YES! I've been seeing an awful lot of this from the Paula Deen defenders.

Yeah, I am usually a 10 or a 12 and I can't wear anything at H&M.

I can't believe people actually DO that! Once I was buying three cases of pop and the cashier pointed out that they were buy one get one free. I said oh well, too late now, and shrugged it off but she INSISTED on going to get the additional case for me. I felt like such an asshole standing there while she did…

Yes! I have proven that to be impossible for myself over and over. Tomorrow will be 10 weeks for me!

Mid-Michigan girl here - you can find every one of the racists listed above in my region.

Just coming here to say that...

Oh for the love of God. I just lost all respect for Anthony Bourdain. Not only is the conversation atrocious, he is having it with TED NUGENT.

I have a rescued pit bull who is a total sweetheart. She even wore a sweater I made for her until she snagged it on some tree branches and it unraveled. She is great with kids, and great with other dogs her size. We put her in a kennel when we go out of town and everyone there loves her as well. The key seems to be…

My guess is that she truly does not believe that what her and her brother said was wrong in any way.

I've been wondering when the mainstream media was going to start covering this. I don't think her no-show here is really going to help her public image.

I didn't know about her. Now I think it would have been interesting if the story were told from her point of view.

Ok, I know if this comment ever comes out of the gray I'm going to get slammed, but here it goes - this is my story.

She is only 66-years-old, and likely has plenty of years left in the media spotlight...

I seriously just learned about it in the comments here, but I agree it renders this column useless!

Well, I can see after some Googling that there are actually several sources reporting on this. I guess I underestimated the National Enquirer!

No, it was not good.

Yes, you are absolutely right! However... I have to admit that I typically consider Jezebel to be a more reliable source than the National Enquirer, Dirt Bag or not. I realize this is probably somewhat foolish of me, considering that we are talking about Dirt Bag, but based on the tone of the comments on this…

Yes, she was on that show. She was "shocked" to find out that her ancestors owned slaves.

I think if that highly publicized crazy talking Twitter account was not really her, someone (Amanda herself?) would come forward and say so, no?

Yeah... I've honestly been wondering why everyone isn't outraged over this Johnny Depp as Tonto thing myself. Does everyone know something I'm not aware of? I'm pretty sure this is what she was trying to express in her Tweet.
