Well, this is an innovative manner of conducting diplomacy.
Vice President Kamala Harris affected a slight accent this week during her overseas trip in France, hitting her syllables at weird moments and cutting short certain words. It sounded like a poor man’s attempt at imitating Jacques Cousteau.
“With us in government,” the vice president said during a brief address at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, “We campaign with de plan! Uppercase ‘T,’ uppercase ‘P.’ The plan! And then the environment is such that we’re expected to defend de plan, even when the first time we roll it out there may be some glitches, and it’s time to reevaluate it and then do it again.”
Hohn! Hohn! Hohn!
This should help things, having the U.S. vice president do her best Herve Villechaize impersonation at a time when the French government is still bitter about being excluded from Washington’s secretive nuclear technology pact with the U.K. and Australia.
Remember: Harris was tasked specifically with smoothing things over with the French government following the nuclear deal mess. It’s unclear whether her weird accent is part of de plan.

Madam vice president, I am begging you, with tears in my eyes, to act normal for just five minutes. I never thought I’d prefer Harris’s uncomfortable, inappropriate laugh. But here we are.
There’s a reason she polls at only 28% with voters. I don’t think it’s racism or sexism, contrary to the assurances of Jimmy “Girls on Trampolines” Kimmel.
