I have seen her in interviews before, and she comes across as this smarmy, condescending bitch who, in the words of Allahpundit from Hot Air (see blogroll), has a perpetually "creepy, vacant, beatific smile." This segment from an interview between Wolf and Shep Smith of Fox News shows off these descriptions of her in spades. The funny part, is that Shep is having none of it!
I really lost it when she used that "Let's get our babies out of Iraq" line. That idiotic quote was addressed quite nicely by Shep Smith in the clip, but also by a commenter on Hot Air:
Yeah, Naomi - Saddam, Hitler, Pol Pot and Stalin were someone’s babies too.Whether you agree or disagree with the Iraq War, denigrating and infantilizing our troops like that is ludicrous. Good for everyone who calls out that quintessential leftist, Naomi Wolf, for uttering something so idiotic.
FWIW, I happen to be 41 and have two kids of my own. I also happen to be an Army field grade officer on my second deployment in three years. All without my binky.
I also loved Wolf's throwaway line about "three white guys" when describing the frontrunning Republican nominees. Wasn't it just four short years ago that the Democrats were offering up John Kerry (white guy), Jonathan Edwards (white guy), and Howard Dean (white guy)? That was even in the 21st century! What a tool this woman is.
Good Day to You, Sir

Smarmy, condescending bitch? Is she a Mrs. Bill Clinton clone?
I have been gone from blogging a long time. I have been dealing with my feelings about my daughter's illness. It was heartbreaking to see you dealing with an illness too. It is very tough to deal with a child's illness when you really have no control over it. Thanks for your last post and I will try to get back in the game.
If more reporters/anchors called people on their stupid comments, perhaps the press in general would get more respect from the public.
