Molly Ivins on Camille Paglia

I have to confess, I like reading Camille Paglia. When it comes to sheer entertainment value, she can't be beat. Molly Ivins on Camille Paglia is hilarious:

One fashionable line of response to Paglia is to claim that even though she may be fundamentally off-base, she has ``flashes of brilliance.'' If so, I missed them in her oceans of swill.

Ouch. If newspapers want more readers, they need more writers like Mike Royko and Molly Ivins. May they rest in peace.
