First, he fell off his bike, which was a national embarrassment. Then it got worse.
That’s what Joe Biden’s three-day weekend vacation back home in Delaware amounted to, proving that it doesn’t quite matter where he is — he’s capable of damaging his office and the country it presides over from anywhere in the world.
You know about the bike pratfall. You might not know about the mind-flaying impromptu press conference he held on the beach Monday.
It was nine minutes of abjectly absent leadership. Here — see for yourself…
There is so much awfulness here it’s hard to know where to start. We could pick anything. But we’ll just go through it sequentially.
There’s that old-man-with-poopy-Depends walk that he puts on display everywhere he goes. It’s the worst presidential body language in the television age, and yet his handlers insist on putting him in front of the camera to show it off. Two words come to mind: elder abuse.
You’d feel sorry for him, but then you hear him talk and attempt to discern some sense of reality or cognition from the words which emanate from his mouth, and then sympathy becomes difficult.
