I can't explain why, but even though she's a lefty and a lesbian I am quite fond of Camille Paglia. I guess she's as close to the old term "the loyal opposition" as you can find nowadays. She is willing not only to critique the excesses and buffoonery of the left but is also capable of supporting the right in many instances. At the least she is an intellectually honest leftist, which is a rare bird indeed nowadays.

And she spent the whole interview subtly trying to "out" Drudge (or get him to out himself) and he wouldn't take the bait.

I adore Camille Paglia; witty, smart, abrasive; fabulous.

I agree. I've determined some of the things she's said to be nutty in my own personal opinion, but it's never the kind of stereotypical brain-dead stupid stuff from the left. She just sees the world in a different way sometimes, and I can accept that. She gives the conservative viewpoint the respect it deserves -- I'll give her viewpoint the respect it deserves.

She's a leftist-leaning libertarian. Also, the N.O.W. gang hate her for questioning their basic tenets, including women's "victim status."

She and Hitchens.

Tremendous intellects and scathing wit.

I like Camille Paglia too, possibly the last honest liberal..

The thing is, she is a damn good writer.
