Book: Biden's (Female) Communications Director Suggested a Scandalous Theory: Maybe the Person Failing to Position Kamala Harris for Success Is...
(wait for it...)
... Kamala Harris Herself!

PLOT TWIST!

Holy crap, this is like the end of The Usual Suspects! My sense of reality is dissolving and I don't know what to believe any longer!

The book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future," from Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns, specifically reveals Harris's concerns with her portfolio, according to excerpts obtained by Politico.

"Portfolio" is political jargon for the issues a politician is responsible for.

We've heard and heard and heard and heard some more about Kamala Harris complaining about her "portfolio," claiming, always, that Biden and his White People Aides are Failing to Position Kamala Harris for Success by assigning her no-win assignments.

To be honest -- a lot of that is... True!

As Dana Perino noted on The Five, Kamala Harris cannot do anything to fix the border security crisis because, get this, Biden does not want to fix the border security problem.

Still, the Vice Presidency has always been "not worth a bucket of warm spit," as John Nance Gardner observed.

The Vice President's only real job is to not inflict damage on the Administration -- something Kamala Harris fails at a daily. (Something that Joe Biden himself, as Vice President, failed at so often that Obama said of him, "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up.")

But Biden's white communications director thinks that maybe the problem isn't Kamala Harris' portfolio, but Kamala Harris' laziness.

Kate Bedingfield, Biden's communications director, blamed the tension on Harris directly, according to the book.

"In private, Bedingfield had taken to noting that the vice presidency was not the first time in Harris's political career that she had fallen short of sky-high expectations: Her Senate office had been messy and her presidential campaign had been a fiasco. Perhaps, she suggested, the problem was not the vice president's staff," the book says, per Politico.

Perhaps. Perhaps.

Bedingfield denies the quote, which is certainly a lie.

"Vice President Harris is a force in this administration and I have the utmost respect for the work she does every day to move the country forward," she added.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

"A force"? Might as well have just added the /sarc closing tag after writing this.

The book also claims that Jill Biden -- excuse me, Doctor Jill Biden -- never liked the choice of Harris as VP.

Not because she's a lightweight incompetent who has failed in every political position she's ever been gifted.

But because she said Joe Biden was a racist.

"Speaking in confidence with a close adviser to her husband's campaign, the future first lady posed a pointed question. There are millions of people in the United States, she began. Why, she asked, do we have to choose the one who attacked Joe?"

Come on, Doctor Jill -- that was just a debate!

Someone failed to position Kamala Harris for success in answering that very obvious question.

I wonder who it could have been...
