Biden’s good news and bad news
By Stu Tarlowe
I consider myself a “joke wrangler.” I collect jokes, and I wrangle and “tweak” them into shape, and I like to think that I have a joke for every topic. I can often reconstruct a joke from just the set-up or just the punchline. I once participated in a radio show in which a group of us in the studio invited callers to complete a joke before we could “step on” the punchline; very often, the caller didn’t even get past the first sentence or so of the premise or “set up.”
Folks like me who are joke collectors know that there are some classic jokes that exist in different variations that purport to be different jokes but are essentially the same joke with a few “wrinkles” rearranged. I thought of this when I heard of Joe Biden’s remarks in his appearance Wednesday at a Santa Monica fire station with California governor Gabby Nuisance to brief reporters on the raging, massively-destructive and deadly fires in that state.
It was also a clear case of life imitating art.
As is so predictably characteristic of Joe Biden, he made it about himself and his family. It also echoed his remarks to first responders and survivors of the fires in Maui a year ago, when he used the occasion to go into detail about a fire in his home that almost cost him his precious Corvette.
