Barack Obama commands respect while Hillary Clinton overacts. Plus: John Edwards' disappearing act, Mary Shelley debunked, and Ann Coulter's gender weirdness.
  • Dear Salon:

    I am astonished - what breathless horseshit. I know you think it's cutting edge, and media-savvy, and that Ms. Paglia has her fans - but it's so awful, so completely shameless and intellectually dishonest, and I don't think you have a clue. It's one of the worst things I've read in Salon, right up there with Ms. Dickinson urging OJ to die.

    You have so many good writers; good lord - why?

    The utterly dismissive Hillary-bashing (potentially our first woman president, I've heard), hard up against the bizarre appeal for Coulter's feminist standing, is insane.

    Fox, Drudge, Limbaugh, faggot-baiting: Ms. Paglia is a true expert in praising with faint damnation. And Dear Editors - you don't seem to notice how many legitimate, horrific actions pass by her fickle gaze, unexamined, as she spews.

    Good luck with that.
