What really fried my grits was catching her as I was flipping through the
channels on the 700 Club (Pat Robertson's venue) telling all and sundry that
she was 'inspired to write her bio' just for the Christian audience and how
her shows are 'for Jesus'.........is there nothing this woman won't stop at.
I admit, she is enterprising, to get herself as far as she has with the
'talent' she has, but come on.....a show where she puts down more alcohol
than the Galloping Gourmet did in his sloshed days....and she says she's
'doing it for Jesus'..........please. I understand that she is whoring her
product (her shows, her book, her 'cookbooks', etc) but somewhere underneath
most whores have some sense of right and wrong, and this is just plain
wrong.
