Anony Mee ''During the campaign season, it was something of a game to see what would happen when Joe Biden went off script. The joke becomes less funny when we realize that, off-script, Biden's default setting is mean — and that this mean man will be America's representative in important, stressful situations both at home and abroad.
"If he really is president-elect, the whole world will hang on Joe Biden's words. If President Trump is unable to secure an immediate second term, in about a month, Biden will occupy the most powerful position in the most exceptional country in the world. Every utterance will be dissected, parsed, scrutinized, imbued with meaning, and probably cause the occasional bar fight. But as Andrea Widburg reminds us, Joe Biden is weird, racist, disconnected, and drooling. He's all that, and it all comes out of his mouth.
"Reading from the teleprompter, as long as it moves at the correct speed for him at that moment, he sometimes sounds okay — a bit robotic, totally scripted, but okay. Trying to recite from memory or engage in a logical train of thought on his own, though, Biden often falls into the argy-bargy. It's awful listening to him trying to claw his way from there into rationality." . . .
