It's a good satire of how she's much less prominent than other VPs, especially Cheney. There's been some pretty brutal headlines and articles about her updating her resume with filler words or picking up a second job.
I've been disappointed with the onion's education coverage the the last few years, but I blame the culture more than them. 20 years ago the average person would be vaguely familiar with educational policy debates such as high-stakes testing or TFA. But nowadays there's much more debate about curriculum and school choice so it's much harder to satirize.
Hey, thanks for this thoughtful comment, and pardon my tardy reply! You make a great poiht re:education, as No Child Left Behind likely sparked a public awareness that's diminished and been replaced with the types of debates you mentioned.
I think the Onion is doing well covering Kamala Harris, consistently portraying her as someone in a dead end job with nothing to do:
