My measured response...

She is zany and the New World Order has already infected her psyche.

She was an idiot to believe it was "objective" to condone and (for a time) actually *encourage* her ex-husband Nathaniel's torrid affair with Ayn Rand.

Then she became a mixed-up sot and began hitting the bottle a little too hard.

Then she attempted to paint "The Collective" (the in joke for the name of the New York group that met weekly with Rand to socialize with her in her Manhattan apartment -- one of the "collective" being a young Alan Greenspan) as a morose group of intellectual robots kowtowing to Rand's pontifications. A weirdly twisted view of the true environment.

She gabs on excitingly about books that have "brainwashed" her.

From an interview about the filming of her book, The Passion of Ayn Rand:

Q: From the write-ups that have been given, the movie for Showtime seems to focus almost exclusively on the romantic quadrangle. Won’t that give a distorted view of Rand’s life, thought, and achievements?

Barbara: I was pleased. What I saw was a fair and accurate.

Q: So you were happy with the final script?

Barbara: I was delighted.

[My comment: Hahahaha!]

Her website failed due to lack of focus, philosophically jumbled rambling and finger-pointing. Her "intellectual" discussions might entrance a studio of zoned-out soccer moms packing Oprah Winfrey's audience.
