SUBJECT: Operation Laugh Track Leadership
Team,
As you are aware, the Vice President’s laugh has become a significant part of her public image. Recent feedback suggests it’s both a strength and, well, a point of confusion. To capitalize on its unique resonance (and decibels), we’re launching “Operation Laugh Track Leadership” to harness this powerful tool for maximum political advantage.
Here’s the breakdown:
1. Laugh Calibration Training
Schedule daily 15-minute sessions with the “Tone & Timing” coach to refine:
Level 1: Diplomatic Chuckle (e.g., foreign dignitaries discussing trade deals).
Level 2: Rally Cackle (designed to energize supporters).
Level 3: Defensive Guffaw (to deflect tricky press questions).
Prohibited Levels:
“Coffee-Snort” (last heard during the infrastructure joke in June, NOT a good look).
“Full Joker” (we cannot afford another meme spiral).
2. Public Events: Laugh PlacementStrategically timed laughs should:
Soften hard policy discussions (e.g., “affordable housing is no joke, but…”).
Humanize complex topics (e.g., “clean energy
more like CLEAN laughter, am I right?”).
Staff Reminder: No laughing during national security briefings. Ever.
3. TikTok Initiative: #LaughWithKamalaWe’re launching a TikTok challenge to humanize the VP’s laugh. Potential influencers include:
Comedians: For “best imitation” competitions.
Gen Z creators: Remixing laughs into trending songs.
4. Emergency Laughter Protocols
In the event of an “uncontrollable laugh spiral”:
Cue staff to “accidentally” drop briefing papers.
Trigger music playback (“Hail to the Chief” works best).
5. New Merchandise Line
Launch “Kamala Cackles” plush toys: Squeeze the hand, hear a laugh.
Slogan suggestion: “Bringing policy
and punchlines to every home!”
Closing Thoughts:
Remember, the VP’s laugh isn’t just an expression; it’s an opportunity. Let’s ensure we turn every giggle into goodwill and every chuckle into votes.
