Former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris boasted that she’s a “historic figure” who will have “a marble bust” of herself sitting in the Capitol during an interview for a not-entirely-flattering New York Times profile.
According to Shane Goldmacher, “Ms. Harris is busy selling books — a lot of them. She is not yet selling herself. Old advisers, both allied and estranged, have squinted from afar at her book tour, wondering what exactly her strategy is, or if there is any at all.”
“She has done little to distance herself from former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. besides admitting aloud that it was ‘recklessness’ on her part not to have discouraged him from running again. There has been virtually none of the strategic repackaging that a future candidate typically does, the buffing out of flaws and shining up of strengths,” wrote Goldmacher, who continued:
Ms. Harris has made clear she doesn’t “feel burdened” — yes, she still uses that phrase — by where she fits in the punditry pecking order or the polls or the cable chyrons. She is enjoying the freedom from what she calls the “transactional” constrictions of campaigning, of asking people for a vote.
Her place in history is already secure, and she knows it.
“I understand the focus on ’28 and all that,” she said in the interview. “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.”
In other parts of the profile, Goldmacher observed that “in the year since [her loss], she has not capitalized on” the good will that last year’s campaign bought her, and suggested that “she has mostly been a bystander in the Democratic Party’s raging debate over its direction.”

It would be appropriate if the bust included lots of cleavage.
What? Is she running a bookmobile in Escondido or something?
Statues to Kamala float into the sewage treatment plant all day long. I don’t think they are made of marble, but some may have marbled coloration.
hilarious that people look to her for a strategy. the woman chasn’t been able to form even an intelligible sentence for years now. they have a long wait.
She oughta put down the bottle!
I suspect Trump might grant her wish, but she isn’t going to like it..................
Per her husband, she already has a cold hard marble bust. That’s why he prefers the nanny.
I imagine a marble Bust would definitely make her “feel burdened”.
A good back brace would be in order, I think.
Agreed. I was just thinking that Willie Brown liked her bust.
“marble”
I always said she was dumb as a rock.
“Her place in history is already secure, and she knows it.”
Boy, is that ever true. A more unqualified, insubstantial nincompoop would be hard to imagine.
C’mon. They’re bigger than marbles.
I wouldn’t be surprised if leftist college libraries were buying Harris’ book a hundred at a time. Not that anyone wants to read it.
The purchase just makes the librarians feel good. Onward the Revolution, and all that.
Revenge of the Pink Panther scene when Cato has turned Clouseau's home into an expensive house of prostitution.
Clouseau sternly wagging his finger at the woman in a low cut leather outfit:
"And you, too.....You two should be ashamed of yourselves."
Oh I doubt the bust will be sitting, though it will be waist height.
Marble flask maybe.
We can capture the essence of Kamala by placing granite knee-pads with her name in the town square.

Maybe posing with her Hoover award...next to Monica’s...
Da woman has busted marbles..
