Her relationship may have helped at some point, but she has moved up since that original appointment without Brown's help...
She made several moves with Brown's help. And whatever merits she may have, they're not apparent to me. I'd probably rate her the least appealing candidate in the entire democrat field, although Bernie and Fauxcohontas and Spartacus would give her a run for the money.
All three of those scare me more. Harris seems more of an empty suit, that will do as told. If elected, it effectively would mean President Pelosi-Schumer.
Could be. And I frankly don’t like the idea of President Pelosi-Schumer either. But Harris strikes me as too much of a self-absorbed, egotistical, arrogant witch (feel free to substitute a consonant) to let that happen. Then again, we had a self-absorbed, egotistical, arrogant a-hole in the White House, and his inability to work with others led to very little of his socialist agenda getting passed, so maybe we could get lucky again.

No. Sleeping your way to the top means exchanging sexual favors for advancement. There is every indication that Harris did precisely that. I’m don’t understand what or how a trophy wife can advance you unless her father or mother own the company, and that was clearly not the case.
Neither you nor Tanq nor I has clear insight into the nature of the relationship between Kamala Harris and Willie Brown.
Willie Brown helped to advance the careers of plenty of NoCal politicians in the 1990s.
How many bottom of the rung members of a District Attorney office?
How many of those did he appoint to two statewide commissions?
The answer is exactly one.
That is simply a fact of the public record.
What an amazing coincidence it just happened to be the person he was doing the horizontal tango with.
The facts are clear on that. How do *you* explain them? Some odd cosmic alliance? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Perhaps the age old reason put forward.
I mean you jump out of your suspenders to impute or imply ignorance on the behalf of Trump voters at the drop of a hat, but by god, you come forth as a person scorned about another implication ---- even when that stark and clear implication is fairly black and white and backed by actual facts. Funny guy....
Quote:Presumably not all of these politicians were sleeping with him.
He *was* doing *all* of the junior level deputy District Attorneys that he appointed to *any* statewide commission --- let alone *two* commissions.
Yep, just a happy (hehe) coincidence that the major 'junior lawyer' beneficiary of his largesse was to the one he was in the sack with. Pure coincidence I am sure.
Yes he appointed or had appointed many people. None with this much of a leap between experience and commission resting place. Odd you go amazingly out of your way to scrabble a thin veneer over that point. Or, maybe not.

Yes 93, I am damn fing ignorant as I dont know all the details on his and here relationship. But I am very interested in your call to ignore the fairly straightforward implication of the public record.
