Blood Will Run in the Streets'--

It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious.

A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who published excerpts on his Camillo blog.

She also says that her friends Jane Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.

Here's a translation of Jong's more spirited quotes to the Milan-based Corriere, as selected by Rocca.

"The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."

“will be sabotaged by Republican dirty tricks”

It’s the Rovian tactic of making Joe Biden open his mouth. Rove had this control over John Kerry too.

That war has already begun. The question is whether or not it will go hot.

Obama loses - the Left riots? The MSM told them the election was in the bag for the One. Since the polls said so!

I love predictions of violence if Obama loses. Nothing makes me want to vote McCain-Palin any more than that. I hate having a gun held to my head. It just ticks me off.

Well, the pen may be mightier than the sword, but it’s nice to be on the side that has both. ;-)

Yes, but, for the love of God and your eyesight don’t google a current picture.
