President Joe Biden joked with Spanish King Felipe VI at a lavish dinner at the royal palace in Madrid on Tuesday night as Jill Biden admitted she was worried she and Queen Letizia would clash in their outfits.
Biden pulled out one of his favorite jokes as the royals welcomed them to the largest royal palace in use in Europe. The ornate granite building has 135,000 meters of floor space and contains 3,418 rooms.
'We both married way above our stations,' Biden joked to the King and Queen after he and Jill greeted the royal couple, who stood waiting in the throne room. It is one of the president's favorite jokes

Yeah, Joe, you may have married way above your station, but that wife died. Now you're left with another man's sloppy seconds.

Joe thinks he's a stud, married to a true hottest. And of course, Jill thinks the same about herself. Two insanely delusional people.

Stealing a line from Reagan, plagiarist! Not the first time and it won't be the last for this demented old fool.

What exactly is the purpose for Biden’s visit? Besides Jill wanting to take her grandkids to Spain on our nickel, I mean.

Did Joe Sniff the Queen's hair?
Since she is an adult, she is too old for him to want to fondle, but he doesn't mind sniffing grown women's hair.

Joe, a hook up with a sixty year old hooker at 2 am in a waterfront bar is above your station.

If Joe did marry above his station it wasn't by much. There is no comparison between her and Queen Letizia. None. And it seems that white wasn't appropriate for the occasion, either. At least she didn't don one of those tacky floral dresses.

Actually, it was Reagan joke. And his delivery was much better. And substantiated. I wouldn't be surprised if our Plagerizer-in-Chief cadged it.

G.W. Bush said this about his wife a long time ago right after he was in the WH. Feeble Alzheimer jerk has to keep it up to the end, plagiarize, plagiarize, don't let anything evade your eyes. The dame he married comes from Willow Grove outside Philadelphia. 'grove', 'nuff said!

Joe has used that tired line far too many times. And it was not the thing you say to th husband pf a qieen. Jill too dumb, too gauche, to be mortified that her man-tailored white pant suit looked more like Wimbledon than it did for a lavsh dinner party at a royal palace. We remember how Mooch looked silly in that housekeeper getup with the bow on the fanny when she went to have luncheon with the former King and Queen and princess Letizia at their summer palace on Mallorca. The photo of Mooch and gorgeous Letizia (who wore a lovely simple day dress)
The gauche remark about “clashing” in white pantsuits was crigeworthy. Letizia had earlier worn a feminine white pantsuit with flared legs. Jill was in one of her wildly floral Walmart tablecloth creations.
I keep envisioning PDJT and Melania ROFL when they see these photos. The gem is the one taken from the rear when they are faced with going up that very long, ceremonially decked out palace stairway.
PS. I have lived in lovely neighborhoods where a woman would not wear a white pantsuit to ANY kind of dinner party unless it was a backyard BBQ.

What is the Spanish word for tacky? What is the Spanish word for clueless? What is the Spanish expression for social climber?
Letizia: la chacha. "Dr." Jill: Abigail Adams is turning in her grave.

That joke may go over in Wilkes Barre and Scranton, but no one with an ounce of breeding or manners would say such a thing to the leader of another nation. Biteme continues to embarrass America.

Self deprecating quips are fine for a man from a middle class family. The depreciation of a King who was born into that station in life (as the first born son of the King Juan Carlos I) is insulting and stupid.

Very poor choice of pantsuit. She slouches, she walks like a dude. Not attractive at all.

A white pants suit to a state dinner at a royal palace? Who does she think she is, Hillary? I swear, the same person who dressed Mooch is dressing Jill and that person is an undercover Republican. The white pants suit was entirely appropriate for the queen during the day but not for the evening event.
