What if they asked a question and nobody cared?

Surely acting from mere idle curiosity, Stephen Green asks, “Has anyone seen Kamala?”

On the rare occasions that Harris does make the news, it’s for all the wrong reasons, like when she unleashes her Kraken cackle when asked even mildly challenging questions.

The rest of the time the bootlicking media is happy to keep Vice President AWOL under wraps because what else are they going to do?

It’s been a long way down for the woman once touted by her own boss as one-half of the “Biden-Harris Administration.”

Over the weekend the UK-based Telegraph described Harris as “perhaps the most low-profile individual to hold the post since the gaffe-prone Dan Quayle was kept out of the limelight to spare the first George Bush’s blushes.”

Curt Mills pointed out for the American Conservative on Monday that Harris “stands at Cheney-like notoriety, a 27.8 percent approval rating,” and I’d add that Harris can’t muster even 30% favorability when she’s out of the spotlight.

I’d pondered previously on this page if White House distrust of Harris was the reason she’d been assigned to “fix” the border crisis because it was a crap assignment on multiple levels.

The first level is that with Democrats in charge, there is no fixing the border crisis.

The second level is that, politically, the border was a lose-lose proposition for Harris. If she made progress, that would annoy her “woke” and “progressive” base. If she failed, she would make no friends with the moderates she might need in the future to further her presidential ambitions.

The third level is that the White House doesn’t actually want to solve the border crisis, they want to make it worse. So why not make the unloved, untrusted Harris the face of failure?

How does a Veep turn things around when the more people see her, the less they like her?

The solution seems to be to keep her looking busy doing things that A) no one cares about and B) not even Harris could screw up (probably, maybe).
