President Joe Biden has announced his first formal press conference in months. We are all very curious about what exactly he is going to say — Biden most of all, I imagine.

Republicans are having a great deal of fun with Biden’s unreadiness to submit himself to the rigors of giving staged answers to predictable questions from a corps of mostly friendly and polite reporters. That’s fine — hoist on his own petard and all that — and the rhyme between Biden and hidin’ is difficult to resist. The limericks practically write themselves.
