I love to read Paglia whether I agree with her conclusions or not. She is however like Cassandra, a prophetess without honor in her own land (ie- with dems).

The final nails in Gore’s coffin are the recently resurrected soundbites of Gore talking in 1992 in a campaign speech against GHWB. He sealed his own fate in that speech.

Someday, CP will be an excellent “dotty old aunt” for some lucky relative.

Amen to that. It's wonderful being able to actually read the opinions of someone who is not a semi-literate, and can reason in the real world.

Cassandra, indeed...

Tell that to the more than 50 percent of the population that now draw a government check or subsidy each month. Think they will vote for someone who promises to cut their income or one who promises to “take from the rich and give to the poor”?

Camile is a tough broad and I love her directness....she’s at her best in this piece....the Dems would do well to listen up.....we’ve all seen what guys like Gore, Nader, and Perot can do to an election.

"...After two major televised debates by both parties, only a Pollyanna on helium would believe that any of the top-tier Democrats will definitely be able to defeat a leading Republican like Mitt Romney or Rudy Giuliani."

ROTFL

Don't run, Al. Don't.

This chant, according to media reports, is being heard from the crowd wherever former Vice President Al Gore speaks.

It's because they're afraid he will eclipse Hillary, their annointed one.

Paglia, though a DIM, is intelligent.

Her lifestyle (LESBO), compels her to choose the dark side in politics. Lesson learned for the rest of us.

Gore has become a risible cartoon character for much of the country at large.

Ok, who told her?

She is a unapologetic liberal unlike Hillary Any Way The Wind Blows Clinton.

-—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.

Paglia is an intellectual Ann Coulter on another reservation. I like reading her. Thanks for posting.

Hillary excelled in the first half by the greater specificity of her responses, but her gains were nearly wiped out at one point by her bone-chilling mirthless chuckling (like a sound effect for the Blood Countess in a horror film). Wow! We need a copy of that! Could be a Deanesque moment!

Thanks for posting this. She is usually a good read even if she is a leftie.
