In the film, Being There, the Washington elite (carrying the coffin of the President) make the decision to put the dumb-ass Chance Gardner (Peter Sellers) forward as the next president. Interestingly the director, Hal Ashby, had this crazy decision played out before the pyramid with the all;-seeing-eye and the Rand (Corporation) — with the logo “Life is a state of mind”.

Introduction by DM
Today is a minimalist post about the 1979 film BEING THERE starring Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine… and Joe Biden.
The film was directed by Hal Ashby, the fourth and youngest child of a Mormon dairy farmer. After a rough childhood and a divorce all before he was 19, he left for California. One of his friends was a young Jack Nicholson. The maverick filmmaker won an editing Oscar and went on to direct a number of dramas — including Being There.
If you have not seen the film, Being There is about a middle-aged, simple-minded gardener named Chance who has spent his whole life tending the garden of a mansion. After the death of the owner he’s ordered out and wanders aimlessly, discovering the outside world for the first time. He meets, by chance the younger wife of elderly mogul Ben Rand (who is advisor of the president). Rand gets sucked in by Chancey Gardner’s language — “stimulate growth” reflects the changing seasons of the garden. The President, on meeting Chancey misinterprets this as optimistic political advice and starts quoting him.
But his critics refer to Chancey as having “rice pudding between the ears” as he rises up to the pinnacle of Washington elite. After Rand dies, the elite decide that Chaney Gardener should be the new candidate for the people.

I feel reality is now imitating art and fantasy.
How can the leaders of the world take Biden seriously? It is an embarrassment to the power structures; it’s an embarrassment to Western politics. While all media and western political structures attack Putin, the West is supposedly controlled by a dementia patient.
It’s totally insane — and it feels like I am watching the sequel to Being There.
