Joe Biden's Potemkin White House starts getting literal
By Monica Showalter

In 1787, an imperial Russian governor named Grigory Potemkin constructed a pretty village facade, a theatre set, actually, that's since become known as a Potemkin Village. His aim was to fool the passing empress, Catherine the Great, into thinking all was well on her journey through war-ravaged Crimea, when in fact it was not.

It now looks like the White House has viewed that story as a how-to guide -- this time, to fool the passing voters.

According to Ed Morrissey at Hot Air:

Today's deep question: Why does Biden use a stage set instead of the White House?

The “fake set” question first came up a week ago, when a few critics speculated that Joe Biden’s booster shot was as staged as the environs. There’s not a shred of evidence that Biden didn’t get his third dose, and no good reason why he wouldn’t have either. But what is undeniably odd is the White House’s continued use of the set, rather than … y’know … the White House.

Here's what it looked like:



Which is bizarre indeed, given that Biden has full access to the actual White House. Why the replica, when you have the real thing right there?

I'm reminded of an episode of Mary Tyler Moore.  In it, she hired some kid studying art to be a cameraman.  His big break came when they sent a filming team to a burning building.  As they were watching it play out in the studio, Lou Grant was stunned to see a video of a brick with ants crawling all over it.

Later, when the kid was back in the studio, Lou asks him, Why did you do that?

Kid replies, I wanted to show what it's like to see all those firefighters from a few feet away.

Exasperated Lou replies, Did you happen to notice you were a few feet away from an actual flaming building with firefighters crawling all over it???
