[livejournal.com profile] fresne has a really good discussion of why Camille Paglia is wrong about Sarah Palin.

And if you're not familiar with what Paglia's been saying, the question is whether feminists should support Palin.

Even though her ego is way too big already,

I don't disagree with a lot of what Paglia says in that piece.

I don't object to Palin's style, or her family choices. I do have problems with her fundamentalism (Fresne says it well) and most of all with the fact that she has not yet made a national speech that she wrote, or faced a press conference. I'm concerned about the views she puts forth about Creationism, choice, global warming, the environment. Paglia questions whether she really holds the views imputed to her, but I haven't heard any protests from her about how she's represented on those counts.

Paglia is right about some problems with the Obama campaign. I'm worried, too. Where is James Carville when we need him?
