative, that Hunter Biden travels to take advantage of his dad’s political influence.
The Emerald City is of course Washington, D.C., where green in the form of money is handed out quite cynically to buy votes and fund fringe causes that can’t exist on their own merits.
The winged monkeys conjured up the Wicked Witch of the West to harass Dorothy and her companions are any of the propagandists masquerading as journalists who do their best to prop up Democrats and pillory Republicans.
In the original film, the Wizard of Oz was a pathetically small man behind the curtain who pulled levers and used a sound system to come off as larger than life. In our remake, that character will be the man or woman who operates Biden’s teleprompter, without which — or even with which — Biden can’t make a coherent speech.
Roll film!
