Being There is a 1979 comedy starring Peter Sellers. Sellers plays a simpleton Washington, D.C., gardener named Chance. Chance is thick as a brick. Through a series of chance events, coupled with Chance uttering platitudes and silly-speak, Chance is taken and mistaken as a deep-thinking political scholar. D.C. insiders and politicians are so taken with Chance’s nonsense that he becomes a rising political star.

By the end of the movie, Chance is seen as next in line for the presidency. But Chance isn’t smart, or good at anything. Chance is an idiot, who is elevated to a position he is wholly unqualified for – next in line for the presidency.

Here is one of Chance’s political ‘insights’

“In the garden, growth has its seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then get spring and summer again.”

The D.C. insiders take Chance’s nonsense as brilliant allegoric commentary on politics. The audience knows that Chance is an idiot — the joke’s on the politicians who think he’s really an oracle.

Harris’ poll numbers are lower than Biden’s, and Biden’s numbers, are a disaster. A few days ago, she sat for an interview by NBC. She was asked questions slightly harder than “what’s your favorite ice cream.” She was asked about changing course, doing something different. The camera turned to Harris. Harris looked like Bambi in the headlights, and her well-practiced, whiny voice said the following:
