memo to Paglia.
Great job.
You don’t have to agree with her, but her columns are informative and good reads.
Paglia is pretty much the only liberal feminist who ever writes anything worth reading. Even when she disagrees with what I consider to be the correct point of view, she still "gets it," something that a person like Hillary Clinton is utterly incapable of doing.
But as a friend tartly wrote to me this week
“a friendly tart wrote me this week”
She’s just as good in person, with an added dimension of speaking so eloquently and rapidly that listening to her is like trying to get a drink of water out of a fire hydrant.
“The aerial view of Trump at Burlingame gave me a moment of gender vertigo. His odd, brassy blonde hairdo, which I normally think of as a retro Bobby Rydell quiff, looked from behind like a smoothly backcombed 1960’s era woman’s bouffant. Shelley Winters flashed into my mind, and then it hit me: “It’s all about his mother!” I had never seen photos of Mary MacLeod Trump (who died at 88 in 2000) and immediately looked for them. Of course, there it was—the puffy blonde bouffant to which Trump pays daily homage in his impudent straw thatch. “
Lol.
The only thing I disagree with Camille about is her assertion that Trump running to his destination was like a Roman emperor being hidden among his Praetorian guard. In fact, if you watch it, he nimbly escapes from the car and warmly clasps one of the secret service agent's shoulders who helped him. Do you think the obscenity-spewing, don't-make-eye-contact-with-me-you-scum Hillary Clinton would have done that?
Go, Trump, go!
Oh, and it's his eye not his teeth, I believe, that are a problem for Kirk Douglas in The Vikings. Although who knew Paglia watched John Ford westerns???
pong
I’ve seen her give talks at the 92nd Street Y here in NYC. Exhausting but brilliant. Back in the 90s, I invited her to my private club to speak to the members. She was very generous with her time (we couldn’t pay her) and had to endure speaking to idiot people. I have several letters and signed books from her. She’s nice.
You DO have to agree with Camille, because she almost always right!
Although who knew Paglia watched John Ford westerns???
She sounds like she listens to Rush too.
She is a great writer and her art histories are awesome.
I would put her in the Steyn class. Would love to have
a conversation with her.
I’ve always gotten a kick out of this lady. She is an interesting read, no matter what.
And she was a very solid Sarah Palin fan when everyone was against the Gov.
She talks VERY fast. Her book Glittering Images is lovely.
Excellent simile.
She’s at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Just shoot her a letter or an email if she has one. She answered me, she’ll answer you.
Quite the well written smackdown there.
She’s the only lefty I can stand. Half of her brain is logical and incisive.
The other half—well, needs work. Still, she has always seen HRC for what she is.
Excellent.
