As William Shakespeare wrote in As You Like It, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women only players.”  That observation clearly applies to our current political situation.  As this is written, it’s become nearly certain that Joe Biden will be removed from the ticket.  That’s because word has come down from the true authority that’s in control of the Democrat Party – Hollywood.

After the June 27 debate, actor George Clooney, with the approval of Il Duce Obama, had a letter published in The New York Times, calling for Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden to be removed from the presidential ticket.

Clooney is a big fundraiser for the Democrat party.  About two weeks before last month’s debate, Clooney co-hosted a Los Angeles fundraiser for the Biden campaign that raised $30 million — breaking the record for the Democratic Party’s largest fundraising event.

But after wringing $30 million from a group of ignorant leftist A-holes such as himself, Clooney decided we need a new nominee, because the president he saw at a fundraiser in June “was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”

After professing his love for Joe Biden, Clooney admitted that the Biden he was with last month was not the Joe Biden of 2010 or “even the Joe Biden of 2020.” Clooney further admitted that, faced with the prospect of a second  Trump presidency, the Democrat party has “opted to ignore every warning sign.”  Clooney admonished, “our party leaders need to stop telling us that 51 million people didn’t see what we just saw,” at the debate.

Clooney explained that his sudden reversal was “about age. Nothing more.  But also nothing that can be reversed,”  adding, “We are not going to win in November with this president.”

As with every other lying phony leftist, Clooney pretended that Sleepy Joe’s mental condition was “new and upsetting information.”  Clooney wasn’t finished.  After hitting Biden with the shovel, he decided to bury his body, but in so doing, Clooney spilled the secret most thinking people already knew.  “This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I’ve spoken with in private.  Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.  We can put our heads in the sand and pray for a miracle in November, or we can speak the truth[now that our lies have been exposed].

The letter immediately sparked what could be called the Hollywood Sidestep, with media talking head after talking head mouthing the same scripted line- “Biden should step aside.”

An even more repulsive Hollywood A-hole, “Meathead” Rob Reiner, was more blunt, writing that Clooney had “clearly expressed what many of us have been saying. … We need someone younger to fight back.  Joe Biden must step aside.”  Reiner warned, “It’s time to stop fucking around.”

The Clooney letter and its aftermath proved that the farce that has been the Biden presidency has been nothing more than a show, produced by deluded leftists, some of whom actually believe that it’s actors and so-called celebrities who know what’s best for America.

Clooney’s letter release was just another Hollywood production.  It was published at the behest of Producer-Director Il Duce Obama, who had final script approval.  George Clooney was the star of the show, chosen by the Producer as the actor who might convince Joe Biden that it’s time to go.  He was the perfect Hollywood choice for the job.  After all, Clooney played a president of the United States in a Spy Kids movie.  For Hollywood, that’s the only qualification necessary.  It put me in mind of the scene from Animal House, “You better listen to him, he’s pre-med.”

Joe Biden won’t listen to Clooney, though.  I can’t understand why not.  He must know that he’s really just the person they cast in 2020 to pretend to be the President.  Biden played his part well enough for a while, but he has become unpopular. He was chosen because he could beat Trump, and now that it appears he can’t perform that role, the role must be recast.   After all, in Showbiz, it’s all about the ratings.  When the box office turns against the actor, the actor is out.

I remembered something that 1940’s actress Mary Astor once wrote, which aptly summarizes the four stages of Hollywood casting: Who’s Mary Astor?  Get me Mary Astor!  Get me someone like Mary Astor.  Who’s Mary Astor?

That description applies to the situation of our current Chief Executive – 1988 – Who’s Joe Biden?  2020 – Get me Joe Biden!  2024 – Get me someone like Joe Biden.  2025 – Who’s Joe Biden.  Only Biden won’t leave willingly.

He insisted on holding a “Big Boy” news conference this week. The conference was filled with gaffes, including calling Ukranian President Zelensky “Putin;”  calling his vice-president “Trump;” and a reprise of Biden’s creepy whispering.

This was nothing new.  Before the debate the Left ignored gaffes from “good old Uncle Joe,” and denounced anyone who mentioned them.  It didn’t matter because it was all part of the show.  Biden was just playing his part.  Now they want to recast the part, so they seize on any gaffe.

The problem may be that Clooney’s word alone isn’t enough.  Maybe they need to enlist the help of other actors who have portrayed presidents.  Biden might listen to a media-type.  Steven Colbert played a president in Monsters vs. Aliens.  Maybe a business-type guy.  Mark Cuban played a president in a Sharknado movie.  Biden has claimed he grew up in black churches.  Morgan Freeman played presidents four times.  Maybe they can make use of the age issue.  Harrison Ford, 82, and Gene Hackman, 94, have both played presidents.

I’ve got it!  Jack Nicholson was the president in Mars Attacks!  He could relate to Biden, one dementia patient to another.   Better yet, let’s call in Martin Sheen.  He has all the bases covered, having portrayed fictional President Josiah Bartlet, real president JFK, and to check the insurrection box, Robert E. Lee.

Biden should be grateful that Obama and Clooney are trying to ease him out gracefully.  Clooney at least told Biden he loved him before plunging the knife into his back.  But maybe it was just a genre problem.  Perhaps, instead of a drama, Biden would prefer a musical.  Hollywood can take care of that, no problem.

Get me Patty Lupone and Mandy Patinkin, for a remake of Evita.  In that play and movie, there’s a song entitled, Goodbye and Thank You.  In it, Eva Peron and Che Guevara sing of Evita’s breakup with tango singer Augustin Magaldi, which permitted her to begin her love affair with Colonel Juan Peron.  The ballad they would sing to Joe Biden would go something like this –

Goodnight and thank you, Joe Biden
You’ve completed your task
What more could we ask of you now?
Please sign the book on your way out the door
That will be all
If we need you, we’ll call
But I don’t think that’s likely somehow

Oh, but it’s sad that when a love affair dies
The parting, the closing of doors
But we must be honest, stop fooling ourselves

Which means “Up yours!”

Cut!  Print it!  Better take Clooney’s advice Joe, or you’ll never work in this town again.
