Comments on: A post-ironic world? (updated Wed.) http://johnrlong.com/2008/04/08/a-post-ironic-world/ I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

Maybe Annie Lennox did us all a favor and complained to YouTube.

It wasn’t as good as the first one, except for the part where the little floating McCain cutout appears to be peeking though the lead singer’s bedroom window. That was suitable creepy.

As for the ‘Mad As Hell’ video – if it had stuck to Chris Matthews, Bill Kristol, Joe Scarborough and the like, it would have been on the money. But to include Keith Olbermann’s scrupulously non-sexist ‘Special Comment’ tends to put the whole video in the realm of ‘any criticism of Clinton is sexist.’

The thing that disturbs me most about the Clinton campaign is the sense of entitlement it seems to have – as if Clinton is ‘owed’ the presidency.

I saw a blog somewhere this week discussing the Clinton campaign and Bush’s still-plummeting approval ratings and the general wreck of the economy. The writer suggested that this is the year Democrats finally realize why Repuiblicans hated the Clintons and Republicans finally realize why Democrats always hated Bush.
