Narcissism, Palestinians And Jews

Well hell, I never imagined posting anything with such a title, but I find reason to do so now. Shrinkwrapped offered a discussion of narcissism after several of his readers referred him to a report on rising narcissism among college students.  I agree with his basic observations about narcissism.

Once again, however, I do find it troubling that Shrinkwrapped seems barely able to examine any psychological phenomenon without attributing pathology to liberals, Arabs or both to illustrate his points.  In comments on the societal dynamics of narcissism, he observes that Palestinians "have been taught they are special and held down by the "oppressive" Jews since 1948."

Frank Rich On Al Queda Regrouping And The Threat Of An Attack In The U.S.

While Neocons have accused everyone else in the U.S. of a lack of patriotism, they have caused grave damage to our national defense, while diminishing America's influence and prestige across the globe.  Moreover, they have been guilty of indirectly providing comfort to the enemy that actually attacked us on 9-11.  Their consistent opposition to doing what is in the best interests of the United States is baffling.

And now, after many thousands of human lives have been lost and our military resources squandered on a foolish war against the wrong foes in Iraq, bin Laden's Al Qaeada forces have regrouped in Pakistan.  Frank Rich writes about dire warnings of a gathering threat of another terrorist attack on the U.S.

If such an attack occurs, the Neocons will shamelessly blame liberals.  They will be wrong, just as they have been wrong about virtually everything else over the past 6 years.

Hillary, Geffen Obama: Al Gore Wins

Last night's Al Gore Academy Awards provided an interesting contrast to Hollywood's Hillary flogging earlier in the week. Gore's jokes about announcing his run for the White House amid the scripted, over-the-top adulation seemed so perfectly timed that one wonders if Geffen chose last week to unload on Hillary just when it would make Al Gore look all the more appealing to a huge television audience.

It's hard to imagine Hillary watching without steam coming out of her ears, which is exactly how her opponents would like us to imagine her.

Sullivan on Hillary, Geffen, Dowd and Obama

I've commented on the Hillary, Geffen, Obama flap in two previous posts (here and here).  While much of the press called it a draw between Clinton and Obama, I believe that Geffen's public spanking of Hillary and Bill, along with the Clinton campaign's reaction, exposed deeper trouble in Mrs. Clinton's bid for the nomination.
