CINCINNATI, OH—As part of a campaign to raise awareness and improve public knowledge on treatment options, CNN aired an hour-long public service announcement on the warning signs of dementia Wednesday night.
The PSA, which ran over an hour, showed tragic footage of an old man ranting and making nonsensical, confusing statements.
CNN says they hope the footage will encourage family members of the elderly to get them tested for the early warning signs of dementia. The cable news channel displayed a phone number for a hotline people can call if they believe someone they know might be suffering from symptoms of the condition.
"If you or a loved one act like this man," said Don Lemon, "please, we beg you, get help. Slurred speech, inaccurate statements, an inability to remember where you are—these are all signs that your loved one might be suffering from dementia, whether he's retired or the president of the United States."
"... and we'd take the rhubarb and we'd put it in the pie, right in the ol' pie," the old man said suddenly, in a rare moment of lucidity. "It was incredible. You wouldn't think rhubarb would taste good, but it's the sweetness. The strawberries. The strawberries. The strawberries. That's what makes it work! Airplanes! Airplanes are neat, you know, but they're a myth. How do they get them up there? They don't—d-d-don't even have feathers."
Many of the attendees were touched by both the PSA and the old man.
OUCH!
President CNN Dementia PSA: 1/20/2021 - 5/1/2023. You heard it here first!
DANG!
Dang - got me again with that BB.
One of these days the curtains will open up and Biden will be arguing with the podium.
The Bee may be making fun but it is criminal who we have in charge in this country.
They’re preparing us for when Biden steps out of Air force One before the stairs are in place.
The writers at the Bee are pure genius!
“CNN Throws Biden Under the Bus”
First true LOL of the DAY! Love. It. :)
Setting the stage for the coronation of CumAllah.
It can’t be long before the spin will how humane the voters were to have elected such a fine poster boy for dementia - to take away the stigma, doncha know? The new dream will be to have all the heads of state be seniile, so the Marxist power players can operate unimpeded.
I thought the BEE was supposed to be a satirical site, this seems like a serious story.
Empty chair redux

Cleverest line of the year.
Bada-Bing!
It’s getting harder to tell satire from reality.
I’m waiting for him to forget to put on his pants.
And a few were even sniffed.
Don't kid yourself... Biden's not in charge of anything.
