House of Windsor Meets House of Wind
Steyn Online ^ | 8 Nov 2021 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 11/08/2021 1:43:50 PM PST by Rummyfan

I have been reluctant to comment on certain well-aired rumors about Joe Biden at international meetings, mainly because a lot of them seem to originate on Chinese "social media", which, hard to believe, is slightly more tightly controlled than American social media. However, this latest incident was big news over the weekend - and we do seem to have a witness, HRH The Duchess of Cornwall:

An informed source has told The Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering in Glasgow last week.

'It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,' the source said. 'Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.'

On The Mark Steyn Show last year, you might recall, I quoted one of my favorite passages in one of my favorite books, John Aubrey's Brief Lives, published in 1696. It was in reference, aside from anything else, to why one should always bow from the neck to the sovereign, instead of from the waist, which is far more perilous, as the seventeenth Lord Oxford could tell you:

This Earle of Oxford, making of his low obeisance to Queen Elizabeth, happened to let a Fart, at which he was so abashed and ashamed that he went to Travell, 7 yeares. On his returne the Queen welcomed him home, and sayd, My Lord, I had forgott the Fart.

Biden's fart is no doubt the most coherent thing that is likely to emanate out of him...

We found a major source of the greenhouse gases.

The left is never embarrassed by Biden. They’re never ashamed of their loathsome antics either. These people truly are scum.

People who didn’t vote for Joe Biden are often insensitive to the real progress being made by his gerontology rumor team, particularly the physical therapists.

Rumored farting in Scotland is a major step forward from rumored pants-pooping in Rome.

In a couple of weeks we may be able to go for days at a time without any humiliating rumors at all. For instance, he may be able to take showers by himself without rumored assistance from his female family members.

I wonder if he got any on himself.

I admit I’m warped, but I can’t stop laughing every time I think about the leader of the free world letting one rip in front of a duchess.

A twist on the old saying...

Better out of the basement than out of the attic.

Globull warming. Humans outnumber cattle... and thus the “methane” connection should require personal “monitors” to tax the air pollution of flatus.

Put a valve in place and a collection tank, to quantify the tax. Like Butt-gig wants to do with taxing odometers.

Interestingly, the ancient Sumerians - whose language is the oldest written language in the world - had as their chief god, the head of their pantheon, Enlil (look it up). His name translates as “Lord Wind.” Surviving statuary often shows him on his throne ... hmmmmm.

Impeach Enlil (46).

I agree, especially since the idea royalty is bogus. British royals are just expensive tourist attractions and fodder for scandal magazines.

I would love to hear LBJ’s take on Brandon.

I wonder if Biden can fart and chew gum at the same time?
