After Week of Joe Biden's Dementia Being Obvious to Everyone, MSNBC Copes by Pushing New Storyline That It's Really Trump Who's In Steep Cognitive Decline

Happy Monday, dear morons and moronettes.

Once more unto the breach.

MSNBC is coping hard after Biden froze again, this time at a Hollywood fundraiser. Barack Obama had to take him by the arm and lead him off the stage.

MSNBC is pushing this hard. Trump referred to his former White House physician as "Doc Ronny Johnson" when the man's actual name is "Doctor Ronny Jackson."

He confused the common name Johnson with the equally common name Jackson. The name "Jack" being a nickname for "John."

Therefore, he's worse than Biden.

There's a cool fact that you can easily read badly misspelled words as long as 1, the misspelled right letter, 2, the length of the word is about right, and 3, there's context that suggests what the word is.

For example, you will have no trouble reading this:

"Joe Biden is showing signs of avadcned dimetian."

Fluent readers usually do not read words letter by letter. They did as children, but as they got more skilled at reading, their eyes began recognizing words by sight-pictures.

There's a very stupid pedagogical theory that says we should teach little children how to read by sight-pictures -- "whole word" reading they call it -- but doctors of education are morons. Children cannot read by "whole word." They need to work out words letter-by-letter until they've done it so many times that they can start snapping sight-pictures. You can't start with that.

I mention this because, as a writer, I know that I am usually thinking two or three words ahead of the word I'm currently writing, and I will often accidentally write some other word beginning with the same letter as the word I meant to write. If I'm writing quickly, with my fingers unable to keep up with my thoughts, I might write "their" instead of "there" -- not because I don't know the difference between the words, but because my conscious, engaged mind is on to the next few words ahead of that and his left a rote, more robotic part of my brain to actually type the word I thought of two seconds ago. And sometimes that rote, robotic part of your brain just glitches.

So Trump said "Johnson" instead of "Jackson."

Did he ever say affufflemwhoosen? Because Joe Biden has.

By the way, this was the level of entertainment on display at the Hollywood fundraiser.

Jack Black is very 2003. The NeverTrumpers probably still think he's that funny rotund young man who is so spirited and energetic. Like that other wildly original and energetic young man, Robin Williams.

Nanoo nanoo y'all!
