Joe Biden’s New Podcast Is So Bad

Here’s the Deal similarly falls short of its other goal of humanizing Biden. Its most mocked moment involves Biden discussing his love of Fig Newtons, which he likes because he can “sneak” them without aides or family members chastising him. The story only makes him sound roughly 900 years old. It does, I suppose, get points for authenticity, the antithesis of Hillary Clinton’s “I keep hot sauce in my bag” shtick. But that’s the problem: The authentic Biden, a 78-year-old who loves Fig Newtons and Congress, seems increasingly divorced from life in America, and even more so in post-coronavirus America.

Other anecdotes were genuinely alarming, including Biden admitting that he “tries to get out of bed by 8 o’clock every morning,” as if he deserves a medal.

I remember the old joke that sprang up when then-VP Joe was bragging at a town hall that the military man, off stage, had a brief case with the nuclear launch codes, in the even that Obama met an untimely end.

What Joe didn't realize was that upon learning of Obama's demise, the young military man would open the brief case and find a .45 inside...

...screaming at everyone to do something...

Including (or perhaps especially) Bill...

And just think, this is the *winner* of the Dem primary.

It's so bad that Alec Baldwin's attempt to conduct left-wing talk radio was a major hit in comparison...

Once upon a time, in the dark time of 2006, WPHT was throwing around ideas wanting to see what would stick. In a very questionable decision, actor and SNL Trump portrayer Alec Baldwin was given a shot at a show, appearing on a Sunday night. Baldwin called for callers that weren’t there throughout the entire show, resorting to punishment for the non-callers when listeners still wouldn’t call. At one point during the show, Baldwin started reading the Scientology Manual and a take-out menu because he had nothing else to talk about. Turns out Alec will have another crack at a talk show as ABC will premiere their new project, The Alec Baldwin Show, this coming Sunday.
