I guess there are still a few of us old codgers around who remember the hit by Herman’s Hermits, “I’m Henry the 8th, I am.” I’m not all that keen on things that repeat, but this one was really pretty good and a little thoughtful. If you have never heard it, you need to. It’s easy to look it up on the web and it is guaranteed to bring a smile. However, it is repetitious. Indeed, somewhere in the middle of it, the guy says, “Second verse; same as the first.”

As I look at Kamala’s basement campaign, it did remind me of the song. For sure, her campaign is “Same as the First.” There is, of course, one big difference. She really has no reason to hide other than the fear of saying something she would like to take back. With her, there is a real reason for her to fear. She has been known to say some very dumb things. However, there is no virus to be hiding from, just reporters.

Even worse, she has some real things she really needs to defend, which she said in the past.

It does make me wonder. Do you suppose we will ever get a third verse, maybe different than the first and second?
