"Let me tell you about this cat Jack, he was bad news, a bad dude. They called him Tidy Paws, he used to carry a bicycle chain and claws."
...has there been any concerted effort by literary scholars to revise Joe's inchoate public utterances into metered, rhyming surrealist poetry yet? You wouldn't have to do very much. As a voter, I am on the record as favoring an NEH grant for such a project.
I seem to remember someone (probably Bill Maher's staff) doing something like that for Sarah Palin after she entered the meth'y rambling stage. They put it to an electronic beat. It was pretty damn funny.
I could see Joe having a lot of potential there as an accidental hip hop star. Just make the chorus end "...then you ain't black!"
Now I'm imagining one of those cliche 90's/early00's gangsta rap album covers which just has a lot of thug iconography poorly photoshopped together. Joe's in the middle with an ice cream cone and it's called "Corn Pop a Cap in Yo A$$"
Oh I think Beat idea totally works, and probably better considering what an antiquated weirdo Joe is. I'll grow a goatee and snap my fingers in approval.
Oh to be a fly on the wall for that "Chocolate chocolate chip ice cream vs. blueberry unfrosted Pop Tarts" debate.
Or when they do a Walk and Talk shot of Joe walking through the terminal with his advisors on each side of him but he gets lost and they wind up in Baggage, on the tarmac, in the swampland...
Minus the rhyming (I think) this was done with Don Rumsfeld's words during the W administration. Good stuff. I'd welcome Biden receiving the same treatment.
I remember that one. I think Rummy's slightly clipped way of pronouncing words along with his braggadocio about the might of the military lent itself well to rapping.
Full circle: Schr├╢dinger's Cat is simultaneously a known-unknown and an unknown-known.

I -- showing my age -- was thinking of Biden as an ersatz beat poet a la Maynard G. Krebs, but your idea would probably have broader appeal.
I just recently made a BULWORTH reference. Plate of shrimp.

Joe is actually busy collaborating with Aaron Sorkin on "Waiting for Godot 2: JetBlues'sTerminal 5 at JFK."

Maynard G. Krebs! That IS a blast from the past.
Don't think there is anything for Biden yet.
