Tuesday's Absurdity: Biden Channels Tim Conway in Video Talk About...Hamburger Meat

Our National Sock Puppet-in-Chief is back from his Delaware beach vacay, and if he were a normal person you’d expect him to have had his batteries recharged and be ready and raring to get back to work. But Joe Potato Head is no normal person: He’s an elderly, frail, visibly declining person who really should not be in charge of getting himself dressed, much less pretending to conduct the duties of the presidency.

Monday, for some reason, his handlers decided he needed to record a video talking about something or other - I really don’t even know what - and during it he went off his TelePrompter script onto a tangent talking about the high price of hamburger meat. As always, embarrassment and unintentional hilarity ensued.

Take a look:

BIDEN: "[My wife's friend] was sayin’ ‘do you realize it’s over 5 dollars for a pound of hamburger meat?!’ 5 dollars. Well this is partly, you know, the pound of beef today costs 5 bucks compared to less than 4 bucks before the pandemic.”

Now, that is some keen insight right there, isn’t it, folks? Why, how else would we know that the reason hamburger meat costs over $5 a pound now is because it now costs $5 a pound instead of $4 a pound, like it did before? You just cannot get this kind of valuable information in any ol’ place - you have to get it from the White House.

Somewhere up in heaven, the ghost of Tim Conway is performing his own imitation of Joe Biden:

God help us.

That is all.
