I need a little help here.
I don't speak "Biden-eze." Perhaps you do. If so, I'd like some help translating his comments from the Sunday, April 6th ABC "This Week" talking head program with a fellow named George Stephanopolous.
You remember Snuffleopolous, don't you? He was Billy Jeff "Blue Dress" Clinton's roommate in college. And then he became his Chief of Staff. And then somehow he became a "journalist" once Clinton left office. Proves, I guess, that you don't need a journalism degree to be a journalist. And even those with such degrees often don't act like it. You can witness that every afternoon during the White House press briefings. But anyway, just be a friend of a President and you'll wind up with a $20 million a year salary as ABC's News Director. Nice little deal there...
Anyway, each channel has a political talk show on Sunday mornings, and ABC's offering featured presumptive Democrat POTUS candidate Joseph P. Biden. You remember him, don't you? He held President Obama's coat for 8 years. And now he's looking for somebody to hold his coat. But before he gets that opportunity, or the coat, he must make some appearances on TV from his basement of his palatial shoreline Maryland mansion and answer some questions from those who are absolutely guaranteed to vote for him. Otherwise he wouldn't appear on their programs, would he? And one of the answers he gave on this particular program left me confused. Let's see if you can help translate it, okay. Here goes:
"We cannot let this, we've never allowed any crisis from the Civil War straight through to the pandemic of '17, all the way around, '16, we have never, never left our democracy "sakes" second fiddle, way they, we can both have a democracy and...correct public health."
Now, I'm sure some folks somewhere knew what he meant. Like maybe his wife. And I'm sure Snuffleopolus didn't care what he meant. And likely his ardent followers kind of guessed what he meant, but didn't much care either. But I have no idea what he meant.
Do you?
But then Biden appeared on "The View" just recently, and gave us another, ummm, somewhat confusing answer to a question asked by Co-Host Sara Haines. She asked, "Are you at all concerned, as President Trump said, we cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself?" He answered...
"We have to take care of the cure that will make the problem worse, no matter what."
Well then, since you put it THAT way...
Something tells me we'll have many other instances of "Biden-eze-zzs" between now and November. Let's all work together to try and decipher what they actually mean...
