Today brings us, (thanks to caped crusader Matt Drudge) news of an interview by Camille Paglia in Salon! If you're not a subscriber, you can watch a short ad (congrats on signing Visa, hey guys?) and get to it---and you should. Prof. Paglia is one of those folks you don't have to agree with to appreciate, here's a bite discussing Rush and his critics:

"Of course the newsmagazines never honestly covered Rush Limbaugh as a major force in American media and politics since the early '90s, but Newsweek finally put him on the cover for his drug scandal. That's fine -- it's breaking news -- but then shouldn't they have interviewed some longtime Rush fans who know the show? But who do they call? Maureen Dowd -- that catty, third-rate, wannabe sorority queen. She's such an empty vessel. One pleasure of reading the New York Times online is that I never have to see anything written by Maureen Dowd! I ignore her hypertext like spam for penis extenders."

It's not as good as an actual article, but it will have to do until we get one...
