Ladies and Gentlemen (and others), we have entered a new era of Democratic tomfoolery, one which eclipses all the artifice and dishonesty of the past four years, wherein we are instructed to forget every criticism and witticism made at her expense and embrace Kamala Harris as a brilliant, articulate, and profound leader who shall shepherd us to that "shining city on a hill" promised so many years ago.
Originally applied to the city of Boston by early 17th century Puritans, the phrase took on broader meaning among politicians as a synonym for exceptionalism after President Ronald Reagan used it in a 1976 address, deeming America as a beacon of hope for the whole world.
All I have to say about that 48 years later is, "Ha!" To quote Donald Trump in his acceptance speech at the recent Republican National Convention, "Democrats would vote for a mannequin* or a dead man" if that's who the party nominated. While Biden was the latter, Kamala Harris is surely the former.
So get ready for her coronation, and try to keep a straight face. After all, if she wins she would be the first female president, not to mention female of color. There's at least one good thing about the whole tawdry affair: it must be killing Hillary.
