Legacy Journal: Thursday Time for Truth Telling: 9/11, the Magazine, and the True Myth Makers.

Section:

Commentary

Summary:

*    On the seventh anniversary of 9/11, it is time this morning to pause and soberly reflect on the significance of that tragic day.  The story is partially told by the rapid repair of the Pentagon and today’s dedication of the victim memorial at that site.

**  Joel Klein has written a Time profile on Palin people from his east coast perch. The mythology of the longstanding American Story or small towns and small people who do big things because of their Western getup and go is the target of Klein’s revision for those of us to used to religiously subscribe to the magazine.  Kleinists have a new reality: it is cosmopolitan, urbananist, globally focused, secular,  pro-Israel, and not a little over-the-top intellectual.  We do not see Klein doing any serious hunting, fishing or fact finding in Alaska any time soon.

***  Meanwhile, Klein, like Obama,  uses a mistimed and misappropriate metaphor in a Palin political context.  “

Rocket propelled grenade” has now jarringly replaced” lipstick on a pig”

as the explosive image of the moment.  So, today, Sara Palin joins other Alaskan who are sending their warriors off to Iraq to doing what have been going on for 7 years:  Continuing the push back military response against middle eastern extremists who wish the likes of Joel Klein, and many of the rest of us, more than a little ill will and bad action.
