Camille Paglia actually is sort of Randian but I suspect they’d have hated one another.
Perhaps you're right! Kind of funny to think about.
I don't know much about Paglia's personality, but I think I know quite a bit about that of Ayn Rand, who was very judgmental on a personal level, and had basically zero skills of personality and diplomacy.
Perhaps you've heard the story, told by William F. Buckley, of meeting Ayn Rand at a dinner party back in the 1950s.
Buckley had by that time made quite a name for himself with his book God and Man at Yale, which was strongly and unambiguously conservative in its message.
According to WFB, after he was introduced to Ms. Rand, the first thing she said to him was "you are much to intelligent to believe in God."
