'Did you ever have to deal with the last guy to leave the party who
wouldn't take the hint that the fun ended an hour ago and he's the only
reason you aren't in bed already, sleeping it off? You finally
maneuvered him to the front door, the Uber is honking in the driveway,
but he won't wrap up the 12" extended dance mix "Goodnight!" and leave.
Presidentish Joe Biden has been on his way out the door since June, and
that sound you hear outside is an Uber driver at the absolute end of his
patience.
One empathizes.
Yet Biden isn't just a loudmouth partygoer who won't take a hint —
although he certainly is a loudmouth. His parting gifts to an ungrateful
nation include various bans on oil drilling, entangling us deeper in
Syria, pardons and commutations for everyone from his bagman/son to
violent drug felons, selling off unused border wall material before the
new administration can get to them, altering the order of succession at
various federal departments to thwart Donald Trump from carrying out his
campaign promises — among others.
Biden is protecting Our Sacred Democracy, you see, because the people
voted wrong.
And today's latest and most enraging, pre-emptive pardons for the entire
Jan. 6 committee, Gen. Mark Milley, and that toxic Hobbit, celebrity
medical spokesmodel Anthony Fauci.
Of course, Biden did none or very little of this himself. How much of
what he affixes his signature he actually comprehends isn't known.
However, a weekend report from the New York Times indicates that on a
meter from "None" to "All," the needle is firmly on the left-hand side.
How bad was it? Saturday, my Red State colleague Bonchie noted on X,
"Mike Johnson describing Joe Biden having no idea he had signed an EO
banning LNG exports, instead believing he had just authorized a study,
is the biggest presidential scandal in history."
"Staffers were lying to Biden about EOs they wanted and getting him to
sign them. Insane."
As for that NYT report...
Word came out over the weekend that Biden will be writing his memoirs,
and you can bet the next month's mortgage and car payment that Biden's
book will be the extended play version of that crappy little speech he
gave last week. "I left the country with a booming economy, a secure
border, world peace, and — thanks to my administration — Taco Tuesdays
are now free for everybody."
The most that can be said about Biden's farewell address, such as it
was, is that it happened. Few heard it, and even fewer listened. When it
was over, the impression was even less than if Biden had not spoken at
all.
I will not read Biden's memoir, which will certainly be even less his
work than anything "he" did as president. George Will — this was decades
ago when his columns were still vital — once quipped about another
Democrat's memoir, "It is not my habit to read books that their putative
authors have not read," or words to that close effect.
Of the many improvements we'll see starting today at noon Eastern,
perhaps few will be more beneficial to the health of our civic
institutions than this: we will know — for the first time in four years
— who the president is'
