Kamala Harris’ go to Thursday to Stephen Colbert’s “Late Present” was a tremendous reminder of why each of them are failures.
Thoughts you, this marked Harris’ eighth Late Present look — yet another illustration of the futility of doing the identical factor time and again and one way or the other anticipating totally different outcomes.
What made her assume this might assist promote her new e book?
The marquee second was her lack of ability to say who’s main the Democratic Occasion simply now — which was really easy honesty, since neither Dems nor Republicans have clear leaders as of late except it’s a sitting president.
However she couldn’t clarify that straightforward fact, nor did Colbert present any signal of getting it as he pushed for a solution.
Her incoherence was a part of one other traditional Kam efficiency, stuffed with phrase salads and non-answers.
So why did Colbert even convey her on a supposed comedy present?
As a result of he’s adopted many of the late-night crew down the “we have to promote liberal politics” bathroom, after all — internet hosting 176 Dem politicians and one Republican since 2022, and hewing one facet of the aisle each minute in between.
That method earned him cancellation and will properly take out all his friends.
It’s one other puzzle of contemporary life that a lot of the leisure business one way or the other forgot that sanctimoniousness (political or in any other case) is the enemy of humor.
