Hillary, Kamala and Kathy serve up gibberish as female victims of crime cry for help

The word-salad bar is now open.

That is, Vice President Kamala Harris will be stopping off in the Big Apple Thursday to help drag Kathy Hochul’s stumbling campaign toward the finish line — and, oh, the possibilities are limitless.

Harris, an Olympics-grade master of fractured ditz-speak, will join Hochul, Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Letitia James at Manhattan’s Barnard College to gang up on Republican Lee Zeldin five days before Election Day.

The rally, naturally enough, is aimed at women — and why not? Three of New York’s six state-wide office holders are women, and a woman selected one of the men. This reflects the powerful presence of women at the polls and in public life here — which in turn speaks eloquently to how politics has changed in the Empire State in recent years.

Actual eloquence, on the other hand, will be in short supply at Barnard. New York, once ground zero for compelling political oratory, has been bereft since Mario Cuomo left the stage in 1994.

Harris, of course, is in a class by herself. An example of her stump speech, from a year ago: “We must together. Work together. To see where we are. Where we are headed, where we are going and our vision for where we should be. But also see it as a moment to, yes, together, address the challenges and to work on the opportunities that are presented by this moment.”

And so it goes. It’s deliciously mockable, for sure — but it’s also revealing: Kathy Hochul thinks that a woman who speaks fluent gibberish has something important to say to New Yorkers beset by crime, inflation and related social instability — and that’s just insulting.
