Brave new era
Here is a thought experiment that does not take very much thought. Picture, if you will, Christopher Hitchens facing a spleen-related conundrum. With whom shall he place the blame: his nemesis Hilary Clinton or the man who has appointed her to her new office? (I did tell you that this wouldn't be difficult.) Here's another one: Will we have to watch Hitchens bend himself into ever more improbable pretzel configurations as he justifies his support for The One through the year 2012?
Related: Camille Paglia's contortions call to mind balloon animals rather than pretzels but the overall configuration is nevertheless called to mind. By contrast, this brave new world holds no fears for me regarding my spleen of the campaign. The Obama administration is shaping up to be self-serving and hypocritical - normal, in other words - and I am untroubled by many of his appointments to date. The Devil too can quote Clinton.
