…met her a couple times, very nice, very neurotic.
Also, I have post in the filter.
That Paglia piece is a remarkably rational and sensible piece of work.
Sarah Palin is representative of millions of American women…married, mother, talented, busy, smart and conservative. Paglia is just finding out that these “unusual” people actually exist! That has far more to do with Camille Paglia’s circle of friends than with Palin’s astonishing nature.
Finally! A rational statement from the left!
You’re right; I do disagree with a lot of what Paglia has written, but I wholeheartedly applaud this short piece. As Paglia points out, both feminism and the Democratic party have become religions unto themselves, religions that cannot tolerate a single dissident voice. First it was Harry Belafonte calling Colin Powell a “house nigger”, and now it’s the torrent of abuse both feminists and Democrats have been pouring on Sarah Palin.
The liberals have made their point loud and clear: a person is not an “authentic” black or an “authentic” female unless that black or that female is a card carrying Democrat. What a shame their vision has become so constricted.
Oh but, but, Joe Biden say’s a vote for Sarah Palin will be a step backward’s for women!
Joe Biden is as unhinged as Obama.
I’m very suprised that Paglia considers this a brand new style of feminism she’s never seen before. I have worked with hard working, no-nonsense, humorous women just like Sarah Palin for many years. My sisters and nieces and daughter in law are forward thinking professional women just like Sarah Palin. My customers are “muscular” executive women just like Sarah Palin.
It’s amazing that so many people who write for a national or even international audience don’t have the slightest clue about half of the people in their own country.
Eleni: You make an excellent point. Sarah Palin is such a huge hit because she is someone that so many women around the country can identify with. And the elites who are out to destory her are just showing the contempt that they hold towards ALL of us when they attack her.
These libs live in a bubble inside the comfort zones of the big cities and hardly know the first thing about the good decent people across this great land whose lives are so different from theirs.

All these ridiculous apologies for stupididty in a candidate, just because she’s a woman, and (in way beyond irrelevant) Ms Anything To Be Contrary and Stupid Depaglia’s estimation: “sexy”, are already quite dated and embarrassingly WRONG by now , aren’t they?
Tim: Hate is an ugly thing. Yet you and your kind offer NOTHING ELSE. You can’t give anyone any HONEST reason to support your candidate except empty slogans about “change” and “hope” so you come here and slime a good woman and a great candidate.
Stow it buckoo…
Mike is a true master of unintended irony. How many people here think a gated golf course community – like the one Mike lives in – really represents the real world?
Nit Wit: I’m the FIRST to say that the golf community I live in is far outside of the average American reality.
But if you knew my history, you would also know that I worked on statewide campaigns in Ohio where I traveled from county to county (I probably hit about a third of Ohio’s 88 counties) working on behalf of my candidate and a state constitution referendum.
Is that real world enough for you?
I’ve also lived in both New York and Washington and I have been inside the liberal bubble that people like you use to insulate themselves from reality.
So, unless you have anything useful to contribute to this discussion, I’d advise you to stow the insults.
