Vice President Kamala Harris has "rabbit ears" for criticism, which are a source of frustration in President Biden's West Wing, according to a new book.
According to journalist Franklin Foer's forthcoming book "The Last Politician," Harris' purported insecurity about how she was perceived led some colleagues to compare her to large-eared varmints.
"Harris possessed what one of her colleagues described as ‘rabbit ears,’" Foer wrote. "Whenever there was a hint of criticism of her - either in the West Wing or in the press - she seemed instantly aware of it."
"Rather than brushing it aside, she wanted to know who was speaking ill of her and what they were saying," Foer wrote, noting that when Harris "read a devastating story" on a news website "about her mismanagement of her team," the vice president "responded by briefly freezing out an aide whom she suspected of cooperating with reporters."
"She let the criticism guide her," he added. "Instead of diligently sticking to the Central America assignment, she seemed to accept the conventional wisdom about it. It was a futile gig, so she let it fall to the side, missing an opportunity to grind her way to a meaningful achievement."
In the same chapter, Foer wrote that while President Biden "treated [Harris] with impeccable respect, he simply didn't hand her the substantive role that he played in the Obama administration."
Foer wrote that Biden "had helped plug the gaps in Obama's resume" but that the president "didn't need Harris in the same way Obama needed Biden."

Oh, amen, FRiend. We got ‘em by the bushel: insufferably self-righteous, entitled, mean as snakes, dumb as posts. For other examples see Pelosi, N. et al. The Legislature is absolutely overflowing with the
That said “has rabbit ears”? Really? who uses that metaphor? Sounds like someone as dumb as she is
If she blew a few more influential people she wouldn’t be second fiddle to this cadaver and wouldn’t be so insecure about her position.
She has to have some idea of how inadequate she is.
“Heels Up” Harris has Rabbit Ears ‘cause she acts just like a rabbit.

Rabbit ears as used in this instance is a baseball term from way back.(TVs from another era had rabbit ears as well)
If a player reacted to fans or other players who were razzing him, he got labeled as having rabbit ears.
Not sure when it was first used and entered our language, but the National League was created in 1876.
If it’s a trite and defunct cliche, the unnamed source must be Biden himself, Jack
Kamala toe Harris.
I wonder if Willie Brown is a FReeper?

She gets those rabbit haunches tucked behind those rabbit ears pretty well too. Or at least she did in her younger years.
.
She’s a complete idiot whose whole life is racial grievance.
Even though her family were Slave Owners.
Her level of intelligence indicates she should be working at a bowling alley.
The Central American assignment was a “futile gig.” The US is a rich country with generous benefits. Open the borders and people will come. That’s the root cause and there wasn’t anything Harris could do about it.
‘Cavendish’ banana plants and ‘Arabica’ coffee plants are facing big disease issues.
“The Costa Rican’s have begun an initial counter measure. They are now introducing a new strain of coffee called the ‘Obata’ from Brazil. The Obata appears resistant to the coffee rust disease but is not quite as rich as the Arabica.”

Do you really think she could get the hang of setting the pins correctly? Even with marks on the floor?
Knowing her history, I’m surprised Hunter hasn’t hit on her.
So what would or could Harris do about that?
And how many people are coming here because of that?
IIRC, “having rabbit ears” is a term from baseball where if a fan is saying something bad about a player on the field, the player homes in on the fan right away like how ears on a rabbit.
Her ears are hand grips.
Being dumb and insecure is a real b!t<#.
Girl would need ears the size of wind turbines to catch all of the criticism.
