If she had phrased her comment as "Whatever hardships we are enduring are nothing compared to what our soldiers in Iraq are going through" would that have been better? I think it's what she meant.

And John Kerry didn't mean with his comments that our soldiers in Iraq are stupid, and that's why they are in Iraq! /sarc off

I'm questioning your apparent need to come to the defense of this liberal twit. I'm not understanding why you feel compelled to do so.

Oh I'm sure that's what her publicist will tell her to say.

No. But that was a different era compared to today.

Sad, but true.

Ah, now you're accusing me of defending a liberal, when I'm defending a woman who lost her house and people are deliberately trying to make something out of it that isn't there.

I guess I got my answer.

"I really think you might be off base with regards to her."

Thanks...I'll take my chances.

No, you made up your answer, just as you made up your mind to defend this liberal for making an inappropriate comment about our troops being in this war. You don't think the Islamo-facists won't find use for her comment? Be real.

Good grief... what a silly thing to pretend outrage about.

She was putting her loss in perspective of those with much bigger problems that her own. It was actually a fairly classy thing to say, especially at what must certainly be a stressful moment.

I don't know nor really care about her politics. But some people doth protest too much.

Wow, you're way out there, pal.

It was a fire; she lost her house; try to stick to the facts and not make them up to suit your myopic agenda.

You sure give her a lot of credit for being able to think that statement through in less than 12 hours.....

Did AP censor her Iraq comment?
Well they did it as I indicated by inserting .... so one could consider that censoring.

I did not think of that, but seeing a PR agent released it, clearly she is trying to get attention and work based on the Iraq comment.

Note to self:  post in haste; repent at leisure. Yes, perhaps Ms. Somers was just in shock at suddenly losing her fabulous house and uttered a phrase that admits of more than one interpretation. In the absence of clarification from her of exactly what she meant, it would perhaps be better to give her the benefit of the doubt, which I hereby do.

That's just not true; she made the statement to the gaggle of reporters when she got out of her car where her house had burned to the ground.

TMZ is playing fast and loose with the facts.

Click the link and watch the video.

SD in my view you're right on...
Three's Company" has-been Suzanne Somers, who makes her living as a motivational speaker, is very upset over the reviews she got from the New York theater critics who covered her one-woman show, "The Blonde in the Thunderbird."

"These men are curmudgeons, and maybe I went too close to the bone for them. I was lying there naked, and they decided to kick me and step on me, just like these visions you see in Iraq," said Somers, according to the New York Post.

Oh, boy. Another typical actress move. Yeah, let's compare my bad reviews to the war in Iraq.

Thanks. Support for my position seems to be sorely lacking today. So, I'm grateful for yours. I don't understand why some here feel the need to defend her comment simply because she lost one of her many homes in a fire. Sorry, but in my book, disasters do not give someone a free pass in knocking our country during a time of war.

You're welcome.

I don't like her ditzy statements in these two incidents,
but to be fair to her a little more research came up with this...
