Noted Wine Enthusiast Goes On Colbert, Sour Grapes Ensue.

<![CDATA[In Vino Veritas - in wine, there is truth. It's not just a funny Latin slogan that can be used to mock former Vice-President Kamala Harris. It appears to be her North Star.At the height of Brat Summer, those magical, glorious six weeks where the Democratic establishment, media and elected, turned on a dime regarding their presentation of the former Democratic nominee for president in 2024, Harris went from being sidelined in the Biden administration because she was a bigger gaffe machine than the President himself. That's saying something. Harris was understood widely to not be quick at all on her feet, and woefully in over her head as a pol. But once Joe Biden announced he was not going to accept the nomination under pressure from Democratic donors, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the narrative around Kamala changed instantly to dozens of columns about her level of bratness, how smart, funny, insightful, polished, and ready she was to do the big job. A year ago yesterday, Inside Hook ran a feature piece on Kamala Harris, the wine afficionado. The article mentions how proud she was to be a member of the Congressional Wine Caucus, her love of hanging out at the Cork Wine Bar in Washington, D.C., and the wineries of which she'd been a member in the past. This was presented as a selling point to how cool Kamala is. She's hip. She's young...er than Joe Biden. She gets it. I'm not here to call for an intervention, nor am I here to say she might have a problem. What I am saying is that people on pure air alone, without any liquid encouragement, don't act this way. ]]>
