I have a lot of respect for Camille Paglia.
Lot of respect. I’m down with that. In the interview she admits she pegged candidate Trump wrong, but kept an open mind so she could see the popular appeal of our guy. The other guy (Cohen) on the panel is still in denial and still bashing Trump supporters.
I say good for Andy Cohen and the NYT and Frank Bruni. Camille is calling President Trump’s re-election already and laying it at the feet of these bozos “overplaying their hands.”
She has that rare commodity that can command respect, even among the two or three liberals on the planet who possess it. Intellectual integrity.
Like you, I respect her for that, although she and I would disagree on many issues.
I’ve always enjoyed reading her opinion pieces but this is the first time I recall seeing her on video in some time. I don’t care how liberal her views are, it’s a free country, but I do respect her intellectual honesty. Rare amongst liberals despite how they love to trot out the “you’re not entitled to your own facts” mantra. The only “facts” they abide are those they make up, whereas Paglia lives in Realville.
They don’t even let her talk. The homosexual guy is just a list of clichés in search of an idea.
I like Paglia, too, but listening to her talk is like trying to get a drink of water from a fire hydrant.
