Prolific doesn't mean she's any good at what she does. She just does it louder and in a more obnoxious manner than most. She's the epitome of dumbing down in this country. > > who I had mistakenly concluded was some sort of comic parody > > That's Sandra Lee, at least IMNSHO.

Nothing there says serious to me. She's an idiot who talks a lot more than she needs to. > > Anyway, I have now been set right.

I don't see Tony Shalhoub out there hawking anti-bacterial soaps, or Jerry Springer trying to push shoe inserts to make walking/dancing easier, or Jeff Probst telling us about one sunscreen or another. You got a jones for that bubble-butt, whiskey-plus-2 packs-a-day-voiced wonder? >Food Network sells commercials. Rachael sells > various products that she endorses. Well, I'm not buying.

Point at anyone in the ng who is obsessed with posting about her for starters.
