Brutal Truth

 This past week, Peggy Noonan wrote up a commentary piece on VP Harris.  Basically, the sum up the 'advice'.....she told Harris that she was marginally prepared for the job.....had no true interest in learning enough to fill the VP/President job....and 'sloughing-off' (my term) the whole whole purpose of her existence.

Yeah....it was awful brutal, and if Harris was reading it....I'm sure she's peeved to the ninth-degree.

Harris reminds me of the overly-talked-about brilliant third-baseman for some major league baseball team....who never shows up to practice....rarely jogs around the field...does various interviews but talking at the level a 4th-grade kid, and expecting no judgement to occur.

In a company like Amazon, Shell, or Ford.....she would have been dismissed by the end of twelve months.  

Various people have talked about how she moved up the chain in California....that lusty situations might have been 50-percent of the upward movement, and that her sex/ethnic make-up was the other 50-percent.

Why Joe Biden might be peeved over her?  After she arrives in x-number of meetings and offers 5th-grader advice when asked for an opinion.....after a while, Joe might have said 'enough' and just shut down asking questions to her.

I worked at a base once where the vice-wing commander had been 'dumped' upon the wing commander.  The vice was mostly a guy who golfed three times a week....showed almost no talent at leadership.....and hadn't done anything noteworthily the last five years of his career.  The deal was....the wing commander had to accept the guy, and allow him to shuffle around for three years before the vice retired.  After the wing commander left....the next guy fell into the same deal.  The vice wasn't an idiot, but he had no real enthusiasm for anything other than social occasions, golf, or skeet-shooting.  

How Harris survives the remaining three years?  That's really the question left to ponder upon.

Either she improves her 'game'.....brings in some person to teach how her to lead/manage....or just quietly disappears each Friday at noon....to mostly drink all weekend and 'couch' herself through a mess.  The odds of alcoholism or gaining 30 pounds more?  Better than 50-percent chance.    

The idea that Joe Biden retires early or resigns because of dementia?  Well....once you figure out the nature of Harris.....you'd probably reach some conclusion it's better to have a demented Joe around....than some no-talent-pretender President.  

Sad if you really ponder upon this.
