Paglia for Obama/Sibelius
 Please subscribeI read (and enjoy) Camille Paglia in the same way I do Christopher Hitchens: I don’t always agree, but they are so damned articulate and entertaining that I stop what I’m doing just to get what they have to say.
I’ve come to feel that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius is Obama’s best bet. She is a polished public presence who epitomizes that cordial, smoothly reassuring, and blandly generic WASPiness that has persistently defined the American power structure in business and government and that has weirdly resisted wave after wave of immigration since the mid-19th century. An Obama-Sebelius pairing would be visually vibrant and radiant, like a new day dawning.Hillary for veep? Are you mad? What party nominee worth his salt would chain himself to a traveling circus like the Bill and Hillary Show? If the sulky bearded lady wasn’t biting the new president’s leg, the oafish carnival barker would be sending in the clowns to lure all the young ladies into back-of-the-tent sword-swallowing.
By the way, if you haven’t already done so (or even if you have), please pick your VP candidates. I’ll compile a shorter list after that and we’ll do it again…until we get it right.
