I don't care either.
The Peter Principle applies here.
And not just her (because she's a woman). There's plenty of Peter Principle men out there too.
It's just every time she opens her mouth...

My reply to KfLQ was an inside joke that only someone who has lived in California for a long, long time would pick up on. Nothing more was added.

It was a Californian who picked up on that immediately and ran with it and made a mountain out what could have been left as a mole hill. He knew who the "Willie" was and exactly what I referred to. No one outside of the state would really know.

Do you or anyone else here know without googling ? I can discuss Harris at length from a whole different POV. I know her back story rather well. Do you want to go there ? If so, ask me over in the Biden thread so we can leave this one alone for the more mundane things it is meant for.

Remember, this is the post here that I originally posted my picture without any extra comments that started this latest conversation ...

Yep.  I knew someone would come up with this sooner or later.

He only hosted a couple of seasons of the 18.

Here's the original host that I remember as a kid.  It was somewhat recent local history on TV for me ...

What is relevant, then, is her qualifications for the position, and how she is performing in that position, How she got to that position is not really relevant.

So if we move away from the topic of who she’s screwed (this same annoying thing came up with Gary Hart as well as Donald J Trump,  remember?) I agree that she’s not demonstrated enough political skill to make me want to vote for her - unless the other choice is some bully like Desanctimonious. She had a real career before being tapped for VP, and you can’t maintain that without some skills. But it requires a certain amount of charisma, like Obama has, to lead. We haven’t seen that yet.

It would be a mistake for her to be nominated for Pres. The right answers are obvious, but it’s far too soon to unleash the “they drink the blood of frightened children” posse on them by saying their names for real. However, I’d happily vote for any configuration of Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Whitmer.

To be honest, outside of that distraction, I do get a sense that Vice President Harris is out of place, somehow. A party creature. Plastic. That somewhere inside is a far more dedicated person, fraught with insecurity, and clinging. It comes out in her body language and speaking style. She would be crushed by the weight of decisions one office up. No disrespect meant. I'm positive that she has principled and endearing qualities. Just my opinion. She could be a Republican and/or man and it wouldn't matter. We all want the best for our country and the results of an ideological application of the Peter Principal is coming to an end. There is great suffering and cruelty in this country and this world, and pecking away at it with posture and selective review will fail to meet a higher standard. Extend your hand to your brother/sister out there in the real world. Do it. An admonition to be sure, but not meant in a way patronizing. There is still time...
