The craziest and most entertaining thing about Joe Biden is that he thinks acting insane will quiet the rumors about his declining mental sharpness. After some of his fellow democrats have questioned his fitness to be president, Crazy Joe tried to prove them all wrong by challenging a reporter to a wrestling match. This is kind of like trying to prove you’re not on meth by lighting your head on fire while screaming that extraterrestrials are trying to steal your flip-flops.
Biden took some questions from reporters on Friday, mostly related to his health and competency.
“Is it fair for your rivals to play the age card?” asked one reporter.
“Sure it is. I mean look, there di, there di,” answered Biden with a chuckle.
That was his exact answer, which prompted Huffington Post reporter Igor Bobic to ask:
“Will you be releasing your medical records to address concerns?” Bobic asked.
“I no have, what the hell concerns? You wanna wrestle?” Biden replied.
Great answer, Joe. Reporters are asking if Biden is physically and mentally fit enough to be President of the United States and his reply is: “There’s nothing wrong with me. Now let’s oil up and grapple, sonny.”
This is on par with that gag from the film Airplane! where the creepy pilot asks a little kid if he likes movies about gladiators. And really, this Biden answer has a double meaning because in addition to being insane he’s also kind of a perv.
Unfortunately the HuffPo reporter didn’t take Joe up on his wrestling challenge because that would have been the greatest moment in American political history. It’s also disappointing that the reporter didn’t answer Biden’s question about what health concerns there are about him.
What the hell concerns? How about that time last week when his eye filled with blood during the CNN global warming town hall? Or last night when his teeth almost fell out during the democratic debate? Or all those times he can’t remember things like Barack Obama’s name? Or all those times he makes stuff up? Clearly there is something wrong with Biden and everyone but him can see it.
Biden went on to say that he will release his medical records the next time he gets a physical, which he promised would be sometime before the Iowa caucuses. In Biden-land however that could mean something completely different like he plans on stealing the Leprechaun’s Lucky Charms.
Biden appears to be stuck in some kind of fantasy world in which feats of strength prove his physical and mental sharpness. Isn’t that one of the rituals for Festivus? Not long ago, Biden challenged President Trump to a push-up contest in order to demonstrate his mental fitness.
If Joe really wanted to prove to voters he isn’t crazy the easiest way would be to stop saying crazy things. Unfortunately Biden is a democrat and they hate practical low-cost effective solutions to anything.
Pool reporters must love covering Biden. At least once a day they’re bound to get something crazy like this. Imagine having to follow Amy Klobuchar around for months on end. It would be like watching paint dry if paint was an insufferable bitch.
