Kamala Hahaharris busts a gut when asked about Afghanistan

To her credit, Vice President Kamala Hahaharris is able to find even the most concerning things in life something we can all laugh at. Nothing should be seen as so serious that we can't enjoy the humor in it, even when it comes

to the Afghanistan crisis. And kudos to her that she is able to focus on what she sees as important, her visiting Vietnam and other parts of Southeast Asia, rather than wasting her attention on people being abused, trampled to death, murdered by the Taliban, and young men falling to their deaths out of jet plane wheel wells trying to escape the terrorists of the Taliban. It takes a special kind of leader to be able to look the other way and get on with her business.

Harris was criticized Sunday after responding with laughter to a recent question about the Afghan crisis. Why so upset with our first woman of color vice president? C'mon, man--girls just wanna have fuh-un. Yes, girls just wanna have fun.

In the middle of her guffawing, Harris said the Biden administration "couldn't have a higher priority right now."

Which is why Biden would rather talk about Covid instead of Afghanistan.

After embarking on her Southeast Asia tour, Harris addressed a gaggle of reporters on the airport tarmac, cutting off a reporter who began to ask her about the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan.

"What's your response to reports of Americans—" the reporter began, as the sound of jet engines roared on the tarmac.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on," Harris said, cutting off the reporter. "Slow down, everybody," she added, as she let out a big, inappropriate laugh and a silent passage of gas that only dogs could hear due to her constricted buttocks.

"I want to talk about two things. First, Afghanistan— We couldn't have a higher priority right now," Harris said after her laughter faded away and she had to play the serious role. "And in particular high priority is making sure that we safely evacuate American citizens," she said through her nostrils." Afghans who worked with us, Afghans at risk, including women and children, and that is one of our highest if not the highest priority right now."

But she still went ahead with her planned trip to Southeast Asia on Sunday.

The reporter never actually finished her question but that was no concern of Harris since she spent all the previous night memorizing the answer to any question that would be asked. Not surprisingly, Harris never did get to talk about the second thing she mentioned.

Critics of Harris just don't get her. 

Sure, she laughs inappropriately very often. Sure, her priorities don't match her words. Sure, she was the worst presidential candidate in the history of the world and was the first to drop out of the presidential race. Sure, she made her way up the political latter by sleeping with Willie Brown and being born brown as well. Sure she lied to get ahead "but it was a debate . . . a debate."

But you gotta give her credit for getting as far as she did with as little talent as she has.

And don't get me started about the other joker.
