She didn't say Palin was a modern day Shakespeare. She said Palin represents a branch of feminism that has been ignored by the repressive orthodoxy of paleo-feminists like Gloria Steinem. Read the letters that follow on the next page and you will see why. Conservative, small-town, religious women connect with her. They see themselves in her in a way they could never see themselves in ideologically narrow-minded women like Steinem. I especially love how Paglia blasted Katie Couric, calling her out for the harpie that she is. What I like about Paglia is that she is intellectually honest.
Underestimate Palin at your own peril. Women like Paglia may be voting for Sarah Palin for President one day. Brooks has clearly bought into the liberal line that Palin is a frontier rube with no brains and no skills. Sure, he's a conservative, but he's also part of the Northeast elite professional class that Paglia loves to ridicule for its insularity and self-aggrandizment.
