I find Rand tragic.

She had a real opportunity to educate people about a proper relationship between people and their government, during a time of creeping totalitarianism and collectivism.

Sadly, she also wanted to create a cult.

The chapter about her in Brian Doherty's "Radicals for Capitalism" most certainly bore this out. My favorite part was when she sat her husband down and informed him that the Objectivist philosophy dictated that she should be allowed to bang her assistant.
