"What would Jesus have done?" is hardly a question I would have ever imagined Naomi taking too seriously, but apparently she is now! Did you hear that she’s found Jesus/God too?

It is very girlish, both in pitch and tone, and some of phrases are on the adolscent side. It actually did undermine the content of what she was saying. I suppose this is why she drives people like Camille Paglia bonkers. On the other hand tho she did slap Ryan around the place a little for using "reductive" terms and made it clear that men, as well as women, were besotted with Clinton.

I haven't read her book: but what came out from the interview is that she still persists in trying to find new ways of overthrowing old (patricarchal) orders and myths. In Ireland we seem to have forgotten that women are so under-represented politically, in equal pay terms and in respect of control over their reproductive rights - instead of engaging on any of these issues (above) Naomi gets the blame for Ryan's shoddy interviewing and is the victim of an ad hominum attack for how she laughs. Wow!! Progressive stuff. Who needs a feminist revolution after all? Naomi Wolf may well have got a closed minded, fluffy interview from Ryan Tubridy.

I was unfortunate enough to see her on TV3's early morning program and hear her "Hyuhh, hyuuh, hyuuh" laugh and her many "Omigods". Then I heard Ryan Tubridy interview her and thought at least he got her a little ruffled, but not much. I liked him talking about Bill Clinton with his trousers around his ankles in the Oval Office with a young intern. I'd say, all in all, that Naomi is just another JAP, as the term is used in New York City and along the Atlantic coast of Florida.
