This is why Camille Paglia pisses me off

Posted at November 8, 2006 2:54 PM in National Politics .

Writing about Speaker Pelosi in Salon, La Paglia says:

Though I've sometimes despaired at her girly, wide-eyed Marlo Thomas mannerisms, Pelosi has proved her toughness by her staying power and her deftness in outmaneuvering her rivals.

Why does Paglia find being girly incompatible with success? A woman doesn't have to wear flannel and overalls to have feminist street cred. She looks good in front of the camera. She charms Letterman well. She's a Bay Area babe and I'm very glad she's in charge.
