“Good afternoon. This is IsAC’s political correspondent Ron Knee speaking. Today I’m privileged to be joined by US President-elect Mr Joe Biden. Thank you for taking the time to speak to us, Mr Biden”.
“Huh? Where am I? Who are you?”.
“Er, this is an interview for IsAC in the UK, Mr Biden”.
“Ukraine huh? You speak good English for a Rooski son”.
“No Mr Biden, not the Ukraine, the UK; that’s England, Scot-“.
“Oh yeah, I heard of that England place. Run by that Elizabeth dame, Meghan Markle’s mother. I know all about it. I never miss an episode of ‘The Crown’ on Netflix. In my position, you gotta keep posted about what’s going on around the world. Ron huh? Say, can I call you Ronnie for short?”.
“Well certainly Mr Biden. Now, perhaps you could give us your reaction at the end of what’s been a long and often very bitter campaign”.
“It’s been tough. A dirty campaign. But hell, we had to beat that son-of-a-bitch George. He was leading the country to perd… perdit… to ruin”.
“George? You surely mean Donald. Bush isn’t the present incumbent, it’s Donald Trump”.
“Yeah, him as well. He’s a very confused guy, unlike me. He’s crazy. I was saying to my wife Valerie just the other night-“.
“Excuse me, but Valerie is your sister. Your wife’s named Jill, I believe”.
“Ha Ha! Darned if those two don’t hornswoggle me all the time! Got it wrong at that campaign event in San Diego too a while back. They switched on me!”.
“It was Los Angeles, Mr Biden. You must admit, your seeming confusion did give your opponent ammunition, allowing him to question your mental faculties”.
“Heck Ravi, I’m telling you that my opponent’s claims that I didn’t know what day of the hour it was were all vicious smears. You won’t find a more mentally alert 87 year old in this whole US of A”.
“You’re 78 Mr Biden. I’d better point that out for our followers. And for yourself, come to think of it. Anyway, what message would you like to send to the American people now that you’re on your way to the White House?”.
“Well, the end of our long darkness is at hand. It’s time to resolve the conflicts that have plagued us under Obama. It’s time to close the rifts, to heal the wounds. Time to go forward as one into the sunlit uplands, one nation, undivided, under God. I pledge to play my part to the full, as sure as my name’s er… ahm…”.
“*Sigh* Mickey Mouse. Ah, there’s a young lady in a nurse’s uniform here, telling me to cut our chat short as it’s time for your warm milk and afternoon nap”.
“Well, I do feel a bit sleepy. But as I go, let me leave you with these final words. As a great patriot once said, ‘let’s make America great again!’. Say, are there any of those chocolate cookies today?”.
“Oh dear. This Ron Knee, for IsAC, returning you to the studio”.
Nominated by: Ron Knee
