Queen Hillary's disruptive court
The press corps finally wakes up to her waffling and evasions. Plus: Norman Mailer's largely forgotten legacy and our disappointing lesbian icons!
By Camille Paglia [2007-11-14]

    Gee whiz,

    Salon seems to have deleted my very short comment, which was entirely without profanity, where I suggested that debating whether Camille Paglia (who I've met, because my mom teaches with her, and who was a moron in person) ...um, where was I? Oh yeah! So Salon deleted my comment suggesting that debating over whether Camille was an idiot or not is the same as debating over whether Paris Hilton is talentless or not.

    You go, Salon! Freedom of speech is important, yeah? I write for your rival www.nerve.com, and I remember when your website actually used to contain news. I'm a liberal, and I hate G.W.B. as much as possible, but you seem to have settled just for that, yeah? No actual news, just various "Bush sucks" columns.

    Fire Joan Walsh, please, and replace her with Heather Havrilesky. I didn't even know that Joan was the editor in chief until I read it in this comment section, but, Jesus, she's in charge? Have you read her humorless, non-interesing blog? Go here:

    And spare me. Here's a link to my blog. I don't claim that it's good or interesting or anything. I get paid to write it, and that's that. But maybe it sucks. That's what separates me from the Joan Walshes and the Pagilas of the world: lack of excessive self-regard:
