She describes the President as "that scary man from Texas" who has destroyed decades of multilateralism. She accuses the right wing of taking advantage of September 11th "to change the rules." Here is the final paragraph of the article:The election of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the governor of California is not only a "bad joke" but also "another step towards the end of politics," judges Sontag. Schwarzenegger, like Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi, is a man who was elected because of his wealth and success. The two are also so dumb that people make jokes about them.Susan Sontag, of course, is no dummy. Obviously, however, she finds the Italian and the Californian commoner to be quite stupid. It is interesting that the leftist intellectuals -- who pretend to be the protectors of the weak and disadvantaged -- are the people who are most likely to publically suggest that their intelligence is far above the common man's.

She is was an idiot.
I see. Did she ever write anything commenting on the election of porn stars (plural) in Italy?
You ever notice that the left's most successful intimidation tactic is to accuse one of being stupid if you didn't agree to their philosophies. You are stupid if you hate affirmitive action, you are ignorant if you don't like the UN ect. The boobs who fall for that stuff don't like to see themselves as nincompoops so they fall for this crap!
Then again there is precedent for this type of technique from the Bible. "You shall not surely die, for God knows that when you eat of it, you shall become wise like the Gods, knowing good from evil."
Eve fell for the original Liberal line..."You're stupid if you don't eat the fruit(or agree to be taxed and to have your country's sovereignty destroyed), eat it and you'll be like us Elite Gods!(Euroweenies and various ascended anti American hate groups and Muslim goat lovers)"
