Sandra: "I know Andrea's been gone for a while now but, god bless her, she was never a looker." Love that line.

Sandra and Camille...my dream dinner guests!

[@AB-bt9eb]

Love both Sandra and Camille :) Amazing!!!

[@sar2972]

They had a falling out over Sarah Palin. I love both women but Camille has become way too critical over anything liberal while gushing over everything conservative, her fan base is mostly right wing people who just pick and chose her statements, never read her books, dont care about art.

[@AB-bt9eb]

I can't find any information saying that they had a falling our over Palin. Where did you see that? I can't imagine that.

[@AB-bt9eb]

Camille Paglia on where she stands on the liberal/conservative spectrum: What I don't like right now is that there's a kind of knee-jerk, intimidating way of calling someone "neoconservative" if they happen to criticize the liberal academic establishment--"Right, you're a neocon." Now, when people call me a neocon, what kind of idiots are they? I'm someone who is on the record as being pro-pornography--all the way through kiddie porn and snuff films. I'm pro-prostitution--I mean really pro, not just pro-prostitute and against prostitution. I'm pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-drag queens, pro-legalization of drugs. This is neoconservative? What kind of amateurishness is out there that people in the press--including The Village Voice and Mother Jones and things like that, which should be the voices of liberalism--what kind of stupid amateurish thinking is this to label me a neoconservative?

Camille herself recently complained about the lack of interesting debates on TV nowadays.

[@firouz4296]

Look at what women can be, what they can achieve ... and what we ended up with in todays media!

[@MrDLOC11]

Interesting both Camille & Sandy became parents late in their lesbo diva careers ....❤💙❤💙

[@dxmxo9427]

During the last interview I felt this tension and Awkwardness

[@joankersting2358]

So sad this garbage.

[@markkanga8799]

Oh really? You barely even formed a complete sentence. Being ignorant, small-minded and hate-filled won't hide that you have nothing interesting or intelligent to say.
