The Privileged Narcissist Vote

Paul Campos, via RCP, takes off on Caitlin Flanagan. I wrote about her recently in Recognizing Real Choices.

What people can't stand about Flanagan is that she's an extraordinarily privileged narcissist, who strikes a preposterous Everywoman pose while delivering lectures on motherhood whose sanctimoniousness is exceeded only by their hypocrisy. She has about as much in common with the average American homemaker as Paris Hilton. And I'm pretty sure Democrats can get along without the Paris Hilton vote.

Well, yeah, Flanagan is not your average homemaker. But the Democrats do need the privileged narcissist vote, it's a significant part of their base. And if they've managed to upset someone raised in Berkeley and still residing on the Left Coast, I would think the Dems would be uneasy about their prospects. On the other hand, I wonder, where has she been the last several years? Most sentient homemakers left the Democrat party long ago.
