Paglia says: women, don't vote for Hillary
Camille Paglia - outspoken lesbian and brilliant philosophy professor (I've always liked her because she doesn't march in lockstep with her political comrades - for instance, she is VERY opposed to the gay agenda of encouraging teens to declare their homosexuality) - weighs in on the eve of the Pennsylvania Democrat primary in Why Women Shouldn't Vote for Hillary Clinton.
Here's an interesting snippet:
Whatever her official feminist credo, Hillary's public career has glaringly been a subset to her husband's success. Despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make her mark.In Little Rock, every role that Hillary played was obtained via her husband's influence - from her position at the Rose Law Firm to her seat on the board of Wal-Mart to her advocacy for public education reform. In a pattern that would continue after Bill became president, Hillary would draw attention by expressing public "concern" for a problem, without ever being able to organise a programme for reform.
Failed the Washington, DC bar exam? Who knew?

I'm just back from a trip to the UK and read this article on the plane.
I wasn't familiar with Paglia, but found the article fascinating.
