I didn’t hear that. If true, maybe the “sins of the past...”

It’s true. He admitted it in an interview years ago.

Agreed!

Since this thing with Paula Dean, my wife has stopped watching the Food Network. It is okay with me!

The nail in the coffin for me was when Robert Irvine lied on his resume, was fired, and then rehired. Apparently, lying on your resume isn’t as bad as a racist statement under duress and 30 years ago.

First she must shout to the world, “I wanna cut his nuts off”. Only then will she be a full member of the J J club.

Paula Deen, you have sunk down to a whole new level......

Wow. Okay. No sympathy for her if it is true.

This FReeper isn’t. I can’t stand Paula Deen, and am actually looking forward to walking through the cookware section of Wal-Mart without seeing her stupid face everywhere.

OTOH, I guess this means we won’t see the Paula Deen Signature defibrillator...

First they came and conquered Dennys for money and revenge. Now they come after Paula Deen for money and revenge. It is a continuing saga until some one says No More.

Paula, while researching her roots, discovered that she was related to Jackson.

Jackson asked just who this common ancestor was and Paula said she only knew he was a boat builder and was named Noah, but at least he wasn’t a slave owner.

That does it for me. If true Paula Deen can KMA.

Giving a Monica to Jesse Jackson is hitting the bottom of the barrel.

I don’t know. A dime is too much, in my opinion.

It’s Jackson that was the spitter! Not Paula.
