On schools, Kamala Harris does a perfect Irwin Corey imitation -

  American Thinker  "Americans need to get their kids back in school. Where there are powerful teachers’ unions, though, the teachers have discovered the joys of a bunny slipper commute, a minimal workday, and a full paycheck. When NBC’s Savannah Guthrie pressed Kamala Harris on the new administration’s plan to restart classroom learning, Harris replied with non-responsive, meaningless, double talk. Had she been auditioning for an Irwin Corey homage, it would have impressive. As it was, it showed both an administration and a vice president that are incompetent." . . .

. . . The Biden administration is changing its story on an almost daily basis when it comes to schools reopening. It’s so bad that even the Associated Press has taken notice:

President Joe Biden is in a political firestorm over how and when to get more schools open amid the coronavirus pandemic, with Republicans seizing on confusion surrounding Biden’s goal to reopen a majority of schools within his first 100 days to paint the president as beholden to teachers’ unions at the expense of American families.

His administration in recent weeks has sent muddled and at times contradictory messages about Biden’s goal. On Tuesday night, the president said his 100-day goal was to have most elementary schools open five days a week, seeming to conflict with his own press secretary, who had said last week that schools would be considered “open” if they held in-person classes even one day a week.

"On Wednesday, Kamala Harris appeared on NBC’s Today Show with Savannah Guthrie and succeeded in making things worse. That’s where Irwin Corey comes in. He was a comedian whose shtick was to pose as an expert who would then inundate people with a meaningless wall of words:" . . .

"Faced with Guthrie’s probing questions, Kamala spouted streams of pointless platitudes that would have made Irwin Corey proud.

"When Guthrie noted that the CDC has tied school openings to a county’s infection rate, creating a scenario in which 90% of schools cannot open, Kamala blathered about how everyone wants schools to open. Guthrie pressed on, trying to get a statement about the CDC guidelines, especially when contrasted with the CDC’s admission that schools are safe for both students and teachers. Kamala again produced a torrent of words about wanting schools to open." . . .
