The question then is this. It seems to me (cries at the back, don't be so pompous)- ahem, there is a phenomena out there.
The more successful some people are, the more great gifts their country has given them ie: fame, money,the adulation of the masses, the favour of lax enforcement on THEIR trangressions, the more they hate America.
For starters, Moore, Fonda, Baldwin, and so on. She could have joined em',got that cabal to rant on her behalf, but has too much class. IMHO
The fact that she did not join those you write of says a lot about her style. I'm glad she is out of prison, and I'm glad she got the sentence over with. Too many times we look the other way when a "famous" person is caught stealing the cookies. She got caught, she lied about it, and she took her lumps like a real person would. Is she a role model for all of us? I think not. Should she be denied a chance at her own redemption? I hope not, and I hope she realizes the effect she has had on those of us who will never be "famous". I was more disappointed in her actions than I was mad about it, and she paid the piper, so that's it as far as I'm concerned.
