Camille Paglia: Palin's speech was "best ever" by an American woman politician

[washingdem]

“We may be seeing the first woman president. As a Democrat, I am reeling,” said Camille Paglia, the cultural critic. “That was the best political speech I have ever seen delivered by an American woman politician. Palin is as tough as nails.”

1. OMG- Paglia has jumped the shark.

I really have trouble believing that...

[JCMach1]

20. She jumped it years ago

[bidenista]

2. Paglia is as dumb as slugs. nt

[1corona4u]

3. Oh, puleeezzzee...

what a crock of shit.

[highplainsdem]

4. More proof Paglia's a fool. But many here loved her when she attacked Hillary.

[jonnyblitz]

13. haha, my EXACT thoughts. Sadly, many here love "Bareback

Andy" (Andrew Sullivan) for the similar reasons. He is another POS like Paglia.

22. Primaries are over, dude.

Let it go.

5. Democrat my ass! Paglia was for Bush in 2000 and 2004, as I recall.

'Nuff said.

[Avalux]

6. LOL. McCain's speech writer penned it. If she's that verklempt, she should thank HIM.

:rofl:

[tridim]

7. Well, one benefit of Palin is that she's exposing the GOP-MSM partnership.

Statements like this are so over the top and so full of bullshit that it should be obvious to even the most conservative viewers.

[Colobo]

8. Stupid indeed.

[blondeatlast]

9. Camille Paglia; the world's foremost self-loathimg "feminist." nt

[yourguide]

10. HRC gave a stunning speech on tuesday

she took the second rate Miss Alaska to the mat.

[NYCGirl]

11. Sounds like Camille's in love again. I guess it's over for Madonna. NT

[sarge43]

12. As compared to Barbara Jordan's to the House Judiciary during Nixon's

impeachment hearings?

I don't use this word lightly, but Paglia sweetie, you're a ho.

[CherokeeDem]

17. Couldn't Have Put It Better Myself...

this delusional woman has been a "ho" for a long time. Her twisted perspective on feminism has been evident for years. She suffers from the "Peggy Noonan Syndrome", a self-loving need to hear her own opinions.

15. I just saw Camilla Paglia's name

and I got sick. Then I read what she said.

"As a Democrat, I am reeling"

Democrat? BULLSHIT

:puke:

[Giant Robot]

18. I never understood Paglia'a appeal anyway

She gets clout among the intelligentsia, but I guess I just never got her. Sounds more like her version of Tweety's man crush on Fred Thompson.

[No Elephants]

19. She must have kept a stash from the Sixties. Best speech ever by a female

candidate for Student Council, maybe. Maybe not even that. Lots of very smart females in high schools.

[terrya]

21. Does this surprise anyone, really?

I've always thought Camille Paglia was a right winger. This just proves it.

[Imagevision]

23. BS! even Geraldine Ferraro blew Palin away and I can't stand her anymore...

[qanda]

24. I wonder if she could send me a copy of the speech she heard

Maybe we didn't hear the same one.

[vanderBeth]

25. I think this just proves that Camilla Paglia is a hack.

The only reason she's around is for the "shock" value she produces in her self-promoting.

[grantcart]

26. Even her mother isn't convinced lol
