Camille Paglia on Obama, Madonna and Daniela Mercury
—
Aug. 13, 2008 | When in tarnation will those blasted presidential debates arrive? This excruciatingly long hiatus between the end of the primary season and the national conventions feels like running in mud.

As for the “surprise guest”, aren’t they just reinforcing the celebrity thing by bringing Barack out for a shout out? “Hillary Clinton rocked the house last night” Paging Arsenio. And more thing, I think Camille Paglia, a big Obama supporter, is on to something . Comments Name (required) Mail (will not be published) (required) Website
