THAT’S ‘PRESIDENT MAGOO’ TO YOU, BUSTER!
Powerline ^ | 13 Feb 2024 | Steven Hayward

News out today that Joe Biden will not take a cognitive test at his upcoming annual physical exam. That will surely reassure everyone.

A number of observers suggested last week that Biden’s petulant declaration that “My memory is fine” appears set to take its place beside “I am not a crook,” “There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe,” and “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” in the annals of regrettable and possibly fatal presidential statements. But there’s one other Watergate parallel that has been less remarked: the non-denial denial.

...

Matt Margolis notes over at PL Media that no one is denying Hur’s claim that Biden couldn’t recall the date of his son Beau’s death (we already knew Biden can’t remember what country Beau died in) because they likely know Hur has a tape or transcript that would prove the claim, and likely the other specific claims Hur’s report, such as the date window of Biden’s vice presidency.

...

If Ronald Reagan were still with us, I’m sure he’d replace his old saying “The nine most frightening words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help” with “The eight most frightening words in the English language are ‘Kamala Harris Says She Is Ready to Serve.'”

(And no, Willie Brown jokes are not allowed; this is too serious.)

P.S. Margolis’s article linked above notes one other amazing small detail: a fundraising letter from Jill Biden that says “I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack—not just as Joe’s wife, but as Beau’s mother.” (Emphasis added.)

DOCTOR Jill Biden is not Beau’s mother. Beau’s mother was Joe’s first wife. Yet this claim went out over Jill’s signature. Truly we do live in a post-truth era...

Beau was a cat. He died 9 times on different days.

He won’t even release his medical records or his medication list.

The difference is that Mr. Magoo does everything wrong, butg it all comes out right in the end.

He is also generally good natured, at least in the later cartoons.

Many ofthe cartoons are hard to find because of his CHinese sidekick Cholly who called him Mister Magloo.

No need. We already know what the result would be.

Kind of hard to test something that doesn’t exist - and they can’t hide/coverup all the other evidences of his mental infirmities...their drugs are gonna kill him like doctor-administered drugs did to Elvis and Michel Jackson....apologies for mentioning both in same sentence...

He was also great in “Mister Magoo’s Christmas Carol from 1962. He played Ebenezer Scrooge. By the way, as far as truly, totally irrelevant information, I grew up in Cincinnati right off Ebenezer Road. Sorry about that.
