What’s a person got to do to get a movie ticket in this country? Apparently being a heartbeat away from the presidency is not enough, as Angie Basiouny reports in delawareonline.com. Joe Biden and his wife had to find some other form of entertainment when the movie they’d planned to see (The Curious Life of Benjamin Button) was sold out.
(That oughta teach you to come so late for a 7:45 show on a Saturday! How did you think you were going to have time to get your popcorn? Were you planning to cut the concession stand line–or expecting someone to share theirs, perhaps? Socialist popcorn–blech!)
Couldn’t they just pay a couple of poor saps off and take their tickets? Promise them a little extra cha-ching in their tax rebate or something? You’d think people would jump at the chance to do a little favor for Joe when he and his Obuddy have insinuated they’d do so much for them! The oddest thing is, no one seemed to notice who he was:
Remarkably, none of the other moviegoers appeared to notice. Employees said nobody mobbed Biden or called his name or asked for an autograph.
“It didn’t seem many people recognized him,” said employee Becky Gingrich, 21. “Honestly, I think people were just too wrapped up in themselves to notice.”
Bwahahaha! Excuse me…haha…cramp in side…oh…can’t breath–whew!
The Great JOE BIDEN–set to be one of the most powerful people in the entire world in 14 days? NO ONE “appeared to notice” him? (Even with all those Secret Service personnel surrounding him?)
This just further supports my theory: it is all make believe, kids. You believe the story when you see it played out in its proper environment–lights, confetti, Greek columns–but it has little or no meaning when stripped of the props. The main stream media spent a lot of time critiquing Joe Biden’s performance as a believable VP candidate for us and we took the bait–it looked good.
But, just as David Hasselhoff is not really a lifeguard, Barney is not really a dinosaur, and that guy who plays Dr. McDreamy cannot really perform a butt transplant between chimeria twins, Joe Biden is not really a Vice President–he’s only playing one. When he’s not performing this role in the flashy cool political arena, we do not recognize the greatness of a proper Vice President in the man. Apparently there’s no presence of character. We are “just too wrapped up in [our]selves to notice” him. We find ourselves more interesting than we find Biden, even when we’re just bumming around at the movies.
Seriously, do you think no one would have noticed Sara Palin?
