Condi’s slip

As discussed by Laura Kipnis in Slate.  At once delightful and instructive, in the characteristic Kipnisian mode.  But interestingly, this latest item has nothing at all to do with sex-- or with Harold Bloom’s boneless hand and Naomi Wolf throwing up in the sink.  It’s actually about the heightened-- hysterical?-- expectations that now surround every verbal stumble by a public official.  And it’s got Oscar Wilde in there too, saying, “It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.” So go check it out already.
