Just before writing this piece, I saw Gary Oldman in a London production
of Samuel BeckettrCOs KrapprCOs Last Tape. For those unfamiliar, the play revolves around an old man listening to a series of tapes recorded by
himself when he was younger, musing pompously on his hopes and dreams
for the future. In his present, desiccated state, he can only scoff at
his middle-aged self, before being overcome by the pathetic realisation
that it is all up for him and that he is doomed to a miserable, unhappy future.

I suspect that much the same has been going on in Joe BidenrCOs household
of late. If, of course he still knows what day of the week it is, or
what his name is. It has transpired that, in preparation for the
creation of his uneagerly awaited memoir, Biden read his ghostwriter
Mark Zwonitzer various documents and notebooks that might have been
useful for its writing.

Unfortunately, Biden was unable to distinguish between the kind of
long-winded nonsense that a former president is contractually obliged to include in his autobiography and matters of national security. Wait, I
tell a lie: the recordings, which the Department of Justice now wants to
see released, allegedly include Sleepy Joe brightly telling Zwonitzer sensitive information as if it was the daily news. And at one point
cheerily declaring rCLI just found all the classified stuff downstairs.rCY

Biden, or at least those who are responsible for managing him these
days, is fighting to stop these recordings rCo 70 hoursrCO worth! rCo and their transcripts from being released into the public domain. Namely to Congress and the Heritage Foundation, which is leading the fight for
their release. In a statement, BidenrCOs magnificently named spokesperson
TJ Ducklo said that Biden had cooperated with Special Counsel Hur and
had agreed to allow him access to these audiotapes rCLon the condition
that they would not be made publicrCY. Ducklo went on to say rCLthe DOJ themselves have said these tapes serve no public interest.rCY

Others disagree. Mike Howell of Heritage has said that rCLThese tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding BidenrCOs fitness for office and
the fact Biden revealed classified information.rCY Given that the former president stated in 2024 rCLI did not share classified information.
Guarantee you, I did notrCY, there is going to be considerable
embarrassment on one side over the next few months. If I were a betting
man, I would suggest that a gaffe-prone politician who seemed
increasingly incapable of managing anything, let alone his country, is
going to be the one at fault. But we shall see soon enough.

It is unclear as to why the memoir is even being written. Most readers
got their Biden fill from his 2017 title Promise Me, Dad: A Year of
Hope, Hardship and Purpose, which revolves around his pre-presidential
life. Yet the domestic coffers need filling. Dr JillrCOs memoir entitled
View from the East Wing will be published early next month. Biden
supposedly signed a $10 million deal with Little Brown for the next
instalment in his adventures. It is hard to think of ten people who will
want to read the book, let alone ten million, but publishing is an
exercise in hope rather than sober judgement.

Biden is, of course, well known, if not beloved, by every American. Yet
this latest humiliation will reinforce a sense, gleefully whipped up by
his predecessor and successor as president, that he was increasingly not
up to the job. And that his stubbornness to admit this has brought
lasting calumny on his party. Should these embarrassing tapes make it
into the public domain, this shame will only deepen and continue to contaminate the Democratic body politic even further.

It is not enough to imagine biden's memoir will cause him trouble. We
must have the trouble for him right now, we can't wait to see it.
