Is Camille Paglia your favorite liberal?

She is mine.

"Then it was the stunt of unnerving Wall Street by sending out a shrill duo of slick geeks (Timothy Geithner and Peter Orszag) as the administration's weirdly adolescent spokesmen on economics. Who could ever have confidence in that sorry pair?"

Here is the rest of her great column this month:

Update:

Serious question. Thanks for all serious answers, and I'm not giving the thumbs downs.

    I liked her when she was on Phil Donahue and I think she is an interesting Libertarian-Liberal thinker when we need more feminists like her. She stood up to a lot of feminists bullies like Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon during the mid-90's anti-porn witchhunt and she should be lauded for her efforts. She is pro-sex, pro-porn, pro-football, so yes she is worth taking a reading and a look at. She is profound though I do not always agree with her.

    "in this climate, it incredibly is egocentric and shortsighted for liberals to without delay define faith as a social situation that desires suppression or eradication." that's short-sighted to no longer define faith as a situation by way of fact as long as faith exists so will non secular extremism. a quick term alliance with some non secular human beings ought to be effective yet in basic terms in a "the enemy of my enemy is my pal" sort of way (e.g. getting liberal Christians to combat creationalist idiots) and there left is infested with people who look no longer understand who the enemy actual is (i.e. they think of that capitalism is the enemy that's why they best pal with the Islamic terrorists (since Islamic fundamentalism is with regard to the only challenge that still opposes capatilism)). nonetheless suppression of religion is something which you have have been given have been given to be careful of, that's particularly hassle-free to get non secular nutcases to be violent, to no longer point out that if we don't win by employing persuasion we can't particularly say to have won.

    Not particularly. She's too rabid for me on a lot of issues. She is an interesting speaker though.
