Kamala Harris is the Chauncey Gardiner of 2024

The more Kamala Harris speaks, the more she reminds me of Chauncey Gardiner, the lead character in the movie “Being There.”

This is one summary of “Being There”

After the death of his employer forces him out of the only home he’s ever known, a simpleminded, sheltered gardener becomes an unlikely trusted advisor to a powerful tycoon and an insider in Washington politics.

Harris, like Gardiner, rose to where she is largely by an odd set of circumstances. Harris and Gardiner are equally quotable.

Here are a few quotes to for you to think about:

  • “In the garden, growth has its seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.”
  • “You know, every election cycle we talk about this is the most election of our lifetime.”
  • “As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.”
  • “What can be, unburdened by what has been”

  • “This is just like television, only you can see much further.”
  • “Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy Space Center. They suited up. They waved to their families, and they rode an elevator up nearly 20 stories. They strapped into their seats and waited as the tanks beneath filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel. And then they launched. Yeah, they did,”
  • ‘It’s time for us to do what we have been doing, and that time is every day’
  • “Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger country.”

Some of those quotes are from the movie “Being There” with Peter Sellers portraying Chauncey Gardiner. You have to admit that they all sound like they could have been uttered by Kamala Harris, as vacuous as she is. And yet in some ways, she also seems like a real-life Frank Underwood.

Underwood has come into office without a single vote cast for him, he’s tarnished by political scandal from the previous administration and he has a whole host of worries at his feet, Willimon says.

But Frank Underwood was smart.  He could speak without sounding like an airhead. Harris, as did Frank Underwood, finds herself at the political pinnacle without a real vote. She was nominated to the position of VP but escaped any primary efforts once Joe Biden was deposed. It was the primary ritual that saw Harris’s early elimination as a candidate as even the American left recognized her substitution of dilettantism for intellect.

She continues to dodge the press as thinking is her greatest weakness. That vacuousness was on full display when Harris sat down with Oprah for another hard-hitting interview.

“What is on your heart” asked Oprah.  That really drills down to why Harris should be elected President. But there was this simply outstanding stream of consciousness.

Which prompted this response from a foreign visitor:

Ada nailed it. Word Salad.

Here is Kamala answering a question about how she will lower the cost of living:

 

The Question is…”We’d really love to know what your plan is to lower the cost of living?”

THIS is why Harris is being sequestered from the press. This is why she is not allowed near a live microphone unless it’s a rally and there’s a teleprompter.

When asked by Jake Tapper about the lack of interviews Kamala Senior Adviser and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said this:

 

Then Bret Stephens tried asking Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC why Harris doesn’t do interviews. Via Eric Abbenante:

Bret Stephens asks Stephanie Ruhle why Kamala Harris has not done interviews and stated clearly what her policy positions are. Ruhle responds that ‘We don’t live in Nirvana’:

Bret Stephens: “I’m an undecided voter. I’m not sure I want to vote for Kamala. My fear is that she doesn’t really have a very good command of what she wants to do as president. It would be great for her to sit down with you, or George Stephanopoulos, or you Stephanie. It’s not too much to ask Kamala ‘Are you for a Palestinian state, if Hamas is going to run that state?'”

Stephanie Ruhle: “If you don’t like her answer, are you going to vote for Trump? Kamala Harris is not running for perfect, she is running against Trump. We have two choices. There are some things that you might not know her answer too. In 2024, we know exactly what Trump will do, who he is, and the kind of threat he is to democracy.”

Bret Stephens: “The problem that a lot of people have with Kamala is that we don’t know her answer to anything.” Ruhle: “But you know his answer to everything.”

Stephens: “People also are expected to have some idea of what the program that you’re supposed to vote for. I don’t think it’s a lot to ask for her to sit down for a real interview.”

Ruhle: “When you move to Nirvana, I’ll be your next door neighbor. We don’t live there.”

Stephanie Ruhle thinks it’s ‘utopian’ to demand Kamala Harris go through the process that every other candidate for president has gone through, a public vetting process.

I will keep saying this- Kamal Harris is an airhead. She fares poorly when all conditions are not tightly controlled in her favor. She would be completely hopeless facing off with Putin, Xi, or Iran and all three have endorsed her for a reason.  Joy is great but it solves nothing of the world’s problem. Events like an Oprah’s could not have been made any more tailor-made for Harris than it was, and she can’t even handle them without her trademark vapid pomposity. And that audience was clapping like trained seals once the word salad was served.

It’s a bit distressing seeing women so enthralled by driveling, meaningless logorrhea uttered by the 2024 version of Chauncey Gardiner. Harris is a perfect fit for The View.

I viewed Obama as Chauncey Gardener as well, in that no matter what he said, the media and followers fawned over it and assigned the most profound meaning and inspiration to it. But Kamala… she’s a special kind of stupid. She is, apparently, completely ashamed and embarrassed about her positions, or she isn’t aware of them. OR, she doesn’t want the people to know what she has in store for them. Regardless, we have a contest between a man that PROVED himself a true Presidential leader and a woman that was never voted for but has been installed that has PROVED herself an utter incompetent and, worse, someone totally unwilling to adapt to the conditions of the times.

She is nothing but a media product.
