#12  I think he had to stop along the way and and get his diaper changed.

#11  Late? Seriously? He was late to his own SOTU, but that was his thing to be late for.

Or is it, the only thing worse than being late, is being early and socializing?

"He kept grabbing the wheel and steering into the right lane!"

#10  NN2N1 he was seated there because he was too good to take the bus like most other leaders and took the Beast, got caught in traffic and was late. Don't they know who he is?

#9  Ian how many rows from the back?

#8  To be fair. There were a *lot* of people who had precedence over the U.S. President. For example the heads of all the commonwealth nations (Like Canada, Australia, etc...) which the Queen was the nominal 'head of state'. Then you have the royal family, etc... This was a British event - not an international event.

but still.... Fourteenth row... I can see 9th or 10th but 14th....

#7  Biden tearfully gives Queen one last sniff...

#6  That was my first thought.

Sitting field side at a baseball game mid-foul line is great until last night's hot wings and the day's beers & chili dog kicks in.

Yogurt, oatmeal, and ice cream I would imagine would be tougher, especially if our mental acuity baseline is 6 beers in.

#5  They didn't want him trying to sniff any women's hair. You note they sat him behind a guy.

#4  
Did they seat him back 14 rows as a snub on the USA? Or did his handlers ask for in case he had a "decorum" issue?

#3  A monarch's funeral is supposed to be a big deal I guess. Happens once a century, got to be remembered well and all. They probably didn't want some Biden to come fuck it up. Imagine an idiot like him sitting up close mumbling or just fiddling around. Trying to sniff the Duchess' hair.

#2  No biggie. The Brits were just afraid Brandon's farting would set Camilla to giggling again. Highly unseemly at such an auspicious event.

#1  In addition Biden was greeted by crowds chanting "Lets Go Brandon!" while his motorcade was driving thru London.
The guy is so demented he doesn't even know he a worldwide laughingstock.
