Camille Paglia's 2009 Meltdown

Camille Paglia is an American author, social critic, liberal democrat and Obama supporter. Paglia, a self-described dissident feminist, has been a professor at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Pa. since 1984.

With a gushing school girl crush, she supported Obama. Less than 8 months after Obama was sworn in, she blasted him and his pals with jilted-lover fury: "tissue of hearsay and scattershot worst-case scenarios", "soulless collectivism", "blatant totalitarianism", "strange servility toward big government", "most colossal, brazen bait-and-switch operation", "Cloud Cuckoo Land", "chaotic, rapacious" solipsistic Congress", "juvenile tinhorns, bumbling mediocrities and crass bully boys", "Spanish Inquisition, dissidence is heresy", and our favorite; "Kafkaesque brave new world".

This is from her meltdown in her last column on August 12, 2009 in Salon Magazine's Town Hall. After this she abruptly abandoned her column, with no explanation. Enjoy!
