Kamala
Harris Around the World
Vice-President Kamala Harris
famously channeled her inner Pepé Le Pew when speaking to French scientists recently while on a visit to a COVID-19
lab at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. She shamelessly attempted to ingratiate
herself with her French audience by stating, “One of the things people in
politics and government should really take from the approach of scientists —
scientists operate with a hypothesis. I love that.” Well, who doesn’t like a
good hypothesis now and then?
But then Harris said that, by
contrast, politicians tend to stay with “de plan” no matter what. She
repeated “de plan,” sounding more like Tattoo on “The Love Boat” than a
French scientist investigating COVID-19. Pathetic.
My hypothesis is that Harris is
so devoid of originality, such an empty suit, that she would continue her
charade anywhere she gets sent. Which might explain why she is being sent so
few places.
That said, let’s imagine what
she might utter in various places at various times.
*Vice-President Kamala Harris while
at a restaurant in Italy, ostensibly to discuss the effects of lockdowns on
eating establishments, after taking a bite of the local fare: “Mama Mia, dat’s
a spicy meat-a-ball, no? But notta so hard to digest as a having to close your ‘ristorante’
I bet, heh, heh.”
*In Israel (with Yarmulke on her head), addressing that nation’s restaurant
owners: “Who doesn’t love Matzah balls, except maybe goyim? Am I right or am I
right, my mensch?”
*In Germany, at an Octoberfest
celebration: “Du are alles bier lovers, ja? And du like polka music, richtig?
And probably martial music, too, ja? Heh, heh.”
*In Canada, for Boxing Day
celebrations: “So, like, how’s it going, eh? It’s kinda cold up here in the
Great White North, eh? But you guys don’t seem to mind it, eh? I mean, you’ve
got your ice-‘hokey’ and your back-bacon and your Molson, eh? I’ve got nothing agāinst
that, eh? And I guess you guys like boxing, too, since you set aside a day to
celebrate it, eh?”
*In Kentucky for the Kentucky Derby:
“How are ‘ya’all’ doin’ here in ‘Canetuck?’ You folks love horses
like Donald Trump loves conspiracy theories, right, heh, heh, heh?!”
*In Wisconsin, at a Green Bay Packers
game: “Hi fellow cheese-heads. Get yer deer yet? That Aaron Rogers, he is ‘something’!
But you know I love me some ‘Spotted Cow!’”
*In Japan for Coming-of-Age Day (squints
eyes and bows down slightly, while placing hands together and smiling
inscrutably at her interlocutors): “Oh, ahso, how are you today…”
