In the closing weeks of the election, however, I became increasingly disturbed by the mainstream media's avoidance of forthright dealing with several controversies that had been dogging Obama -- even as every flimsy rumor about Sarah Palin was being trumpeted as if it were engraved in stone on Mount Sinai. For example, I had thought for many months that the flap over Obama's birth certificate was a tempest in a teapot. But simple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction. Thanks to their own blathering, fanatical overkill, of course, the right-wing challenges to the birth certificate never gained traction.

wow, the birth certificate questions show up in Salon?
In a serious discussion?
Ok, your television has now become an official Obama worship station. That’s all that comes out of it. I advise everyone that doesn’t want to worship the beast to TURN IT OFF!
Mine has been turned off since last Wednesday. I will not participate in this fest!
Same here. Had the satellite taken out last Wednesday.
It’s never ceased to amaze me, being what and who she is, that Camille Paglia can be one of the few beacons of sanity in the Democrat party, and of the left in general.
Good move!
You missed seeing reports containing video from the news camera, that was trained for hours upon "the actual plane" that would transport Obama out of DC yesterday, then. Good stuff, very enlightening. Surprised it didn't have "Airforce 0" on it.
Oh, and did you know Obama was going to get a puppy?
I have watched ZERO news since election night.
I have read ZERO newspapers or magazines.
If I see a picture of Obama, I gag.
I wish his administration would start today, so I can start lobbing brickbats from the rear - the way they did for eight years.
I cannot stand to hear his name - not even one more time. Can you believe how much free press this man has gotten SO FAR?!? And we are still months away from the inauguration.
Having discontinued the NYT years ago, I am now forced to discontinue my other morning paper, the NY Daily News, which has been engaged in orgiastic adulation since last Tuesday.
Cancel your papers and your cable/DISH...read some books. Stimulate your mind.
Good God, You are copying me : ). The 63% that voted him in, or whatever the % was can have him and pay the price for it. I will never participate in supporting this idiot.
I am deeply concerned that we have an election the was stolen in favor of the Marxist left.
The $300,000,000.00 from the mid-east, ACORN.
And we hear nothing from republicans OR conservatives concerning this.
Only now in passing is the birth certificate mentioned in the leftist press.
IMHO, RINO’s are leftist moles. We know the list of those who have ruined the conservative movement.
Where I the outrage over this stolen election?
The United States of America had it’s last free election in 2004.
We will never in my lifetime have another free election.
True that. The 50% or more that don’t or don’t want to pay taxes have tipped the scale to burden the remainder.
For those about to be taxed, we salute you. Hail ObaMarxist.
Camille nails it.
Nails what? I read the first page-it's all of the Obama **** sucking I could stand to read.
When Zero implodes, we get to blame the media.
I hope every screaming bit of butt kissing blather, god-names, comparisons to Messiah, and criticisms of the opposition for legitimate concerns are cached, filed, saved, printed, and locked in a secure location because when the inevitable occurs I want to say:
We told you so!
“Oh, and did you know Obama was going to get a puppy?”
This headline has been competing with the intense drama of school selection for his daughters in DC.
Paglia ping. You’re gonna love page 2! Send that to some of those folks who said they could not stand Sarah!
xxoo
I saw a small part of a news conference and have a question. Obama was at a lectern bearing some kind of seal and the title, “Office of the President Elect.” Is that typical? I’d never seen it before but can’t say I ever really looked for it. Do we actually have an “office of the President Elect”?
That stupid sign! It looks like a prop for an SNL skit.
He is not the President-elect and cannot be the President-elect until the Electoral College elects him via electoral votes.
Until then, it’s just another weird example of “presidential bling.”
