But when I reviewed her book last June in the London Times, I found it a credible statement. Her voice is strong and individual. People complain that the book was ghost-written. Well, so what? She showed the ability to hire the right people! And in the current vacuum of the Democratic Party, with no dynamic candidates in sight, she's suddenly gained enormously. So I began to look at her in a new way and have been hoping that she'd run.

So Paglia has reconsidered her entire opinion of Hillary Clinton because... she hired a competent ghost-writer?

On to another, possibly declining, important cultural figure: Madonna.

Paglia is capable of making sense in short bursts, but then her utter lack of perspective jumps up and smack you in the face...

The first line was posed by the author and then slapped around by Camile.

You noticed that too I see. Between very lucid and hilarious comments on certain people or events, Paglia tends to make outrageously ridiculous observations.
