Arianna Huffington doesn’t delude herself that Bush won on homo-hating. She has very interesting things to say about the election.
And take a look at her blog-page, where she lays out some useful stepping stones to guide people on reasoned, critical, introspective conversations … instead of becoming hysterical.

Le Monde Diplomatique’s man on the ground in West Virginia tries to understand America …. and succeeds rather well, I think. Better than Jane Smiley, Ted Rall, Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, Frank Rich, Tom Friedman, John le Carre, Madonna, Greg Palast, Katrina van den Heuvel, David Corn, Pauls Krugman and Begala, Maureen Dowd … and a lot of the other raging, hateful flapping assholes making fucking fools of themselves.
The Le Monde piece demonstrates the difference between serious, mature, respectful political observation and the kind of theatrics, bullshit and venting the American Left has been permitting itself to be satisfied with.
