Paglia gets impatient. Look, I don't like Hillary much either, but I do like her better after this race. Sorry Camille, Barack is no alpha male. Why can't he win decisively? Because he's not a decisive kind of guy. What do you think Barack is going to do, Camille? He may be capable of rearranging rocks for Barack in that great liberal Zen utopia of the mind. Paglia betrays Obama's inadequacies with her words (emphasis mine):
But at this point, even with strong wins in Appalachia, Hillary has no true rationale for her candidacy, other than her inflamed gender and her putative Washington "experience" -- which has yet to produce a tangible legislative achievement. Her persistence is now keyed to her hope (chillingly close to a curse) that her rival will make a major gaffe or be besmirched by some unknown past scandal.Barack Obama is a very flawed candidate, as is Hillary. Well, Paglia knows her well.
Brings up Vince Foster's suicide and Waco?! And then there's Rezko lurking around to hurt Barack Obama.(I invite Camille to Chicago. Sorry to knock the stars out of your eyes. Barack is angry and ambitious. No post-racial savior. And Hillary is a contender. It's Obama who's the wuss who turns his back. But so are "feminists" who cry foul on her behalf.) Hillary stands in wait, maybe she'll be lucky:) Tribune:
The amount of each kickback as mentioned somewhere in the tapes the jury will hear again as they deliberate, Niewoehner said. He asked them to listen when complicated deals were being discussed by players in the case and note that no one stopped Levine to ask what he was talking about.Hillary has lots of patience. Next Tuesday are Kentucky (probably hers) and Oregon (probably his). In June come South Dakota, Alabama and Puerto Rico. If Rev. Wright or Tony Rezko make the news, who knows?"Everybody gets it," he said.
During the brief deliberations Tuesday, jurors picked a foreman.
They will not deliberate Wednesday because one of them has a scheduling conflict. And perhaps signaling that deliberations could go on for a time, the panel left the judge a note that indicated it will follow a schedule much like one during the trial.
That includes working a half-day every other Friday, including this week.
The Dems have a lot more dirt, more rocks to be overturned to see the worms. (The GOP has the edge on transparency:) Patience. Kathleen Parker:
It's about blood equity, heritage and commitment to hard-won American values. And roots.Enter John McCain?
Well, my mom's mom's family came from northern Ireland. My dad's is from Cork. Plenty of them became doctors, went to med school back in the day. Journalists too. And I was a Reagan Democrat after a stint at Harvard. Back off, Newsweek, and Mark Shields. Scots-Irish farmers in Iowa, my grandma taught school, married a rancher from Nebraska. My grandpa said a man's word was his bond. Nuance? Nuts! You shook hands, you looked each other in the eye. Patience. And trust.
We know how to fight. And we know what's worth fighting for. Barack Obama doesn't.
