Even Biden knows Kamala is useless

As the song in “Li’l Abner” said, “The Country’s in the Very Best of Hands.”  

I wonder if Joe Biden knows the tune?  

The treasury says the national debt
Is climbing to the sky
And government expenditures
Have never been so high
It makes a fellow get a
Gleam of pride within his eye,
To see how our economy expands
The country’s in the very best of hands

Please note that Joe’s got plenty of help. There are lots of hands building up that debt, opening up our southern border, proselytizing for the girls who think they are boys and vice versa.  Among Joe’s most energetic helper dolls is his vice president, Kamala Harris, the country’s first female VP of color, which is why she is so special, because she is a woman, whatever that is, and, being the daughter of an Indian immigrant mother and a Jamaican immigrant father, she’s not even a little bit white.  

It seems a little ungenerous of Joe Biden, then, to be complaining, in private anyway, that Kamala Harris, the country’s first female, first multi-racial VP, is not really “rising to the occasion” or taking “anything off his plate.” 

As some readers may know, yet another presidential election is scheduled for 2024 and — yet more evidence that the country’s in the very best of hands — the eighty-year-old Joe Biden is planning to do the country a favor by running again. All indications are that he is still planning to have Kamala Harris, the first VP from the distaff side, as his running mate. Unless Covid or another Chinese-Fauci-fabricated malady shows up for a repeat performance, Biden won’t be able to conduct his campaign from his basement, which should be interesting. 

According to a “former White House official,” one of the reasons that Joe will not be kicking back and fooling around with his vintage Corvette or perusing the classified documents he stores in his garage is that he is “concerned that Harris may not be able to beat former president Donald Trump, who is seeking the GOP nomination.” 

I think we can all admit that that is a legitimate concern, even though though the merry Harris is the first partially black woman to be vice president. (According to Vox, “some black voters debated whether she is truly ‘black enough.’” Shall we take a poll?) 

This is not to say that Joe does not admire his vice president. He clearly does. At a Women’s History Month recently, Joe blinked twice and shouted: “You know, our outstanding vice president, you’ve shattered so many barriers and did it mostly on your own.” A little nudge from Willie Brown, but we all need a leg up, what? 

Joe continued his encomium : “You know, San Francisco, first woman district attorney. California’s first woman attorney general. Doug [that would be Douglas Emhoff, Harris’s husband] you have had such an incredible partner in this historic progress.”

At another recent event, this one celebra — er, commemorating — the thirteenth anniversary of Barack Obama’s partial nationalization of healthcare — Joe beamed: “Kamala, I want to thank you for everything you’ve done to defend this law as vice president.” Some ungrateful wretches wondered exactly what Joe had in mind, since her involvement in that disaster, to the ordinary observer, was non-existent.  

The bottom line is that, even if Kamala Harris is not taking things off the president’s plate, even if she is, according to him, a “work in progress,” she is still the first female person of color in the job, so hurrah!

And, yes, the country’s in the very best of hands:

The money that they taxes us
That’s known as revenue
They compound up collaterals
Subtracts the residue

Don’t worry about the principal
And interest it incrues
They’re shipping all that stuff to foreign lands
The country’s in the very best of hands
