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

I wasn't really referring to the question, but to the twelve paragraphs that follow of Camille obsessing, yet again, about the importance of being Madonna and her true place in the greater scheme of things.

It's a bit difficult to take this sort of stuff seriously.

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

There you have it. Notice she liked Hillary, then she hated Hillary, now she likes her again. Not based on any substantive content of Hillary's positions, but based on....what? The nuances of Hillary's public persona? Come on. This is not serious thinking. It's People magazine, in polysyllables.

And that is why Paglia is fun to read but you don't take her too seriously, because she can say exactly the opposite thing next year.

She really is a bright, articulate, honest person, who is well-educated, but who lacks an intellectual center.

She could vote for Jesus today and Stalin tomorrow, and justify both votes in a 10,000 word essay.
