Democrats Captured by Phallic Power

Did you ever think of the twin towers of the World Trade Center a phallic symbols and the Pentagon as a vagina? Me neither, but if you did, you are in tune with George Lakoff, a major contributor to the Democrats’ current strategy of re-labeling itself.

The latest article by Johan Goldberg at NR Online quotes Lakoff:

Lakoff's first brush with publicity came in 2001 from his ill-considered analysis of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
"Towers are symbols of phallic power," he wrote, "and their collapse reinforces the idea of loss of power." Then Lakoff's metaphor-analysis machine surely started to smoke. "The planes," he continued "penetrating the towers with a plume of heat, and the Pentagon, a vaginal image from the air, penetrated by the plane as missile."

I know what you're thinking, because I'm thinking it, too: This is the perfect guy to advise the Democrats in the post-Clinton era!

This is the genius behind the Dems now referring to themselves as “Merlot Democrats.”

Thank you Lord. The Republicans can bicker all they want with the Conservatives; if this is the guidance behind the Left, the Right has no worries.
