Camille Paglia on how Democrats treated Gov. Palin:
Liberal Democrats are going to wake up from their sadomasochistic, anti-Palin orgy with a very big hangover. The evil genie released during this sorry episode will not so easily go back into its bottle. A shocking level of irrational emotionalism and at times infantile rage was exposed at the heart of current Democratic ideology — contradicting Democratic core principles of compassion, tolerance and independent thought. One would have to look back to the Eisenhower 1950s for parallels to this grotesque lock-step parade of bourgeois provincialism, shallow groupthink and blind prejudice.
Earlier this week I had a similar thought: If Obama really messes up in his first year, how many Americans will wake-up feeling the same way a man who gets drunk and has a one-night stand feels the following morning after he looks to see who’s sleeping on the other side of the bed? That is to say, will they wonder “What the hell was I thinking?” ![]()

More likely, if things are not 1000 percent dramatically better than they are now, night-and-day better (and they won’t be), folks are going to start asking “Where’s my change? Where’s my f***ing change, man? Give me my g*****n f***ing change! You promised us change — now where the hell is it?”
The problem with playing the messiah is that people are going to expect you to actually be one, and when you prove to be the fraud that you are, it is torches and pitchforks time.
she’s high if she thinks that the left is going to regret what they did to Palin. She left the reservation, hence she is a traitor and deserves everything she gets. They will make what happened to Bush the last 8 years look like a tea party.
Great quote! Your commentary gives me the impression that you see Obama as coyote ugly! Heh.
The liberal illuminati have made Palin look pretty bad and stupid but I don’t think America is going to wake up and want her over Obama any time soon, not even in four years. They have too good of a job making her look incompetent. I still think she will end up on TV or in some public area like that. Enough people like her to make it happen! The conservative Oparh!
Yes, they will be as regretful of their treatment of Palin as they are of their treatment of Clarence Thomas and Condi Rice.
Colin Powell, on the other hand… I’m waiting for the sheepish backpedaling on his rehabilitation, now that he’s no longer a house slave. My guess is that the people who trashed him so viciously are going to simply wake up to a new world where Powell has always been a dignified man of integrity. And Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Face it, if they were intellectually and morally consistent they wouldn’t be leftists. Their only bedrock principle is expediency.
I have to say, I was watching excerpts of interviews by CNN and MSNBC last night, and I did feel bad… I felt there were a lot of places were both parties crossed the lines of debate into the just mean.
Palin, unfortunately, got a huge chunk of it. The baby rumors stuff was uncalled for. The money thing should have been a one-day story, but it got dragged out ad nausea. (Although I saw it as a waste of money, it really wasn’t that important)
Really, though, I think these attacks by republicans have been way meaner than pre-election attacks. I mean saying that she doesn’t know Africa is a continent? Saying she doesn’t know the countries in NAFTA? I think as a candidate, these stories are much more demeaning.
It’s one thing when your political enemies make up crap (where you can pretty easily fight off), but when your advisers start doing it (with anonymity), that’s just cruel.
Except, alchemist, the Africa and NAFTA stories have been outed as hoaxes.
So congratulations. Now answer that nice Nigerian widow’s e-mail.
Not many. The media helped elect Barack Hussein Obama they will do what they have to in order to cover for him. Just look at Chris Matthews statement of it being his job to help the administration. The media will cover for Obama on everything and most people will never learn of what he truly is because of them. The lunatic fringe will adore Obama no matter what, simply because he’s not a Republican. The medias smoke screen will help conceal his actions to those that are in the center of the political spectrum.
The MSM will try to ignore any problems that crop up under Obama. Remember, it’s now their job to make his administration a success, says Chris Matthews.
If you do notice a problem, you’ll be branded as an obstructionist or a racist. And if even the MSM can’t pretend a problem doesn’t exist, they’ll find a way to blame it on Bush.
But buyer’s remorse? No way. The left is so convinced of its own brilliance and superiority that the idea that they may have screwed up will never cross their little minds.
“Africa a country” is still far better than Obama’s claim to these 57 United States!
