In Salon, Camille Paglia laments that it may be too late for her beloved President Obama to prevent his presidency from becoming a debacle, a condition she believes was brought about by the blindness to reality that obtains in much of the Left’s groupthink. She blames the coming demise of the Obama presidency on his advisers and consultants, but never on him. Camille Paglia is a brave woman to point out the failures of the Left. They don’t like it, and punish those who dare to question the radical left-wing orthodoxy. Do not be surprised to see Camille Paglia savaged by her former friends. Watch yourself, toots.
Ah, Camille, don’t step on toes
Please keep your profile low
The Left knows how to handle those
Who dare to let them know
That they are not the angel’s breath
That heaven from on high
Sent down to cause the bourgeois death
That they all think is nigh
What do they think of you, Camille?
They think of you as kept
A woman pere Dumas could feel
Was free to fly, except
She could not speak her mind at all
She could not say a word
She’s at her master’s beck and call
A painted, sainted bird
Camellias bloom, camellias die
The Left is always here
And that dear girl’s the reason why
You have a right to fear
The people now you think you know
The people of the hive
Pray look behind you for the blow
And you may stay alive
