Joe Biden is wrapping up his whirlwind tour of Vietnam as he wraps up most engagements these days

By muttering listlessly before shuffling off the stage

Staffers and anybody haven't spoken

Call my I said there are five questions. I need to be away

Oh, yeah, I need a VVOA he opens up. He says hey, there was the staff

What was I supposed who was I supposed to call on? I can't find who I was supposed to call on all right

Does anyone have questions and then some of the actual reporters who might ask potentially a challenging question raise their hands

He says not around at you. I'm not calling you who was I was I was supposed to call on it. Well anyway. All right, bye

The worst part of Biden's performance is not the senility

Which we've all known about for years and it's not even the cynicism which we've all known about for decades

It's the transparency

Biden isn't even trying to hide his unaccountability

He isn't even trying to pretend to take serious questions from an independent press

He isn't even

really claiming to be running the show

In some ways

Transparency is worse than deceit

At least if Biden were trying to deceive us into thinking that he's really in charge and

Responsive to the people at least it would signal that he respects our intelligence or that he cares what we think

But he doesn't he jokes about his irresponsibility

He doesn't campaign. He doesn't act as though he needs our votes

And maybe that's because with all the recent changes to our electoral system
