You Betcha!

Camille Paglia once again demonstrates that she doesn’t live in either party’s echo chamber.  First she gives McCain what he deserves

But John McCain (like Bob Dole) was a major Republican misfire — a
candidate of personal honor and heroic sacrifice who was woefully
inadequate for the times. McCain’s lurching grandstanding during the
Wall Street crisis made him look like a ham actor on a bender. In
debate, McCain was always pugnacious but too often bland or rambling,
and he often missed glaring opportunities to score off Obama’s
vagueness or contradictions.

then Obama’s buddies in the press

In the closing weeks of the election, however, I became increasingly
disturbed by the mainstream media’s avoidance of forthright dealing
with several controversies that had been dogging Obama — even as every
flimsy rumor about Sarah Palin was being trumpeted as if it were
engraved in stone on Mount Sinai.

and finally Sarah Palin and her critics

How dare Palin not embrace abortion as the ultimate civilized ideal of
modern culture? How tacky that she speaks in a vivacious regional
accent indistinguishable from that of Western Canada! How risible that
she graduated from the State University of Idaho and not one of those
plush, pampered commodes of received opinion whose graduates, in their
rush to believe the worst about her, have demonstrated that, when it
comes to sifting evidence, they don’t know their asses from their
elbows.

Paglia manages to work Ayers and Dohrn into the discussion as well.
