and talked about "the politics of meaning"

Thanks! That's the phrase that was eluding me. I recalled the connection with Hillary (in yet another ill-starred Dem attempt at the "spiritual"), but I couldn't recall the catch phrase.

If my memory is correct, HIllary was on the cover of the NYT Mag, dressed in white and the title was Saint Hillary. And she waxed enthusiastic over Lerner. It made me nauseous,,the moral posturing. And Lerner sounded like a snake oil salesman turned guru.

I always took the phrase "The Politics of Meaning" to translate into "The Phonyness of Good Intentions". In otherwords, "meaninglessness".
