The Submarines - You, Me, & the Bourgeoisie
“It's time to be so brutally honest about
the way we think long for something fine
when we pine for higher ceilings
and bourgeois happy feelings”
Before the presidential campaign of Senator Hillary Clinton spirals into a final rise or decline (or remains in this purgatory), it’s time for an honorary political death
bed post. Will she live for another fight?
Let me just say: I've long admired Ms. Clinton shattering glass ceilings, for forging new paths, But her campaign (a video
summary) was the pinnacle of political pugnacity, attacking fellow Senator Barack Obama for his high-minded elementary school aspirations, his dubious not-really-a-Muslim actually-a-Christian status, his Elvis-like youth and ability to get voters (even the press!) excited (though he wasn’t so daring as to dance like the King), and the list goes on. Oh the gaffes! Mr. Obama says she’s likeable “
enough,” that
Pennsylvania voters are “
bitter” and cling to the something or other, and it’s like those “working, hard-working Americans,
white Americans” aren’t voting for him or whatever. The
blind (
Mark Penn) led the
blindingly blind (Mrs. Clinton herself), while Mr. Clinton unsuccessfully attempted to have Mr. Obama’s head on a platter (
consider Florida and Michigan?). Judas may have been: Governor
Bill Richardson, or possibly the
Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
I'm glad to see this race, and the consequential Democratic squabbling, over.
