Max and Naomi are the first I’m aware of to admit their mistakes to the conservative base they either took for granted or pilloried. Keep an eye out for more defections and public mae culpas. (Mae culpi?)
...On second thought, few folks like Bill Maher and Scott Adams who make a living from their observations, commentary, and opinions have begun to question their own positions over some long-held beliefs. So these may be signs of a sea change in society taking place. I hope it’s for the better!
Next we’ll see Scarborough confess his sins. NOT!
He’s not admitting any mistakes here. He’s just serving notice that one of two things has happened: (1) the political agenda of his employers has changed, or (2) he has new employers.
Well done linking Naomi and Boot together.
Naomi Wolf’s change of heart is the first thing that came to mind when I read this piece. I wonder if we’re entering a kind of ideological Jubilee season where bad ideas get dumped and those who held them are forgiven. If this kind of thing becomes a trend and hits critical mass, maybe it could yield a much needed course correction.
