ENVOYED
CONFERENCE HALL.
BIDEN, AIDE and AUDIENCE.
AIDE Good afternoon ladies and gentleman and you, and welcome to this evening's conference. This morning it is my proud pleasure, privilege and pride to welcome Joe Biden, American President, the President of America and America's President. And he will be answering any question you may wish to pose... Yes, Sir?
AUDIENCE MEMBER Who's your favourite Spice Girl?
BIDEN Oh God, not that again! Spice went out of cooldom the sec Geri left, waaaay back in 98, and even before that, they were total shit.
AIDE Mr President, please answer the question.
BIDEN Well an official communiqué was officially issued at the official moment of my inauguration officially, in which I affirmed, I really really want Sporty.
(BOOS)
MEMBER Oh come on, mate, she's got no tits!
BIDEN (gets up, furious) An intelligent man doesn't put stereotype wank fodder first. You've got Playboy centerfolds for that, and I'd like to see them without make-up, photoshop and lighting! Actually, I don't think I would. An intelligent male places talent, charisma and personality first, and Mel trumps the lot of those sad old boilers.
MEMBER (laughs) Trump!
BIDEN Watch it!
AIDE Order please, ladies and gentlemen and you... Next question, Sir?
MEMBER Favourite colour?
BIDEN Blue.
MEMBER Why? Our organ demands a justification.
BIDEN (shrugs) Dunno really. It's just kinda nice. Mellow and the colour of sky and - I dunno, I guess it's just pretty like awesome, dude.
MEMBER What was the Rolling Stones' first number one?
BIDEN DUH! I Wanna Be Your Man.
MEMBER No it wasn't.
BIDEN Was so!
MEMBER Nope.
BIDEN I think you'll find it was.
MEMBER Nope, very common f**kup. I Wanna Be Your Man was actually the Stones' first hit, whereas the lads' first single was Come On, a version of the Chuck Berry ditty released on Chess Records in 1961 and covered by the boys for UK release in June 1963, less than a year after the band had played their first gig at the Marquee.
BIDEN Oh gosh, you're right? Duh! What'm I like, eh?
AUDIENCE MEMBER Pulp or Oasis?
BIDEN Oasis. I f**king hate Pulp. All rhat 'Well I don't see anyone else smiling around here' - what a bunch of wankers.
MEMBER Blondes or brunettes?
BIDEN Brunettes. Def. You know what I really really want? One of those Mediterranean babes like La Cucinotta, all dark hair and big boobs and hornsome curves. I mean, phwoar, right? Sorry to any blondes listening!
MEMBER Any messages to the royal family?
BIDEN Oh f**k off, you wanker. Always some party poop who wants to bring the mood down, right? Look, I know it's sad when some f**ker dies, but it happens all the bleedin' time, right? Plus England's f**king miles asway. And those dumb f**ks must be bored shitless of all these friggin' ondeloemcy messages, so f**k 'em.
AIDE Well said, you honour.
BIDEN Ah, stop it.
MEMBER How shall the USA react to Ukrainian forces entering the key Russian military stronghold of Izium, continuing their rapid advance across the northeast and igniting a dramatic new phase in the more than six-month war, so that city mayor Valeriy Marchemko stated, "Izium was liberated today," claiming to be in contact with the policeso that emergency services were working to clear it of possible hazards before residents could return even though Russia's Ministry of Defense -- which a day earlier had said that it was moving to reinforce its defensive positions in the region -- confirmed it had pulled its forces out of Izium, six months after its forces laid siege to and then seized the city. In a statement, it presented the retreat as a preplanned move, intended to strengthen its efforts in the east where...
AIDE Time's up, everyone. Time to leave...
