    I'd like to focus on the rest of the quote, but unfortunately I cannot get over her awkward use of the word "shibboleth" in that context. #nancypelosicamillepaglia

    "a woman can be just as gritty, ruthless and arm-twisting in pursuing her agenda as anyone"

    I'm confused...what defines anyone? Because shouldn't she just come right out and say men? Since when did women become so much of the "other"? It's like she's trying to lessen the sexist blow of this statement. Using "anyone" makes it sounds like women are some sort of special breed of human.

    Oh wait, was that the point? #nancypelosicamillepaglia

    "In terms of redefining the persona for female authority and leadership, Palin has made the biggest step forward in feminism since Madonna channeled the dominatrix persona of high-glam Marlene Dietrich and rammed pro-sex, pro-beauty feminism down the throats of the prissy, victim-mongering, philistine feminist establishment."

    @PilgrimSoul: Unfortunately, I don't have my Paglia books with me, so I'll just have to improvise my contribution to this quote-fest:

    "Appollonian yada yada Dionysian blah blah. **~The Sixties!!~** - don't 'cha wish your decade was artistically & intellectually ideal like mine? Why, unlike most women, I am brilliant. I I me me I I me. Blah blah Chthonian! Fuck you, Gloria. Yada yada penis rules & makes skyscrapers, vagina drools and makes grass huts. Fuck you, Naomi. You too, Mackinnon. If it wasn't for you bitches I'd be teaching at Yale instead of some Philly backwater. Blah blah every writer in the Western canon is clearly a sadomasochistic pornographer. Something that doesn't make sense, but makes me sound like a "contrarian". Why won't Madonna return my phone calls? I've left at least 50 messages on her voicemail in which I breathe heavily and ramble suggestively about her sexual personae."

    Oh, Camille, desperately trying to stay relevant 20 years past her prime. Maybe she got tired of wishing she were Madonna's tampon?

    The hilarious thing about the birthers is... what kind of outcome are they seeking? What if they were right and Obama wasn't a citizen - do they think McCain gets to be president by default?

    I wish Camille Paglia would stop commenting on politics and get back to what she does best: deliriously unhinged, purple prose literary criticism in which she attempts to prove that Emily Dickinson was really a "self-ruling hermaphrodite" and latter day Marquis de Sade or that Michelangelo is a pornographer & the Pope is a collector of porn.

    That stuff kept me entertained for hours when I was in college and reading it provided a good imitation of being high on primo acid for a tenth of the price.

    @PilgrimSoul: Don't forget the science majors. Her theory that the transcendent arc of male urine streams as compared to the pathetic downward trickle produced by women explains greater male achievement throughout history really brought the lulz when we were covering evolutionary biology.

    @la.donna.pietra: My favorite part of that phase in Camille's career was Madonna's comment that she found Camille's reams of writing about her "very amusing".

    "There may be racism among it, but there are legitimate questions about the documentation of Obama's birth certificate."

    Something about that sentence seems off, grammatically-speaking. Am I wrong or does it sound odd? It's bugging me.

    @Tchotchke: I'll give her the benefit of the doubt about grammar as this is from a transcript, so she was speaking not writing. I'm sure if she were writing that she'd get it right. She may be a total nut-job but she can string a good sentence together.

    I wish that she had elaborated on what she thinks are "legitimate" questions about the birth certificate though.
