Camille Paglia is the real deal. She bows to nobody, and she reads nobody’s “talking points”.
Her support of the empty suit Obama is a little disappointing, though.
yep, yep, yep, and yep.
Camille is one of the few libs that is fun to read. Not a braindead robot.
Pray for W, Lady Palin and Our Troops
Camille Paglia is undoubtedly a very gifted writer and a far reaching thinker on the leading edge of Feminism...I love her writing though i may not always agree with her views..Her intelectualism is always bright, honest, passionate, and on the mark...Bless her Italian roots, gotta love this lady for her intellectual honesty...Now if she could just change a few things, one or two....
And thank you Mrs Dingman and Mrs Rafuse, wherever you are...
Paglia needs to reexamine her motivations. On one hand, she savages academicians who are scurrilous pseudo-intellectuals, yet at the same time she embraces the Democrat party and their grotesque and repeated failures. If anything, Paglia should be fiercely independent, rejecting both parties.
It is not Todd Palin she is admiring, for he is just a piece of Sarah Palin’s revitalized feminism. But Paglia should examine what should be a modern adage, that “when women stand up, men sit down.”
Does Paglia expect a powerful woman from a meeching, hypocritical leader of NOW, more concerned with leftist politics than womens’ rights? Or the fanatical, arrogant Hillary Clinton, who is convinced that female power is found from dominating and crushing her enemies (real and imagined)?
Condoleeza Rice is far closer, yet has sacrificed her life for her mastery. More “Vulcan” as she is thought of in Washington, than human. Not everybody can be a genius.
Enter Sarah Palin, reflections of whom can be seen in many of America’s soccer moms. A college degree and a job, but children and everything else. Fortunate indeed to be married to a Todd Palin type man. Sometimes called “supermoms”, properly, they should be known as “superwomen”.
Husband and children optional. While not neglected, they are another part of a masterful woman’s life. A woman who can camp out and fend for herself, who can shoot a moose, drive a motorcycle, deal with a harsh winter, run for governor, etc. Now that is a feminist, and why so many women look up to her—because they want to have a life something like hers, perhaps less the moose.
She can hold political opinions very different from theirs, but she is clear and honest, not like the muddy men who speak in scripted and opaque babble. They know what she is, that she is not a fake.
And what is Obama? He is nothing BUT a fake. An “ackempucky”, the southern expression meaning something like “a bunch of unknown leftovers thrown into a bowl and stirred up, often with a jelly-like consistency.”
In his case, some falafel, some poi, a broken up Chicago hot dog with the works and plenty of mustard, some red cabbage, chitterlings, and a bowl full of US Senate bean soup with extra pork and saffron.
Put it in a blender with unflavored gelatin. Add hope and change.
I read where Tina Fey asked for someone to please tell her when she can stop doing this “ woman.” Well, to Tina I would say...Tina Dear, this is the United States of America. No one has twisted your arm to play Sarah Palin and no one can STOP you from playing Sarah Palin and no one can MAKE you play Sarah Palin. So, if you truly do not want to do her impersonation because you disagree or dislike her then...just do it. Oh...what’s that you say? You like the fame and the money? Oh yeah, that would come first before your own convictions....I forgot!

Not shocking at all.
Camille is attracted to strong women.
Camille has the hots for Madonna (or used to anyway), and now she has the hots for Sarah.
I’m from the Endicott and Oxford areas.....bet I know people that know Paglia....hmmmm
“Although nothing will sway my vote for Obama,...”
Translation: I know obama is a bag of crap but as a mindless liberal I HAVE to vote for him.
Good writer or not to say that nothing will change her vote for Obama is scary. By that does she mean not Ayers, or Obama’s 1996 Socialist party membership or Odinga or any of his other shady friends. Party above country or common sense?
