Democrats Prevent Further Biden Gaffs by Replacing Him with a Cardboard Cut-Out
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to all the gaffs Joe Biden has made in his recent speeches, the Democratic establishment has decided that
for the rest of the campaign they will replace him with a cardboard cut-out of himself.
"Joe's gotten to the point where he's not sure where he is most of the time, let alone who he talked to yesterday or what office
he's running for," said a DNC spokesperson. "This was starting to severely impact his campaign, so replacing him with a cut-out was our only
option."
"We'll use the cut-out primarily for speeches, and other appearances on a stage where there is little back-and-forth interaction.
We'll keep the stage dark, and use a large podium so the cut-out is hard to see."
"For the audio portion, we'll use recordings of his old speeches. We'll correct the gaffs, and splice in different lines from other old
speeches, so the recycled material sounds new. That's the formula for a good Democratic speech anyway."
"For debates, we'll just have to find a good voice actor to impersonate him."
"Joe's just not all there anymore," said the spokesperson. "We're hoping the Donepezil helps. In the mean-time, we put the Presidential
Seal on his walker, and told him he's already President. He doesn't know any better."
"We also gave him one of those ‘Easy’ buttons from Staples. Several times a day he hits it, and says he's bombing Canada."
When reporters suggested that this might give the American people a false image of Biden as a potential President, the DNC spokesperson disagreed.
"Absolutely not," said the DNC spokesperson. "This is an accurate portrayal of how a future Biden Administration will work: We'll put him out
there for show, while behind the scenes other people will be making all the decisions."
