It must be nice to be a Biden. The world may be on the verge of war, the American economy is in shambles, and vile antisemitism is exploding all across the country. But you still get to go hang out at the beach whenever anything bad happens. Heck, you can even hold a picnic on the South Lawn while Americans are being held hostage by Hamas terrorists (and call a lid before noon the next day).
Might as well hold a state dinner for Australia, right?
But maybe even the tone-deaf White House is starting to notice their horrible optics. For the upcoming dinner, the administration announced that they were canceling the B-52s. Awww, how diplomatic of them.
The White House scrapped plans to have the new wave band the B-52s perform at Wednesday’s state dinner for Australia’s prime minister after deciding that it would be inappropriate at a time when 'so many are facing sorrow and pain, in the words of first lady Jill Biden.
Oh, thank goodness that 'doctor' Jill, our moral arbiter, has weighed in on what's appropriate and not.
Note that they're not actually canceling the dinner -- because they are still out of touch -- just the band. And probably because of the name 'B-52s,' even though the band has nothing to do with the bomber (they named themselves after the beehive hairstyle).
So, they're still going to throw a ridiculously opulent party while Americans are still being held hostage, just no 80s music, because that would be bad. Or something.
HEY, LOL. Take it easy on the B-52s. They're not the best, but they're fun. Sure, Fred is really weird, but Kate Pierson has got a voice that goes for days.
Yeah, they're really more pop than new wave, but we'll let that one slide. It's not like Duran Duran was available.
HA. Except we're not sure if old James Taylor would spend more time singing or lecturing everyone. Hey, maybe Antony Blinken's band is available.
Lots of fun here with B-52s song titles and lyrics. Personally, we were hoping they would play Deadbeat Club, but only if Hunter came to the state dinner
We think the current administration is more like Veep but without the funny.
Hey, now that sounds like a great suggestion. But we think we'll let Israel handle Hamas in their own way. They've got this.
