http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2009/03/11/mercury/Yes, free the president from his flacks, fixers and goons -- his posse of smirky smart alecks and provincial rubes, who were shrewd enough to beat the slow, pompous Clintons in the mano-a-mano primaries but who seem like dazed lost lambs in the brave new world of federal legislation and global statesmanship.
Heads should be rolling at the White House for the embarrassing series of flubs that have overshadowed President Obama's first seven weeks in office and given the scattered, demoralized Republicans a huge boost toward regrouping and resurrection. (Michelle, please use those fabulous toned arms to butt some heads!)
First it was that chaotic pig rut of a stimulus package, which let House Democrats throw a thousand crazy kitchen sinks into what should have been a focused blueprint for economic recovery. Then it was the stunt of unnerving Wall Street by sending out a shrill duo of slick geeks (Timothy Geithner and Peter Orszag) as the administration's weirdly adolescent spokesmen on economics. Who could ever have confidence in that sorry pair?

I love Camille Paglia because of her endless knowledge about culture. I disagree with her often ( her self absorption can be trying) but we are simpatico on feminist matters as well as personal responsibility.
She is a huge Obama supporter. It's an interesting turn to see her critique his staff. Should that criticism pass on to Obama himself, it is a litmus test for the hard left that will certainly be talked about.
