She doesn't mention that Palin, maybe unwittingly, also endorsed Cheney's ludicrous theory of Vice Presidential power and the unitary executive.
True. Paglia is too intent on her own convoluted 'thesis'(if it can be so dignified) to bother with such trifles, as she would no doubt call them.
p.s. If you meant Kathy G. (which I now think you did): yes, she should have mentioned that.
