I think I know who Camille is going to vote for. Her last line is right on the money.
I agree. I’ve always enjoyed her essays, especially on the intellectual corruption in academia. I’m lost as to how she always refers to herself politically as a “libertarian” yet votes extreme left. Last election, she called herself a libertarian and voted for Nader. This election, she calls herself a libertarian yet will vote for Obama.
If I remember correctly, she also wrote in an essay that she learned a lot about politics from Edward Said. That figures. She also doesn’t seem to know all that much about economics.
Still, her praise of Sarah is sincere (though I felt momentarily faint when she slipped in that bit about eight years of Obama presidencies), and her analysis of the rhetoric of the left (though, unfortunately, not its policies), is spot on.
