Political Parody As a Weapon Part LXXXV; Whatever happened to John Cougar?

Political Parody As a Weapon Part LXXXV; Whatever happened to John Cougar?

In Part LXXXIV last month, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg duked it out with Elton John. In this part, the Biden crime family will be blasted with a 20’th century cherry bomb.

At the spectacle where the leftist enablers of the press actually break bread with the democrat policymakers they cheer and cover for known as The White House Correspondents Association Dinner, an award was given to Washington Post reporter Matt Viser for his sensitive coverage of Joe Biden’s devotion to his religious faith and family. The award was itself a confession that the White House press corps (along with the network news and at least two cable news networks) are Biden sycophants.

An example of Viser’s coverage cited in the linked article:

“James Biden has in many ways always been the protector in the Biden family, the one who made sure the machinery ran while his brother soared; President Biden as recently as late last year referred to him as ‘my brother Jimmy, who fixes everything.’ He has been there for the bad times, comforting family members in distress, visiting the bedside of loved ones, getting them into rehab when needed. He was by his brother’s side at his first wedding, was at the hospital when Beau died, found a neurosurgeon when Joe had a brain aneurysm…”

Others, such as Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), have been less kind and sensitive when evaluating the business practices of the younger sibling of the White House’s current occupant. While the White House press corps may have circled its wagons around the incumbent who last week formally announced his re-election bid, other media outlets have begun to take notice of how the Biden family has traded on Joe’s name throughout his political career.

Of course, prior to the press and the democrat party colluding to make Biden the consensus candidate in the 2020 democrat primary, there was also scrutiny of the record of the Biden crime family. Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger, who would go on to flesh out this article into a book entitled “The Bidens: Inside the First Family’s Fifty Year Rise to Power”, detailed some of Jim Biden’s business deals when Joe Biden was the junior senator from Delaware serving on the banking committee. While Joe Biden was dating Jill, who was the estranged wife of Bill Stevenson, the owner of the Stone Balloon nightclub in Newark, Delaware; his brother Jim and partners opened up a rival night club entitled Seasons Change north of Wilmington.

Stevenson (who has contradicted the Bidens’ lie that Jill and Joe met on a blind date in 1975, and claimed he introduced them in 1972, and that he learned of their affair when Joe wrecked his Corvette and stuck him with the repair tab) would book bands into the club and sign contracts that would exclude them from playing at other venues within 20 miles, which limited the talent available to Jim Biden and his partners, who are not named in Schreckinger’s article. Stevenson also fought giving Jill a larger financial settlement in their divorce, tying it up for years before he prevailed in keeping control of his club. Shortly thereafter, state and federal investigators began scrutinizing Stevenson and his club, and he wound up losing the club and serving state and federal prison time for drug and tax violations.

Jim Biden’s other partners for Season’s Change included Joseph J. Reardon, Jr., who along with Biden and the others were sued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for defaulting on their loans from Farmers Bank in Delaware (that subsequently went under ) and First Pennsylvania Bank. An article in the Wilmington Morning News detailed who Biden, Reardon and the others used multiple shell companies to guarantee the loans that they made on the club, and then failed to pay, in a manner not unlike how banking records released to the House Oversight Committee show Jim and Hunter Biden used pass through companies to distribute Chinese funds to Biden family members.

What is difficult to follow is whatever happened to Joe Reardon, who disappeared decades ago after allegedly meeting with Jim Biden. The internet has been largely scrubbed of articles detailing the disappearance of Jim Biden’s former partner (and co-defendant). Joe Reardon would have turned 73 last month.

A disappearance that received more coverage at the time was American pop star John Mellencamp dropping the “Cougar” from his persona. Originally coming onto the rock scene in the late 1970s, the musician from America’s Midwest was forced to perform as “John Cougar.” As he experienced more commercial success in the 1980s, he transitioned to “John Cougar Mellencamp”, and finally dropped his feline prosthetic name by the end of the decade.

One of his hits in the late 1980s was the largely incomprehensible “Cherry Bomb”, whose video featured a couple dancing in a manner to make Al Franken envious. It was not until I read the lyrics online did I realize the opening line of the chorus was “That’s when a sport was a sport” and the closing line “Our hearts were really thumpin’ “, as the song rambles and words are not clearly enunciated in much of the song. Given Joe Biden’s own frequent difficulty in articulating words, this seems well suited for a Biden family parody.

 

Well, Joe came from Scranton, P A
And then moved to Delaware
When his father had figured out
Fewer voters to hoodwink there

Went to a big private school
Took a job in the ‘hood before civil rights
Sat tall in his lifeguard chair
And provoked all of his Corn Pop fights

That’s back when Joe was a joke
And it was tougher to sell him
And cash it meant everything
In the bag, fixed by brother Jim

Selling influence, makin’ friends
Joe goes out to sniff a baby
Open a club Seasons Change
Joe Reardon wasn’t missin’

Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Those early days didn’t last forever
And all the cash went out so quick
Joe got Jill but her ex got the club
So his butt they set out to kick

The word was passed by Joe’s big mouth
The ex went to jail and he lost his place
Now they tell the ex these days
At least you didn’t wind up in some building’s base

That’s back when Joe was a joke
And it was tougher to sell him
And cash it meant everything
In the bag, fixed by brother Jim

Selling influence, makin’ friends
Joe goes out to sniff a baby
Open a club Seasons Change
Joe Reardon wasn’t missin’

Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
All right

Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Amtrak Joe’s now in the White House
We’re surprised that’s where he’s livin’
Now inflation is through the roof
Student loans to be forgiven

Joe’s had some kids of his own
And Hunter turned out a lot like Jim
I hope that no one disappears
While the US Attorney investigates him

That’s back when Joe was a joke
And it was tougher to sell him
And cash it meant everything
In the bag, fixed by brother Jim

Selling influence, makin’ friends
Joe goes out to sniff a baby
Open a club Seasons Change
Joe Reardon wasn’t missin’

Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
