HOW DO YOU BREAK YOUR FOOT PLAYING WITH A DOG? THE AUTHORIZED VERSION While Joe Biden hobbled in the basement this week, I wondered how you break your foot playing with a dog. Now I’m wondering if it’s better not to know (or “know”). Naked after a shower, Biden chased after one of his dogs and tripped on a rug while pulling on the dog’s tail. That’s the story reported by the New York Post’s Steven Nelson. Well, picture that, or don’t, preferably the latter. Once pictured, some things can’t be unseen. read more DECEMBER 4, 2020 BY SCOTT JOHNSON POWERLINE
BIDEN’S BREZHNEV VIBES Born in the Soviet Union, Katya Sedgwick now lives in the United States. She brings a valuable cross cultural-perspective to our perception of Joe Biden’s age-related mental impairment in the Spectator USA column “Biden’s Brezhnev vibes.” She discusses Brezhnev’s impaired physical condition and relates: |
[W]atching news segments on TV, it was hard to avoid conclusion that the general secretary was unfit to rule. His speech was slurred, and his movements unsteady. His mispronunciations were notorious:
‘socialist countries’ came out his mouth as ‘sh-ty sausages’, and ‘systematically’ — as ‘booby boobs’. Towards the end of his life he required the help of an apparatchik to lift his arm to salute the troops at a parade.
Because the official Soviet sources released no medical information, rumors about Brezhnev’s health abounded. So did the jokes. For instance:
‘Brezhnev’s voice on the radio: “Comrades! Imperialist enemies are spreading false rumors that my speeches are played on a record…a record…a record…”’
Or:
‘Brezhnev asked his speech writer to write a 15-minute address to the Party Congress. The writer gave him the address, and Brezhnev went up on a podium to present it. It’s taking him 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 40, 45. When he’s finally done, he asked the writer “What did you do? I asked for a 15-minute speech!” The writer says: “I wrote you a 15 minute speech, and I gave you three copies of it.”’
This one can be easily retold about Biden who once read a chyron on live television.
Sedgwick continues: “That there is something wrong with Biden is dangerously close to becoming a subject of open discussion. A topic rarely brought up outside conservative media after the Democratic primary was touched upon by satirical site the Onion when it ran a piece titled: ‘Doctors Concerned As Hairline Fracture In Biden’s Foot Spreads Through Entire Skeleton.'”
We’ve been talking about it for a while. I contributed the motto I’ve got half a mind to be president during the campaign.
Our friends at the Spectator have kindly made Sedgwick’s column accessible for the time being at our request. Please check out the whole thing here now while you still can. read more
