Will the press still give him credit for just showing up?

er, ah ….

Dugout Joe is scheduled to emerge from his bunker today and give a “press conference”. If it’s a real one, with actual, unscripted questions from persons self-identifying as reporters, it will be only the second time he’s submitted to the unpleasant experience, and at that, the first one included crib sheets and pre-selected questioners.

Biden’s first performance back in March was abysmal, but the Mainstream press mostly gave him a pass for not actually peeing in his pants or upchucking his pudding. Judging from the tenor of various tweets and excerpts of reports I’ve seen this week, it’s possible that this time more will be expected, or at least demanded.

The world awaits with bated breath.

UPDATE: Strike that. Corn Pop’s friend will give a “speech” at 1:00, then flee back to his Delaware basement to recover from his exertions.
