There is little of that fire left in the two-term president, as he has for some time now seemed low-energy and not particularly passionate. On Sunday, however, he showed that he can still drop some all-time whoppers when the time is right.

Appearing on “CBS Sunday Morning,” the former president minimized the mental decline of Joe Biden and seemed to think it unimportant that the Democrats and the media perpetuated one of the all-time political hoaxes of our time by attempting to hide it from the public.

He seemed “on top” of things, Clinton said, somehow keeping a straight face. What planet is he living on?

While speaking with correspondent Tracy Smith, Clinton was asked about the bombshell book “Original Sin” written by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson, which claims that Biden’s aides covered up the politician’s declining cognitive and physical health during his ill-fated reelection campaign. 

After Smith asked Clinton if he had ever had “a moment with [Biden]” where he felt that he was “unfit to run for president,” Clinton responded, “No. I thought he was a good president.”

“The only concern I thought he had to deal with was, could anybody do that job until they were 86?” Clinton continued, referring to Biden’s age. “We’d had several long talks. I had never seen him and walked away thinking ‘he can’t do this anymore.’”

Clinton added: “He was always on top of his briefs.”

“He was always on top of his briefs.” Good to know. 

Even the interviewer seemed taken aback by Clinton’s frankly ridiculous assertions:
