New Politics, alas! With Rahm Emmanuel still in hiding in Timbuktu and with a sorrowful crowd surrounding Howard Dean’s corpse, freshly rolled over by the Obama bus (now far away, no glances in the rear mirror) the One shows, time and again, that he is not ordinary politician, but someone who is equipped with an unusually large quantity of cynicism and opportunism. No cause or individuals who helped his career can feel secure around him, from gays to clintonistas – whether Caligula or Emperor Jones are Obama’s role models, I don’t know, but the larger picture coagulating around him is that of a brazen and egotistic narcissist who, propelled by a crisis has been brought to power.
New politics – I’m sure we’ll hear more about that.
