Hail to the Chief
“He has funny taste in music. He loves show tunes.
He loves Cats – I’m not kidding. On a rotating playlist
that he’d walk out to like hype music he’d play ‘Memory’!”
– Alyssa Farah Griffin revealing Donald Trump’s hidden DJ skills.
‘Cause nothing gets a crowd jumping like “Memory”!
Choosing this week’s opening quote was quite a tough call. Who could turn down a one-word quote? When asked what she would take away from her catastrophic appearance on Dancing with the Stars, Anna Delvey simply said, “Nothing.” And you know what? She was telling the truth. In that moment, I almost respected her. It’s like when people clap when their competitor wins an Oscar. Nobody really buys it. Just once, I’d like someone (other than Kathy Griffin) to mouth, “Motherfucker!” So Anna, congrats for having a genuine moment on live television. And shame on Alfonso for saying, “Oh, you had fun, stop it!” No, you stop it, Alfonso. She didn’t.
The biggest question I’ve received this week is this: why did Joe Biden walk onstage at The View, past Whoopi and Sara, and go directly over to Ana Navarro and then the rest of the panel? Here’s what we didn’t see. During the commercial break prior to his entrance, the President and First Lady came out and surprised the hosts and the audience. He spoke to Whoopi and Sara before he was whisked backstage to make his official on-air entrance. We noted that when he shook hands with Alyssa Farah Griffin, he leaned over to say something in her ear. We now know he said that he admired her bravery in regard to speaking out against Trump. FYI, he spent most of the subsequent commercial breaks as well as time after the show meeting and taking selfies with members of the audience. I’m told he was particularly sweet to a 95-year-old grandmother who was in the audience. Frankly, I think Biden was just tickled to finally meet someone older than him!
