New in PJ Media:
Politicians who bend the truth are as old as politics itself, but Kamala Harris bent it well beyond the breaking point on Stephen Colbert’s show Wednesday night when she hailed her chief, Old Joe Biden, as an “extraordinary leader.” As Old Joe himself might say, Come on, man! Would The Cackler now have us believe that the doddering figurehead who shakes hands with the empty air and has to be led around by handlers is any kind of leader at all? Why, yes, of course, she would. The Biden regime said goodbye to reality a long time ago. Rachel Levine is a female admiral? Sam Brinton is sane and competent? Sure, and Joe Biden is FDR.
As Matt Margolis noted, Harris began by saying: “Well, I have the great privilege of serving with Joe Biden,” and just in case anyone wasn’t sure to whom she was referring, our cool and capable vice president helpfully added: “who is the President of the United States.” When Colbert asked her if Old Joe understands what it’s like to be vice president, a strange question in light of the fact that Biden held that position for eight years and was a lot more in command of his mental faculties back then. Kamala answered:
He does. He does. He is — He really is a true partner, and he understands the job, and remember, we came in during the height of the pandemic. And so, so much of the work was about, okay, we’ve got to cover a lot of bases, and let’s figure out how between us how we can do it. But he is, um, an extraordinary leader and I wish that people could see what I see, because, uh, there’s only one person who sits behind that resolute desk. And the decisions that that person has to make are the decisions that nobody else in the country can make. And he’s an extraordinary leader. He really is.
Colbert’s far-Left audience ate this up, applauding wildly. Do they really think Old Joe is an extraordinary leader? Or did the applause sign light up and so they did what they were told? Harris, meanwhile, displayed some strange body language while saying all this, looking away from Colbert several times and repeatedly shaking her head (which is often the “no” signal, kids) as she sang her putative boss’ praises. I wouldn’t have been surprised if she had started blinking out the Morse Code for “TORTURE,” as U.S. Navy Commander Jeremiah Denton did when making a propaganda film for his North Vietnamese captors as a prisoner of war in 1966.
There is more. Read the rest here.

He is! He’s so brilliant that he made her his VP, and let her prove to be such a disaster that everybody who hates him is praying that he lasts his entire term so that she doesn’t get to be president
The priceless moment in this interview was Colbert’s asking him what her job was, and she responding w/ her signature cackle before summarizing her recent activities, rather than what she’s supposed to do
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Just wondering what “heels-up” Harris would do as POTUS that would be worse than what Creepy Joe is already doing?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
What BJ Clinton used to do? Given her record as AG of California, I’d dread to see her as the chief law enforcement officer of the US
James Lincoln says
Good point, Infidel.

I saw that clip, I can’t stomach Colbert for more than a few seconds, but I noticed Kamala didn’t say Biden was good at his job of POTUS. Extraordinary can cover a wide range of transgressions.
I’m a pretty old fart and in my lifetime, that word, applied to the mess of the past 2+ years, fits Biden better than any American President I can recall.
Westman says
Harris seems to be a stellar example that a person can go quite far in society with a great memory while lacking critical, logical thinking. We should have no doubt that she believes President Biden is an, “extraordinary leader”, because he makes decisions and policies that don’t readily occur to her while having no doubts about his aggressive necrotic decisions.
It should be obvious that Harris is not a leader, rather, a follower of those who make the “magical” decisions. Followers are usually unimaginative, fearful, or just content to let others do the planning and take the larger risks. It’s no accident that the world is endowed with employers and employees, or, commissioned officers and non-comissioned soldiers.

For Harris to say that Biden is an “extraordinary leader” is only what you would expect her to say. She could not be expected to tell the truth and say that, well, he’s pretty bloody hopeless. Also, as she seems to be such a fool herself, who sounds like a teacher talking to very young children most of the time, maybe Biden does seem to be fantastic to a fool such as she is. Biden is “extraordinary”. There are ordinary leaders, who are competent to a fairly ordinary level, but Biden is extraordinarily incompetent, extraordinarily demented for a political leader and so on. Truly an “extraordinary leader”, surely the most far gone into dementia that the world has seen in action, Definitely an extraordinarily hopeless leader

Joe Biden Is indeed an ‘Extraordinary Leader’ … he is an extraordinarily bad leader.
tgusa says
When you set the bar so low it is on the ground anything can be called extraordinary. Will the dei mob follow him to war cause I want to see that.
