Kamala Harris taking a little heat in New York City for declining an invitation to attend the annual Al Smith dinner.  That's the fat cat Catholic fundraiser designed to bring both political parties into a lavish room in order to gently mock them.

Mr. Smith was the first Roman Catholic to secure a presidential nomination.  That was back in 1928.  Old Al got waxed by Herbert Hoover and was lucky to lose. The Great Depression dropped on Hoover's head the next year.
