Old Joe Biden has been in politics for over half a century, and before the onset of his dementia, he could be a fluid and occasionally effective public speaker, although he was never as charming or compelling as he clearly believed himself to be. But as he has aged, the doddering corruptocrat who pretends to be president of the United States has lost whatever ability he ever had to move an audience.
Now, more often than not, he tries for an emotional effect and only manages to come off as weird, as with his bizarre habit of whispering points he wants to give particular emphasis. But Old Joe has never been weirder than he was on Tuesday in Virginia Beach, where he was supposed to be reading off the teleprompter an address about affordable healthcare, but took the opportunity to embark on a bizarre ramble about a nurse he had when he suffered two brain aneurysms in 1988.
Biden started on the path to his ramble by saying, “And, by the way, you docs are good, but if there’s any angels in Heaven, they’re all nurses — male and female. You know why? You guys let us — you guys make us — allow us to live. Nurses make you want to live. I’m not joking.” Usually when Old Joe assures us he is “not joking,” he is lying, but in this case that’s a perfectly reasonable gambit when speaking about healthcare: praise nurses. It’s especially canny of the old campaigner, since although he went out of his way to point out that nurses are both male and female, they’re mostly female, and so he managed to pander to his feminist base by slighting doctors, who are mostly male, and praising the women in the field.
Old Joe continued, “You lie there in the ICU, which I’ve done for a long time, and you look at those machines. And you know, if the line goes flat, that it’s over. But you just get tired. You don’t care.” But then Biden remembered the woman who made him care again. Not “Doctor” Jill, but a nurse: “When I was at Walter Reed all that time, after a couple of craniotomies, I was lying there. And I had a nurse named Pearl Nelson, military. She’d come in and do things that I don’t think you learn in medical scho— in nursing school.” The sympathetic crowd laughed and applauded at that for some reason as Joe plowed on: “She’d whisper in my ear. I didn’t — couldn’t understand her, but she’d whisper, and she’d lean down. She’d actually breathe on me to make sure that I was — there was a connection, a human connection.” Pearl Nelson deserves kudos indeed: after all, who would voluntarily want to breathe on Joe Biden?
