What’s wrong with being aggressive? This is like the comment section equivalent of telling someone (female) to “calm down” just because they disagree. It’s patronizing and unnecessary. Somebody used the caps lock to emphasize their point? I think most of us here can deal with such “aggression” handily.

Sorry, I confess my sarcasm! Story goes that Gingrich (the Newt one) not only had an affair while his wife had cancer but had her served with divorce papers while in the hospital. I don’t recall if the affair was with the woman who is now his bird-like wife or with someone else. I’m not sure if the “papers served…

I posted a link of possible relevance but it’ll languish in the greys forever, I’m sure. Sigh. Here ‘tis again.

Another awesome Dollyism: “You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!” She always says when she was a little girl the women she thought were most beautiful were the “town tramps” (her words) with the most garish makeup, biggest hair, and sparkliest outfits. Love her.

Well, if it’s good enough for Gingrich, why not?

“Devil salad is eaten.” Hmm...

Just to be clear, the comments I've referenced, and her minimizing the sexual abuse in her family, are not things she "said in the past as a young woman." They're from the documentary mentioned earlier, made when she was 50 or 51, and from her new book. She's 53 today.

Well sure, all survivors are entitled to do whatever they need to do in a manner of speaking. Nevertheless I believe when a self-proclaimed "advocate" minimizes abuse she does a serious disservice to others who have similarly suffered. I hear what you're saying, that it's "not her job" to play victim's advocate for…

I saw it too. She herself is also a bit...interesting, which given the effed-upness of her family is maybe to be expected.

Maybe you don't care to say more or would have, but I'm interested if you do want to elaborate. I'm not a WW expert or anything but just sort of scanning my mind for the times I've seen her show, this isn't an impression I ever got. Her whole thing is celeb gossip, so of course she throws shade sometimes. But I…

Nancy Grace has been a guest on the Wendy show more than once. In that setting she comes across as a fairly normal person, albeit extraverted in a way I personally find annoying.

Why do you hate AND despise her? She tends to be pretty polarizing, I know, just curious if you have specific reasons.

Not for me, he doesn't. That tweet is obnoxious as hell. If he can't put down his effing phone for 5 seconds it seems more likely the cause is his own desperate need to feel relevant by constantly tweeting inane "jokes" like this one than that the person he's with is not sufficiently interesting.

Yep, I had a similar thought. Like Pat Nixon's "cloth coat."

I keep reading her name as "Charlatan." Which.

You sound like exactly the kind of, yes, WHITE person with a giant chip on your shoulder who might benefit from some honest discussion on the subject of race. Not at Starbucks, maybe. I think the campaign is stupid, myself. Not smug, just stupid.

I thought it was pretty well known and accepted by anybody paying attention that xoJane is where people go to submit an article so guaranteed "shocking" or "controversial" that lots and lots of other outlets will link to it and if they're lucky it'll go viral, effectively giving them their 15 minutes? Wouldn't…

Yep, I know that kind of person exists. It happened to me too (the threat part, not the part about manipulating into staying with — I got the hell outta there faster than you can say spit) and like you I know other people who have similar stories. No question it's a creepy tactic that is unfortunately not that…

Welp, guess I'll be that person... How do we know the guy is "no good"? Because they argued a lot and he slept in the hallway sometimes? Doesn't say that the woman or any of the neighbors "stepping over him" ever called the cops to have him thrown out, so I guess all these people were ok with him being around and all…

Wish her hair wasn't in her face, but I like it fine for a casual cover. Looks like Daryl Hannah.
