Well, Hush Your Mouth

The Washington Post's Eugene Robinson has a great column on cooking-with-cholesterol maven and Ol' Dixie life stylist Paula "I Paulagize" Deen's self-inflicted wounds, which have severely damaged her cooking and home style empire:

"She has spent her adult life in an America where black people are not compelled to be subservient to whites. She has made her fortune in an America where most people, white as well as black, consider warm-and-fuzzy nostalgia for the days of slavery and Jim Crow to be highly offensive.

I’ll put it in terms that someone who missed the last 50 years might understand: All black people are uppity now. Every one of us, I’m afraid."

Read his whole column here (hat tip to dear friend P.E.C. for pointing us to the column).  We saw clips of her interview with Matt Lauer, and aside from the self-pitying, defensive tone she took, we noticed that when she "cried," oddly there were no tears.  Just saying.
