Camille Paglia hearts Sarah Palin
A good article for all those DUers who are under the mistaken impression that Paglia is a feminist. This should remove all doubt. She is, and has always been, a pretentious asshole.

2. we should publicize this
Paglia is despised by the right - her support of Palin will scare people away.

3. Surprised? Paglia is S&M and Palin's a sadist. No brainer.

4. Oh dear it might be more an MSM view of Palin she does seem harmless without the research...

Once Paglia sees the clip of Palin in church she may have a different view.

6. Paglia just has a schoolgirl crush on Palin; wants in her pants
Paglia is repulsive on so many levels it's hard to know where to start, but she really stinks like a bitch in heat on this one.

not welcome by the orthodox feminists at the time.
Thanks mostly to Germaine Greer and Griselda Pollock
it was made quite clear to women at my University that
any collaboration with male students and teachers,
however sympathetic to women's rights served only
to create competition for women in academia.

Griselda Pollock actually told me so to my face
after calling Terry Atkinson, an internationally
known figure in the Art and Language group, a
working class drunk.

So there you go. Now you have Camille Paglia the
most quoted feminist in world with the with the
largest audience and the darling of the RW.

According to Paglia, Palin is to be admired because
of her masculine aggression, her ability to play
and win according to men's rules.

Well Leni Riefenshtal was a feminist too according
to that standard and much admired in fascist circles.
