Biden giving failures a second or third chance

-

Come on man. Now that Joe Biden is making appointmen­ts to his administra­tion, I’m sure everybody is super impressed. Joe has appointed many people with experience from previous administra­tions, and even though they were all pretty much failures in those capacities, Joe is willing to give them a second or third chance knowing that the law of averages tells us they will probably do something right eventually.

Joe has a lot of experience with failure since he had a ringside seat during the eight years Barack Obama spent proving to the world that you don’t have to be smart to be president. Now here’s the deal. Joe made clear with his selection of Kamala Harris as vice president, that ability, intelligen­ce and competence would play no role whatsoever in his appointmen­ts. For too long, previous administra­tions selected the “best and brightest”, leaving the intelligen­ce challenged of society shut out.

Joe feels it is time that the Homer Simpsons, Gomer Pyles and Kelly Bundys of the US get a chance to be included in the highest echelons of our national government. A truly diverse administra­tion must include diversity of brain power as well. And, never being one who was considered the sharpest knife in the drawer himself, Joe has real empathy for such intellectu­al dullards.

So come on man. Let’s all celebrate America’s wide diversity of I.Q. as Joe’s administra­tion launches the country into an era of American mediocrity as we have never seen before.
