I'm pretty sure Paglia is bi, so maybe she can spot an impostor right away.
I've got two of her books - her writing is great!
Paglia also did some wonderful analysis on Palin when Palin arrived on the scene. She understood some of the unique, culturally primal forces that Palin exemplified. I got the feeling Paglia was more of a libertarian, so a little bit left, a little bit right...bi in the political sense you might say. I seem to remember she said she lives with a woman, so she may be bisexual theoretically, but in practice not so much. I’m not sure why she stopped writing her columns (only publishing one since 2009), but it appears she’s been working on an art book to be released this year.
