You know things are bad when Saudi television mocks the president of
the United States in a SNL-style spoof. A state-run TV station
featured a comedy sketch depicting Joe Biden attempting to address the
Ukraine crisis, but he's seen wandering away from the podium and
falling asleep mid-sentence, while also being constantly prodded by
his VP over what to say given he struggles to remember basic names and
information.

The sketch went viral after it hit social media on Monday, and comes
after last month Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly
rejected attempts by the White House to set up a phone call between he
and Joe Biden, at a moment the US is urging the Saudis to ramp up oil
output. Watch the brief segment below:

The sketch from the show Studio 22 begins with "Biden" barely aware of
his surroundings as "Harris" tries to pull him back on stage in order
to stutter through some short sentences, as The Jerusalem Post
described further:

    The overarching theme of the clip is that President Biden is old.
The character is obviously unaware of his surroundings and prone to
falling asleep mid-sentence. Consequently, the audience sees Harris,
played by a male actor in drag, telling the President what to say and
do.  At the end of the clip, Biden finally falls asleep and Harris
literally puppets his unconscious body, screaming, "clap for the
president!"

The clip was an obvious and perhaps over-the-top attempt at
highlighting the 79-year old president's cognitive decline in old age,
also after a series of recent remarks on Ukraine that the White House
had to scramble to walk back. The Saudi spoof included the following
dialogue:

    BIDEN: Yeah, we gotta talk about the crisis in Africa.”

    HARRIS: [taps and whispers again]

    BIDEN: Yeah Russia. And I wanna talk about President of Russia–[pauses].

    HARRIS: [whispers]

    BIDEN: Putin. Putin. Putin! Listen to me, I have [a] very
important message to you. The message is [falls asleep and snores].

But just days ago a very real clip of Biden giving a press conference
on the White House lawn while standing beside Harris wasn't too far
off from the extremes that the Saudi skit depicted...

    BIDEN: "I was in the the foothills of the Himalayas with Xi
Jinping, traveling with him, that's when I traveled 17,000 miles when
I was Vice President. I don't know that for a fact."

He began by saying "America as a nation can be defined as a single word..."

But then Biden inexplicably drifted off and changed thought entirely,
breaking into his own sentence with "...excuse me, I was in the
foothills of the Himalayas with Xi Jinping, traveling with him,
traveled 17,000 miles when I was Vice President. I don't know that for
a fact."

And it's of course unclear what the bizarre Himalaya story was meant
to convey. Given the timing and fact that the Saudi skit was produced
days after that last Friday White House speech, the Saudis were
clearly taking aim at the incident, using it to highlight current lack
of faith in Biden as a global leader during the Ukraine crisis.
