Imagine the entire world invoking the Joe Biden, I-can’t-remember and I’m-an-old-man, defense whenever required. Imitation is, after all, the sincerest form of flattery.
Begin with Atlanta Fulton County DA and Trump persecutor Fani Willis, now being called to account for alleged improprieties in her public and private lives. She would have done well to plead dumb and ignorant.
Instead, Willis has been, in words of one observer, using the snarling badger defense, being combative and belligerent with accusers.
Willis also had played the race and gender cards previously, at a church no less, suggesting this all would not have happened had she not been a black woman.
If only Eve, a person the Bible definitely indicates was a woman (gender confused was not yet a thing) and now some sociologists suggest was black, would have thought to claim misogyny and racial bias when God cast her and Adam from the Garden of Eden.
Eve could have remained while Adam, a male and perhaps white, was forced from his domicile.
But God, in his infinite wisdom, had seen fit not yet to have created courts of the legal or public opinion sort, or social media, so Eve was left to deal with her lot — with Adam — beyond the bounds of Eden.
Back to the Biden defense, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce, AKA Mr. Taylor Swift, might have professed amazement when clips were shown of him screaming at his head coach Andy Reid and shoving the portly, elderly gentleman.
That Kelce did this on the sidelines of the most recent Super Bowl, only the most watched television program in history of the boob tube, would only heighten the validity of the defense.
Think of Biden in countless press conferences and other public appearances fluffing names, dates, shaking hands with imaginary people, tripping, falling, and needing to be led off stages by helpful stooges.
All these actually strengthen Biden’s defense, as in no rational individual would so consistently make a fool of himself if he was aware of what he was doing. Obviously, Kelce was distraught over being embarrassed in front of his gal pal by not having made a greater contribution to that point of the game, and even having been on the sideline during one crucial play.
Kelce could have the best of both sides, claiming temporary insanity/amnesia/mental imcompetence, but then having recovered sufficiently to serve as a cultural icon.
A surprising supporter of Biden has arisen in the form of much-hated Russian strong guy Vlad Putin. During a recent lengthy interview with Tucker Carlson, speaking on the subject of Biden mental shortcomings, Putin referred to a meeting with Biden in 2021 of which Putin recalled, “I did not see anything of this sort.”
Faced with this unexpected — perhaps damning — endorsement of his mental acuity, expect Biden soon to say that he doesn’t remember the meeting, or instead that he was speaking with Czar Nicholas II (who died in 1918).
The subject was a nuclear arms deal – or a job for Hunter.
