One of my all-time favorite people, Miss Paglia.

She is a character, and right on about Art Deco!

I may not agree with her politics, but she is not only smart and honest. Proof, FTA: " I’m remaining a registered Democrat because I still hope for the reform of my party."
That is proof that she is an honest women.

I only occasionally agree with Ms. Paglia, but I'll read any column she writes.

She's a fool and a twit. She can vote for a Green Party nutjob but not Mitt Romney. Something to do with Newt and Santorum. Very deep and INTELLECTUAL. A fool.

Back in the day, I was a huge fan. She failed to make the transition to the new millenium, and I don't think she was even writing her own columns for a while.

OK I've scanned most of the Salon article here down to the political section and - this is just a confused old lesbian, this is not the same person who wrote Sexual Personae or all those great columns that made Salon respectable, back in the early days of the Interwebs.

She's still her biggest fan.

In the interview she's got good thoughts about the horror of Obamacare.

Her unique mix of ideologies is always refreshing.

If she's going for the green party she's voting for the THUG!

Not for the first (or even the hundredth time), I'm with #1.

Forget Camille Paglia's screwy politics. She is always entertainingly provocative. Reading her sinewy animadversions on the "prudish" feminists like Naomi Wolfe (with her new faux modest striptease of a "biography" of the vagina) causes me to put away anything liquid that I intend to gulp down my throat when Ms. Paglia's words might cause said liquid to spew painfully through my sinuses and into my keyboard.

From the interview: The anti-porn feminists have always been visual illiterates. If you’re used to looking at nudes in Greek sculpture and Renaissance, Baroque, and nineteenth century French painting, you’re not going to be that alarmed by what’s called pornography.

Those are not the words of a moralistic prude, to say the least! Christopher Hitchens, who like Ms. Paglia, is one whose spiritual proclivities I do not share. And yet these two oddly antagonistic intellectuals do not have to be correct to be illuminating or, especially, entertaining. Reading both, most of us can separate the chaff from the chaff, hoping to find a molecule of wheat somewhere in there. I say with a knowing wink that the process of discovery can be as entertaining as hell. As poet Wallace Stevens concluded in stately blank verse in "Sunday Morning": "Downward to darkness on extended wings." Those who are perishing can be beautiful, too. What a wonderful world.

The more Democrats she can convince to vote Green, the better for Romney!!

# 10--nice thoughts.

I was the world in which I walked...

Don't agree with all she says but as always she's interesting and thought provoking.

Her politics can be summarized as follows:

Dick Cheney is a war monger.
If I repeated the "no WMD found in Iraq" meme long enough, I might actually believe it.
It's my way on how the Democratic Party should be or I take my vote elsewhere to spite you.

In other words, she is a typical, not avantgarde leftist.

Refreshingly candid assessment of her own team, but still a conservative hating bigot. Note the torrent of facts and cultural allusions supporting every assertion, except for her bare expression of hatred for Cheney, Santorum and Gingrich.

I am so conservative that I can be called "far right" but I adore Camile Paglia. Her towering intellect simply overpowers anything and everything we may not like about her.

And I misspelled her name. Forgive me, Camille.
