Now here’s a voice of reason……
It seems that the final days of the presidential campaign have made Erica Jong and her friends more than a little anxious.
A few days ago, Jong, the author and self-described feminist, gave an interview to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera,
the choicest bits of which were brought to my attention by the reliably
sharp-eyed Christian Rocca, the U.S. correspondent of Il Foglio, who
published excerpts on his Camillo blog.
Basically, Jong says her fear that Obama might lose the election has
developed into an "obsession. A paralyzing terror. An anxious fever
that keeps you awake at night." She also says that her friends Jane
Fonda and Naomi Wolf are extremely worried that Obama will be sabotaged
by Republican dirty tricks, and that if an Obama loss indeed comes to
pass, the result will be a second American Civil War.."The record shows that voting machines in America are rigged."
"My friends Ken Follett and Susan Cheever are extremely worried.
Naomi Wolf calls me every day. Yesterday, Jane Fonda sent me an email
to tell me that she cried all night and can’t cure her ailing back for
all the stress that has reduces her to a bundle of nerves.""My back is also suffering from spasms, so much so that I had to see an acupuncturist and get prescriptions for Valium."
"After having stolen the last two elections, the Republican Mafia…"
"If Obama loses it will spark the second American Civil War. Blood
will run in the streets, believe me. And it’s not a coincidence that
President Bush recalled soldiers from Iraq for Dick Cheney to lead
against American citizens in the streets.""Bush has transformed America into a police state, from torture to the imprisonment of reporters, to the Patriot Act."
Wow…..
