If Emily Latella is the Gilda Radner character...that was the first quote that came to my mind as well.

I will be greatly surprised if PD ever rises to the level she was. What a shame. This could happen to anybody.

Hey! I was just watching Martha make soup for a while.

Doesn't hurt to reinforce proper techniques.

She does look a bit long in the tooth, but at least she doesn't cackle.

She can through the Internet. #1 she is not giving away 70% of her profit to superstores who will bail on you at the drop of a hat. #2 she has her own base of customers who “she” created through personal branding. I had to do it myself on a much smaller scale, but online sales saved my company when distributors bailed for Chinese copycat garbage. She can kick their ass.

That is an excellent point. One I hadn’t thought of. It could well work out to her benefit in the long run.

I'd like to see how the ChiComs react to "well bless your heart" from Ms Deen or other Southern women !!

I agree, however all the crap she has experienced is uncalled for, regardless her politics.
