I'd also close my eyes if I had to listen to that kind of speech all day.

Close your eyes ≠ Fall asleep.
The best part is where the presidential custodian/watcher wakes him up.
But, yeah, I've fallen asleep during conferences. Still it's a bad look if one is the President of The United States.

I don't know. I find all these attempts to paint Biden as an idiot who can't spell his name a little pathetic and, frankly, boring and predictable. Isn't there enough material to attack him on actual issues? I think there is. This "smearing" style of political discussion is not going to win any hearts and minds; it's only deepening the rift.

Agreed.
And it's nothing new. Just remember when "Sir" Paul McCartney appeared in the Obama White House, and said "It's nice to have a leader who knows where the library of the White House is." (Paraphrasing here).
He ignored or was ignorant of (I'll chose the latter) the facts that a) The First Lady was a librarian and b) The President had a reading contest with his deputy chief of staff (and the books were more than 3rd grade level).
I'm sorry for the "whataboutism" post, but what people are complaining about goes back to the earliest days of the nation. So, today's criticisms about the lack of civility ring kind of hollow.

Hey, if you want to bring up outspoken rocks stars, I'll see your Paul McCartney, and raise you the American equivalent - Ted Nugent. Obviously, Sir Paul lacks "Lord" Ted's ready wit and sophistication, but I believe he's been a little what Copper would refer to as "impolite" on occasion.

You actually said that Nugent is the equivalent of McCartney.

No, I said he's the American equivalent of McCartney.
A bit like American Top Gear being the American equivalent of The Benny Hill Show.

"Baron" Donald Trump never invited that guy to the White House.
Or if he did, PS didn't show up.
I should probably have said 'the conservative equivalent of Paul McCartney'.

My point was that singling out much-loved musical icon Paul McCartney for being impolite is a bit much if you look at some of what followed.
Obviously, nobody in their right mind would think that the draft dodging musical buffoon was in any way comparable to a former Beatle.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
