“She is a unapologetic liberal unlike Hillary “
I give her credit for intellectual honesty, although we usually come to different conclusions about public policy. The annoying thing about CP is that she often writes in a dense, academic fashion, as if to show how learned she is and how dumb the audience is.
BTW, I agree with MIchael Medved’s surmise that Algore is psychologically disturbed. I hope he runs because the pressure will make him unravel in public.
Schadenfreude is terrible, but I cannot resist.
-—Right now, the Democrats’ best hope may be for the Republicans to veer right and nominate an erratic aging boy like the seedy Newt Gingrich or a Hollywood caricature of vintage 1910 American small-town life like the phlegmatically pithy Fred Thompson, whose homespun act feels tired and looks tired.-—
I fully agree with her on this point, which is why I think Romney is perhaps our best hope if the President doesn’t bury the party in the meantime.

I missed that one. Do you have a link?
I seriously doubt he would do this, but a Bloomberg/Gore ticket would get a lot of votes. Bloomberg has no appeal outside of the leftist NYC area, but Gore could do damage nationwide. It would comprise the far left of the dems with a lot of "conservative" dems. Plus lots of independants. Virtually no republicans, but they may not need them to win. BTW, interesting to read the comments from liberals to her article. They really HATE her for pointing out the obvious about the current crop of democrats. They ignore Paglia's advice at their own peril. Leftists obviously think that the candidates aren't liberal enough. And that America just "can't wait" to elect an uber-liberal to the highest office, even someone with absolutely no qualifications, like Obama or Hillary. Richardson is the only one who could plausibly claim executive experience.
Thanks for posting this. She is usually a good read even if she is a leftie.
And they have a mirror image, right here on FR:
"FReepers obviously think that the candidates aren't conservative enough. And that America just "can't wait" to elect an uber-conservative to the highest office, even someone with absolutely no qualifications, like Hunter or Tancredo. Huckabee is the only one who could plausibly claim executive experience." ;)
Yea, and that his obnoxious behavior will make obvious to many the absurdity of his position on Global-Warming, which all of the Demonrats are now committed to.
Reflecting on all the reasons that the rats don't want him to run I can only think, Run Al Run!
What a joke.
Algore is biding his time, keeping his powder dry, while the Clinton-Obama-Edwards Axis of Weevils tears itself apart and turns off the voting public. Come Fall, Algore will win the Nobel Peace Prize. Resurgent interest in his being First in war, First in peace, First in global warming, will create a wave of rock-star enthusiasm he will not be able to refuse.
Algore never heard of Camille Paglia and wouldn't have the sense to take her seriously if he had.
Very good article by Camille Paglia.
Run Algore Run!
Interesting. I have to admit you’re right!
