And it’s not just blue-on-blue snark, but CALIFORNIA blue-on-blue snark. It also proves just how much a failure Kamala Harris has been as a politician and as a vice president.

It’s been no secret that Harris was nothing but an affirmative action pick. She was chosen by Joe Biden because, like a pandering dummy, he promised to pick a black woman for vice president. That narrowed the field to very few and many inexperienced choices. Kamala Harris, who had told some tall tales herself in order to smear Joe Biden as a racist during an early debate (which earned her Jill’s ire and she had to attempt to laugh off later when picked as Biden’s running mate), won the vice presidential lottery because she owned a vagina that was the right color. That was her only qualification. She didn’t deliver a key voting bloc to Joe, she had dropped out of the presidential race before the first primary or caucus was even held, and she wasn’t from a state that Joe needed an extra boost from. California hasn’t gone red for a presidential election since 1988. That state is deep royal blue, and Joe was always going to win it.

But then the American public saw Kamala Harris in action. She, to put it simply, is an entitled dumbass. It’s clear that Harris has been coasting on her limited skills her entire adult life. She isn’t an expert in any one subject that allows her to show off whatever smarts she might have. Her own staff gets thrown under the bus when she doesn’t do the homework. At this point, Kamala has been repackaged and remade and reintroduced so many times that they should just move her vice presidential office out of the White House and into the closest outlet mall.

And that doesn’t even address her personality. She has an off-putting laugh that is worse than Hillary Clinton’s. She comes off as incredibly fake and insincere (they had to put her with child actors, for crying out loud – probably because real kids who weren’t getting paid would have just laughed in her face). Harris doesn’t show any brilliance here, either, as she gushes inanely about Venn diagrams and electric schoolbuses. She has no idea how to act like a real person (does this woman not have friends who would get in her face and tell her anything, or does she only have toadies who suck up to her?), and the polls show it. Kamala Harris is the most unpopular vice president since… well, since they started tracking this stuff.

Which leads us to the upcoming 2024 presidential election. The Biden team knows that they are stuck with Kamala Harris, as much as they may hate it. Tossing her off the ticket would require a level of political finesse that they simply don’t have and can’t afford. And Harris would have to be replaced with another “woman of color.” Even David Ignatius of the Washington Post said the quiet part out loud – that Joe and Kamala should not run again, or, at the very least, that Harris needs to not be on the ticket.

“But I don’t think Biden and Vice President Harris should run for reelection. It’s painful to say that, given my admiration for much of what they have accomplished,” Ignatius continued. “But if he and Harris campaign together in 2024, I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement — which was stopping Trump.”

Ignatius suggested Biden’s age is a liability heading into 2024, citing recent polling that shows a majority of voters believe the president’s age is an issue when it comes to serving a second term. Biden is 80 and would be 86 at the end of a possible second term.

The columnist and occasional novelist argued that, as a result of Biden’s age, voters may focus more on Vice President Harris, who he noted carries a favorability rating around 40 percent.

He wrote that Biden “has never been good at saying no,” arguing that he should have “resisted” picking Harris as his vice president over someone like then-Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.). Ignatius also said the now-president should have stopped his son, Hunter Biden, from joining the board of a Ukrainian energy company, which has become fodder for GOP attacks and investigations.

Apparently, Joe Biden is really Ado Annie Carnes from “Oklahoma!” and “cain’t say no.” That’s a GREAT personality trait for a president, hmmmm?

The Kamala Harris albatross is not going to go away. But that doesn’t mean that other Democrats don’t recognize what a liability she is. Elizabeth Warren already tried the not-saying-something-honest tactic this last March, and ended up having to grovel publicly afterward.

Nancy Pelosi, Queen of San Francisco, cares not what Kamala Harris thinks of her. The former Speaker, who apparently has nothing better to do with her life than hold power in perpetuity in the House, knows California politics better than her own dentures. She knows how Kamala Harris came up through the ranks in California. While Nancy Pelosi has a vested interest in keeping Joe Biden in office – she hates Trump, and Biden is actually younger than Pelosi – she has exactly zero loyalty to Kamala. And she doesn’t care who knows that.

Pelosi, who announced last Friday she’s seeking reelection to Congress in 2024, was asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper Wednesday night if she thought “there’s any chance [Biden] does not continue running.”

“I hope not, I hope not,” she replied, dodging a definitive answer.

“President Biden has – he has great experience and wisdom. He’s been at this for a long time, as you know, as a senator, vice president and now president,” said the former House Speaker, who is 83 years old herself.

“He has a vision for our country that’s about fairness and justice and addressing the kitchen table of America’s working families.”

She admitted “there may be concerns” among Democrats about his age, but said, “everybody’s for him — overwhelmingly everybody’s for him.”

Amid these scandals, Cooper asked Pelosi if she believes Vice President Kamala Harris is Biden’s best option for a running mate.

She just laughed off the question, as she tried to dodge it — and quietly admitted there’s not too much to the position.

“He [Biden] thinks so,” Pelosi replied. “And that’s what matters.”

She went on to call Harris, “politically astute,” noting that when she was running for Attorney General in California, she originally only had 6% support in the polls — but was able to turn that around.

“I don’t think people give her enough credit,” Pelosi said.

“Her values are consistent with the president’s values. Why would she be vice president if she were not?” she asked.

When Cooper tried to press the California Democrat for an actual response as to whether she believed Harris was the best running mate, the former House Speaker suggested the vice president doesn’t do all that much, but is an “intellectual resource.”

“She’s the Vice President of the United States. And when people say to me, ‘well, why isn’t she doing this or that?’ I say, ‘Because she’s the vice president. That’s the job description. You don’t do that much,’” Pelosi said.

She added: “You know, you, you know, you’re a source of strength, inspiration, intellectual resource, and the rest. And you, and she, I think she’s represented our country very well at home and abroad.”

MEOW.

So she inspires people and strengthens them by not doing that much?

There’s really no way to spin that. If Nancy Pelosi wanted to support both Biden AND Harris, then she would have said so. The fact that Anderson Cooper is asking this question means that the Democratic establishment is nervous about keeping Kamala on the ticket. Pelosi points out that she’s had a rocky electoral history, and then acknowledges that the job of vice president is to sit around and do pretty much nothing. Except that Biden DID task Harris with issues like, oh, the southern border, and she’s done nothing with that. The one thing Kamala has been able to do is stand behind Joe and be breathing in case he doesn’t make it up or down the next staircase he meets. The American public has taken Kamala’s measure and isn’t impressed. Nancy Pelosi, being the political wolf-in-grandma’s-nightie that she is, knows this – which is why she has no problem absolutely whacking Harris with these backhanded compliments.

The real problem, though, is that nothing will come of this unless something DOES happen to old Joe. If he becomes obviously incompetent, or dies, before the nomination, then it will be an open bloodbath within the DNC, as everyone scrambles to get a new not-Harris candidate into the show, and Kamala herself isn’t going to go down without a fight. So San Fran Nan might be poking at Kamala now, but if Joe goes down, Nancy Pelosi will probably be leading the charge to make sure Kamala Harris is not elected in her own right.
