Biden's fractured transition period

Throughout Joe Biden's presidential election campaign there were a lot of unkind people who were literally waiting for him each day to fluff his lines or say Guatemala was in Africa or say his wife was called Peggy or to fall over his dog. But his campaign was pretty well gaffe-free. Not totally. There were a few excrutiating moments like when he said George as he was talking about Trump. But he never fell over or fell up a step or kissed someone he shouldn't have kissed. Compared to the gesticulating Trump, Biden was calmness itself. But oh dear now he HAS fallen over his dog or his dog tripped him up or the lead got tangled or whatever and the poor president-elect has fractured a foot. All that time as good as gold and then whoops, just 52 days away from entering the White House in triumph he is hobbling around with a concrete foot or a special boot. I wish him well of course and by Inauguration Day he should be zippedy-doo-da bouncing on both feet. But for heaven's sake, Secret Service chaps, keep that dog away from him. One fall over is unfortunate, two would be extremely careless and three would be seen as a general trend and therefore highly alarming for the millions who chose him to be the 46th president of the United States.
