No Respect

By Hubie and Bertie

Yes, there was a hit job on Vice President Kamala Harris in The Washington Post yesterday. Take it from us, any story with "some Democrats" in the headline is an instant signal that selected lamebrains in the lefty pundit class have been pitching a negative story for weeks, and the Post finally bit — for clicks and retweets, we can only assume. Such is the state of journalism in 2023 (not good).

Which means that when it came to the Harris "story," we took to heart Charles III's sage advice to son Harry about negative articles in the British tabloids: "Don't read them, darling boy." Still, how the media treat Harris overall burns us.

They lament that she "hasn't done anything" as Vice President — but have they covered her trips, her speeches, her foreign policy chops, her work on Biden's domestic agenda, at all? Nope. And then they complain that she — well, you get the idea. It's a vicious, self-fulfilling circle. And they get to feel superior. But it rightly infuriates the Black women who worked their hearts and guts out for Biden-Harris in 2020.

Now, it's been announced that the Veep will attend Tyre Nichols's funeral tomorrow, at the invitation of Nichols's family. Here's a question for you: Which Vice President prior to Kamala Harris would have been invited? Mike Pence? Dick Cheney? Dan Quayle? (Those guys? Absolutely not. But Joe Biden? Yep.) We cats HISS.
