We Americans are like recovering addicts after a four-year bender

Bush made his white constituency feel good about themselves, but no longer. Citizens are rediscovering democracy

Naomi Wolf Monday November 7, 2005 The Guardian

In the US comic strip, Peanuts, there is a little boy who is always followed by a cloud of dust. Wherever he goes, his cloud follows him. George Bush can't shake his personal cloud. The until recently eerily untouchable president has now lost his mojo. The man to whom the entire US press corps has been on its knees for four years is finally in the doghouse. It is almost a cartoon of karma. First, hurricane Katrina hit - and the sight of black and brown bodies floating in what had been the streets of a US city, of babies crying for water, of old people shrouded in their wheelchairs seemed to rip right through the collective fantasy of US goodness and infallibility constructed by Dick Cheney and his cabal and hyped by a crotch-strapped Bush in a flightsuit.

The man to whom the entire US press corps has been on its knees for four years...

What the f*ck is she smoking?

[goldstategop]

BWAHAHAHAHA. The press has been anti-Bush from Day One. They never gave him credit. And they paint Iraq as a failure.

Penis envy.

[Richard Axtell]

This woman is a racist idiot. She is a danger to her party, but not to us.

[HisKingdomWillAbolishSinDeath]

A Wolf in wolf's cothing.

[GSlob]

It is not smoking - it is a failed laxative. A person becomes so full of it that it overflows - a very unpleasant and unsanitary condition.

[SJSAMPLE]

That's the first thing Liberals shoot for - the crotch.

It's a very telling obsession.

[raynearhood]

I don't really understand this article. Reading it was like listening to Alan Iverson explain quantum theory. We are all dumber after having read that article.

[BamaAndy]

Something wrong with being white? Something wrong with believing in God? --freedom from government? --family? --man, woman and children? No. You're nothing to me, Wolf, and that certainly describes your lying democrat party of division, real division. I pray for an awakeing of more Americans some day--never get all of them (too many looney toons) but enough to pick up seats would be nice.

[Reactionary]

It's the usual from a leftist girl: The usual anti-American, anti-white, anti-male spew.

Oh, yes. But there's nothing racist or sexist or anti-American about it. the frothing geniuses on the Left are far too wonderful to indulge in such gutter swill.

[porkchops 4 mahound]

I LOVE this sh!t!

Because it proves the left is dying.

The first thing they teach you in engineering is that the solution of a problem lies within the problem. So, to solve ANY problem, first, you must accurately define it.

If you are not honest with yourself, you are DOOOOOOOOMED!

These leftist scum are incapable of telling the TRUTH, even to themselves.

They are on their way to join the dinosaurs.

[AlexW]

This is typical for the Guardian, a pure leftist piece of fish-wrap garbage.
What else can one expect from the NYT of London.

[kublia khan]

I've smoked some pretty good sh** in my time but I ain't never had anything like that

[carumba]

If you are not honest with yourself, you are DOOOOOOOOMED!

My assessment is that the conservative pendulum is swinging the other way. So I am glad that we have packed the Supreme court. I hope we have. The majority of seats in congress may belong to the other side after the next round. I just hope our next presidential candidate has more charisma than Dole.

[backhoe]

That's the first thing Liberals shoot for - the crotch. It's a very telling obsession.

Yep- Honey Badgers.

[azhenfud]

"Because it proves the left is dying."

They've been told in error if they franticly flail their arms as they're going down they'll hit something.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Naomi Wolf, eh? Say Naomi: thanks for that "Alpha Male" advice to Earth tone Gore. LOL.

[this_ol_patriot]

I don't agree with all of President Bush's policies but any person who can get the liberal's panties in such a tight wad deserves my utmost respect and admiration. I wonder who we can elect next that also has this wonderful and desirable trait?

[driftless]

Liberals cannot face the truth. That is why they deal in "appearances" and abstract things like emotions and feelngs. All of Wolf's columns are like that. Impossible to detect a thread of honest analysis in anything she writes. They call Bush names, and to liberals that suffices for competent analysis.

[Chi-townChief]

Isn't this the babe whom Al Gore consulted with to become an "alpha male."
