Though I rarely agree with her, her logical jujitsu often makes me at least question the assumptions underlying some key beliefs - and that's a good thing I don't do often enough. Sure, the whole 'who the hell does Lucien Harry think you are?'/'I am NOT his mother' business is just loony but then ever since she came out I have only thought of her as woman incredibly ashamed by her inconvenient sexual orientation. It's got to be hard being a heterophobe in a homo's body. As my dad would say, she's more to be pitied than scorned. (Especially since she hasn't half the clout she thinks she does.)
That alone mutes most of the chest-pounding she does in her columns and appearances.
She does raise some interesting issues regarding the degradation of language - though she unfairly harps on blogs alone for that. Camille, honey, do you have instant messenger? Listen to talk radio? Watch the Anna Nicole Smith show?
I admit it - I love Camille.

Talk about your degradation of language.
