Kamala
Harris, Mike Pence
This time, I'm only going to comment about the top of the two
major tickets: Joe Biden, the Democrat party candidate for President and
Kamala* Harris for Vice President vs. Republican party candidates, Donald
Trump for President and What's His Name (the little guy with white hair who
has to keep maneuvering in the background so that his relentless smile can
be seen by the audience.)
John "Cactus Jack" Garner, President Franklin D, Roosevelt's
first choice to run with him on the Democrat ticket, once said that the
office of Vice President was worth less than a bucket full of warm spit.
(Texans insist that Garner actually said "boot" and not "bucket"). In
any event, FDR kept Ex-Congressman Garner from attending any subsequent
press briefings and our only four-term President (he died suddenly while
serving in the fourth term) asked other politicians to join him at the top
of the ticket from then on.
*(I tuned in Fox News last week to hear a talking head taking a
drubbing from a Democrat party press person for having pronounced former
California Attorney General Harris's first name as Kuh'-Mella. She
instructs her family to refer to her as "La Mamala." Remember this and you
will be prompted to say it correctly.)
I can appreciate people having problems with their names.
I have to constantly inform clerks that I am a "One L. Philip." (My research
indicates that half who bear this given name spell it PHILLIP.) My
father insisted that I could blame the problem on the longtime makers of
"Milk of Magnesia."
