As Paglia puts it, the “disparity of power…was one of the most grotesque ever,” and it would have been utterly inexcusable to feminists and Hillary herself in any workplace, except it was exploited in the service of a Democratic president.

That encapsulates it perfectly.

Camille Paglia doesn’t rant. She skewers incisively, much like a fencer.

I like Camille Paglia’s style, even when I disagree with her I have to give her props for not taking crap from anybody and always speaking forthrightly. Very interesting lady. Even if her lifestyle and beliefs include some that are quite different from mine, she calls a spade a f**king shovel, which I admire.

Hour long, I like Camille but rather read what she writes then listen to her talk.

A lesbian doing her dirty work against her own. Is this valid?

Any feminist lesbian who is **good buddies with Rush** is someone I’ll listen to.

“... Coattail rider and enabler of a sexual criminal ...”

Oh my, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone describe Hillary that way before. But I have to say I totally agree with the above statement.

I know her personally having spent several evenings conversing & sharing some good food & wine with her back in the 90s with a group of people. She’s intelligent, but a chaotic thinker, who more often than not comes across as a typical leftist. Great company though & she has guts going up against the worst elements of the left, but she is, in the end, very much a product of the left.

Oh, this I gotta hear.

This woman is off the hook awesome.

More intelkigent than me and deeply ascerbic as only someone with an incredible mind could be.

I’d also like to have her with me in a bar fight.

She doesn’t pull her punches for anyone.

Paglia’s just great. I disagree with her as much as I agree with her, but man alive, what a keen mind and sharp wit.

Back during the Clinton years—Whitewater days, WAAAY before Monica, I “found” both FR and Camille Paglia via Drudge. She was scathing to the hypocrisy of party only-D “good” -R “bad” shallow thinking of her fellow college professors. One of her earliest pieces I remember reading was about how Lyndon Johnson, in the US Senate in the late 50s blocked the Civil Rights Act (drafted by Rs) that he would late take credit for as President. She called out the re-writing of history. She earned my respect and she was in overdrive when the Lewinsky scandal hit.

She also is known for glowingly writing about savvy of “the working” classes who are looked down upon by the elitists who claim to politically represent the “little guy.” She suffers no fools or their hypocrisy.

I, too, prefer Paglia's writing over her speech - it's far more disciplined and edgy. And it is honest and I read it whenever I get the opportunity.

With the Clintons we have a remarkably alarming case of what political power, its temptations, and the demands of its accession, can do to what might otherwise be relatively normal people. Neither one is remotely describable as normal; indeed, BJ Billy's political genius consists in a very convincing ability to fake it.

Not so She Who Must Not Be Named, who possesses a shriveled soul and no particular ability to discern it or desire to hide it. Her world conforms to her, and those parts of it that don't are to be destroyed. Such victims of a monomania for power always pay for it in the end, but the rest of us tend to pay for it first.
