So, let me get this straight:
Biden calls a lid on talking to governors about something life-threatening:
Jen Psaki: Joe Biden Has Not Spoken Personally to Governors Affected by Winter Storms
Breitbart | 02/16/2021 | Charlie SpieringWhite House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that although President Joe Biden was “monitoring” states drastically affected by winter storms, he had not yet personally reached out to their governors. “The president has been kept abreast as I noted of the events and been provided regular updates on the storm and the progress,” Psaki said during the White House press briefing Tuesday afternoon.
. . . But . . .
When he does talk to one governor, he doesn’t discuss something life-threatening:
Biden, Gov. Cuomo Didn’t Discuss COVID Nursing Home Scandal, Psaki Says
NY Post | 02/16/2021 | Steven NelsonIt was the elephant in the Oval Office, but somehow, President Biden and Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn’t discuss his COVID-19 nursing home scandal when they met last week. The controversy “was not a focus of their conversation or a topic,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters during her daily briefing Tuesday.
Would have thought he had time to since Harris was taking all those foreign leader calls.
Governor Cuomo: Holy underwear! Old folks dyeing like rats in rest homes! Innocent women and children sick too! We have to protect our phony baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!

Biden can’t hold, or follow, an unscripted dialogue…
President Biden: As per your request, I’d like you to meet the new health czar of New York.
Governor Cuomo: I’d be delighted.
[extends his hand, then yanks it away on seeing Bart]
Governor Cuomo: Wow!
[whistles, then drops his voice]
Governor Cuomo: I gotta talk to you. Come here.
[grabs Bart and pulls him aside]
Governor Cuomo: Have you gone berserk? Can’t you see that man has Co…
[turns and sees Bart]
Governor Cuomo: Ha ha… wrong person. Forgive me. No offense intended.
[walks Bart back, then pulls Biden aside]
Governor Cuomo: Have you gone berserk? Can’t you see that man has Co?
