Political Irony

This Tuesday night is the Vice Presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz.

As I’m sure all of you know, FDR’s vice president John Nance Garner described the vice presidency as being “not worth a bucket of warm piss”. Luckily, Walz has already helped the prospects of Kamala Harris by creating the meme about Trump and Vance being “weird”, which flummoxed the Republicans.

In addition, the Los Angeles Times says, “the modern history of vice presidential debates is notably lacking in both gravity and moments of true political significance. In fact, since the first match-up of presidential understudies nearly 50 years ago, precisely zero have made a shred of difference in the race for the White House.”

I still haven’t decided whether I can put up with listening to Vance, but my guess is I might tune in, but will reserve the right to turn it off at any time.
