Bailin' Palin PoMo?

[Henry Musikar]

"Palin may be as erratic as many people say. I wasn't the only observer who
noted a hopped up, free-associating, almost amphetamine-like quality to the
cadence of her resignation speech. But another way to view her speech is as
the latest example of a style that could, in the end, prove revolutionary.
Call it "post-modern" politics.

Look up postmodernism (or "PoMo," as some call it) and you'll get a broad
range of definitions. It's almost like the Supreme Court definition of
obscenity: You can't define it, but you know it when you see it. It was born
of the sense that there are no underlying principles or conventions we can
trust. It involves identifying, naming, and ultimately shattering the rules
under which we've all been operating. It's related to the theater concept of
"breaking the proscenium" or "knocking down the fourth wall," acknowledging
that some of us are actors and some are spectators in what is, after all,
only a performance.

Coherence? That's so yesterday."
