Pot. Kettle. Black.
Well, someone's star is declining, but I'm not sure it's Madonna's. Madonna, hack that she is, will still always be Auntie Mame to Paglia's Agnes Gooch (Agnes Gooch?!?!). And Paglia herself is perhaps the biggest cannibal in the academy to date. HOW many times must she refernce her own work?
If anyone resembles the "pasty, powdered crumpet" of Bette Davis's Baby Jane, it's the decidely un-Dietrich-like Paglia, who--as this article demonstrates--is trying hard to convince herself and supposedly benighted Salon readers that she is relevant.
