Ooh-la-la!, oui, oui! Kamala Harris has finally gone to Europe — and at taxpayers’ expense. Yet despite CNN’s glowing description of the “chumming chemistry” between the vice president and France’s President Emmanuel Macron that “signaled a relationship back on track” after the canceled submarine contract crisis, the meeting did little by way of burnishing the vice president’s image.
Of course, nobody who has seen Kamala hovering behind the president like a straddle-legged, uniformed prison guard would expect her to sweep onto the continental scene with the same panache as, say, a Jackie Kennedy or Princess Di — and certainly not swathed in the same head-turning, headlining haute couture. Nor does Kamala, pantsuits notwithstanding, generate the same interest as someone like Hillary Clinton.
Perhaps the intention of her boringly severe tailored “look” is to make her appear to be a no-nonsense woman of business. The only problem is that thus far, Kamala has come across as all nonsense and very little business. As for the outcome of the Paris meeting, Harris summed it up eloquently by saying, “We have a lot of follow-up stuff.”..
