Paul Krugman linked to this one-minute clip of Fox News blabaholic Jesse Watters taking his best shots (?) at Kamala Harris. The Times columnist liked it because, according to the host, voters should, as Krugman jokes, "dislike" Kamala since "she likes wine, she likes food, she likes to dance"? Well, yes, that and everyone on her (unspecified) staff "hated" her and "wanted to leave," as demonstrated by "her 92% turnover," added Watters. I've not done the numbers but my guess is that Kamala's turnover rate was lower than Trump's in a White House that soon became populated by Trump haters who couldn't wait to leave.
One other thing, said Watters: "She's just not at the level of what you'd think would be a president."
Evidently, Mr. Watters' idea of a president is a 1950s-coifed buffoon who sits and sends malevolent "tweets" much of the day, that is, when he's not watching television or throwing ketchup-smeared plates at it.
Watters' ideal president is also someone who needs a chief of staff to explain, for instance, what Pearl Harbor was about — or, maybe, the kind of guy who never will comprehend that nations exporting goods into the United States don't pay the tariff, or, perhaps a magical kind of guy who can change actual hurricane patterns with no more than a map and a Sharpie.
Oh dear, one could go on, and on, well into a dark infinity where even the worst angels of our nature fear to tread.
He says she's the "typical" woman who talks behind people's backs while he's talking crap about her behind her back. I think he's also the same idiot who said that if a man votes for a woman he will transition into a woman.
It's a typical "consider the source" situation. And if he wants to pin women as the only people who talk behind other people's backs, then I suppose he must have voted for a woman once and the transition is beginning.
