Too late for Obama to turn it around?
2009-09-09
By Camille Paglia

Ms. Paglia once again makes clear what is going wrong in the world. Always delightful even if you don't agree.

#7  Too bad she can't understand the implications of her own words.

Camille is clear-eyed enough to see what's actually going on, instead of merely parroting the standard "Obama rulez, Palin SUX, f--- U rethugz!!!1!!" you get from the Kos Kiddies. I say we encourage her in her observations, even as we disagree with her conclusions. She just may well come around to our way of thinking.

#6  Its a sad day when a commercial featuring processed cheese is more inspiring than the President, and the worse team in baseball has a winning percentage a good 10-15 points better than the approval rating of elected officials.

#4  .., but the media warhorses failed to speak out when they should have

Maybe because he's their creation to begin with. Why should they speak out? This comes to mind. Limited time only, indeed.

#3  Well said AlanC. Unfortuntely, she has lots of "drug-addled" company.

#2  Too bad she can't understand the implications of her own words. She goes on fawning over the "visionaries" of her youth who were so wonderful in their drug-addled music and literature while berating the current Democrap elite that doesn't understand the "common" people.

Forty years ago it was forseen that the narcissistic flower-power youth were nothing but incipient authoritarians or sheep trained by the increasingly leftist academics, and that the current result would follow as night follows day.

But Paglia can't understand that as she rails against the result she shouldn't go on touting the cause. She, too, is a victim of that lack of education in logic and critical thinking.

#1  While it was enjoyable reading and she does manage to stray from the lemming-line, I am never impressed with her. She is just another product of the liberal, "Who can I blame to make myself holier than thou" game. Obama bad, Bush bad, Cheney bad, democrats dumb, republicans dumber. At least she's a witty nag.
