Yesterday it was revealed that Hunter Biden, the embattled son of President Biden, will release a memoir in April called “Beautiful Things.†But New York Post columnist Kyle Smith got an exclusive first look, thanks to a draft he found on a laptop Computer abandoned in the Champagne room at Ba-Da-Bing’s on Route 1 outside Wilmington, Del. Here, he shares with us an exclusive excerpt from Chapter 1:
Some of you are wondering why I called this memoir “Beautiful Things†instead of, say, “Ukrainian Business for Dummies,†or “Not the Good Son — the Other One.†Some joker even told me I should have called it “Ten Easy Ways to Secure Your Laptop†(No. 1: don’t go on a binge and forget you left it in a repair shop for a year.)
Ha, ha! Inside joke. You probably don’t know what I’m talking about, because Dad’s media team is also known as “the media.†They fixed it so only one news organization in the country mentioned my laptop. Those jerks at The Post should have known you don’t mess with the B Team. I mean, Team B. I didn’t mean to suggest the Obamas were the A Team and that we’re this pathetic pile of janky political leftovers, like when you go in the carpet store and there’s this dusty corner marked “Remnants.†Sure, the last First Lady is super-glamorous and hangs out with Beyoncé and went to Harvard Law School and all that but — did you know my stepmom is a doctor? Not the kind you can get a Vicodin prescription from, unfortunately. (I asked.)
I’m calling this book “Beautiful Things†because I’ve wised up. I’m no longer a 30-year old scoundrel, coke fiend and influence peddler. Now that I’m a 51-year-old scoundrel and influence peddler, I’ve learned to appreciate some of the finer things. Yes, smoking crack and knocking up strippers have their place in my heart, but these days beauty is something that’s become more important. Have you ever seen a 2.8-carat diamond that’s worth $80,000? Really sparkly. It’s a Beautiful Thing.
