Camille Paglia despairs of Obama — including sounding TOO black

She throws a bit of everything into her worry bin.

First, Obama is like short-term FBI head L. Patrick Gray:

Obama is twisting slowly, slowly in the wind like a tempting piñata for right-wing cudgels.

Next, he’s not playing his campaign strategy cards correct. (I agree.)

Then, contrary to Toby Keith and Ralph Nader, he sounds too black, or too young urban black, at least:

A major gaffe this summer has been that, in trying to act more casual and folksy to appeal to working-class white voters, Obama has resorted to a cringe-making use of inner-city black intonations and jokey phrasings — exactly the wrong tactic.

Paglia then claims she’s not surprised Hillary Clinton is still lurking, but says most of her votes weren’t actually for her, but for a dropped out “other,” without Paglia naming names.

Well, that’s stupid, just stupid, Camille. More stupid by far than the Obama is talking too black idea.

With all that wingers had already put Hillary through, many of her voters were just as “core,” if not more so, than Obama’s.

Just like the stereotypical self-hating Jew, liberal(ish?) female pundits and commentators who feel obliged to diss Hillary Clinton come off as self-hating women, almost.
