Column By Mike Bibb
I understand the focus on ’28 and all that. But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure like any Vice President of the United States ever was. . . Thousands of people are coming to hear my voice. Thousands and thousands. Every place we’ve gone has been sold out.
— Kamala Harris discussing her place in history and her ‘107 Days’ book tour during a New York Times interview, Dec. 9, 2025.
Well, slap my fanny and yell “Fooled ya again, Mike. You really are dumber than you look!”
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but honestly, I had no idea the former Vice President was so popular, especially considering she failed to ascend to the White House last year, and wasted over a billion dollars trying.
Yet today, she’s insisting thousands and thousands of “people are coming to hear” her voice.
Almost as if she’s “On a mission from God,” to borrow a line from Elwood in the old “Blues Brothers” flick.
Oh, she’s pretty sure a marble bust of her will be placed somewhere in Congress. Because, I suppose, she’s a historic figure and entitled to one.
Guess so, along with all the other former Vice Presidents who were equally historic.
So historic, I imagine 99 out of a 100 people can’t name five — without googling.
However, Kamala is famously associated with one of the worst Presidential administrations in American history. Her lackluster performance as Vice President was only overshadowed by Joe’s even worse deficiency of significant accomplishments.
Don’t believe there’s any doubt about it. 99 out of 100 people wouldn’t have to Google to find out. They’ve lived through the disorder and are still suffering from many of Joe and Kamala’s indiscriminate blunders.
Remember, there’s a reason Democrats decided Joe had to go. He’d screwed-up things so severely, and was — apparently — unaware of what he was doing, that the decision was made by the Democratic National Committee to abruptly pull him from the 2024 Presidential race and quickly insert Kamala to take his place.
Not the best move, but Democrats were desperate, hampered by a short bench, and time was running out. The General Election was only about three months away.
As we’ve witnessed, the Biden Administration was a Lame Duck from the outset, plagued by scandals, controversies, and confusion from the moment Joe was sworn in. It steadily went downhill from there.
Consequently, it seems ridiculous that Kamala is now promoting herself as a sort of Messiah, offering hope for a political party that can’t decide if it wants to drift further left or devolve into full-blown socialism.
Kamala can go either way. After all, she’s a California-trained politician, knows how the game is played, and will do what is necessary to further her ambitions.
She may have spent a billion bucks last year campaigning for a job she didn’t win, but if she tries again in a few years, it may take two billion, or more, to put her over the top.
Much of the money will be for damage control to repair, repudiate, or “reimagine” her past mistakes.
Real sugar (facts) won’t be necessary; artificial sweeteners will do just fine. Besides, most folks won’t be able to tell the difference once it’s all mixed.
This appears to be the underlying reason for her book tour and “I’m a historical figure” comment.
A not-so-subtle hint that while she’s said the Presidency is a distant thought, her body language indicates otherwise.
Remains to be seen if she’s clever enough to complete the illusion or, as before, gets tripped up in a web of her own making.
Sometimes, you have to shake your head and convince a confused conscience it’s better to chuckle than cry — even when crying seems more appropriate.
