HBO releases The West Wing - The Biden Years

It was announced today that HBO will release a sequel to award-winning political show The West Wing, focussing on the years of “Grandpa” Joe Biden’s presidency.

Writer Aaron Sorkin’s heavy cocaine use has often been cited as the reason for the fast-talking intellectual brilliance of the original show. It’s thought he’s now taking ketamine to help him reproduce Joe Biden’s speech patterns.

'There was scene in the West Wing where the president accidentally took two different pain meds when he was supposed to take one or the other, and became dazed and incoherent as a result,” explained Sorkin. “So now I just have to write the whole show that way.'

'The Biden Years will contain just as many witty and quotable lines as the original,' an HBO executive reassured reporters today. “'n fact, even though the show hasn’t officially been released, the scene where Biden assembles his staff and tells them ‘We gotta beat Medicare… the number of people, so many people… I just can’t believe… they never even… is it Tuesday today?’ has already become a viral internet sensation.'

It’s not known what new elements they plan to introduce for the second season, though the title of the first episode is said to be “The 25th Amendment”.

Biden campaign leaves old folks’ home with wrong doddery old man

President Biden’s campaign for re-election suffered another setback today when it emerged that, after a campaign stop in an old folks’ home, his entourage left with the wrong doddery old man.

'Look, you can’t blame me” said an embarrassed aide. “They were dressed in the same comfortable leisurewear with stretch pants. And sure, the old man kept saying ‘Hey, let go of me, who the hell are you people…’ But so does Joe most days.

'It was only when he said his urine bag was full, and I thought ‘That's weird, we emptied it an hour ago’ that I realised our mistake.”

It’s thought this wasn’t the only embarrassment of the day, as witnesses report that Joe sat down next to a very frail old lady and said “Hello my dear, do you know who I am?” and she replied “I’m sorry dear, I don’t - but ask one of the nurses, she’ll tell you.”

Meanwhile, several bookshops report they’ve taken all their books alleging that it doesn’t matter who’s President because “the deep state” is really in charge out of the “dystopian fiction” section, and put them in a new section called “Please God let this be true”.
