After seeing her on TV last night, I've changed my opinion.
The comment about their husbands maybe divorcing them is being taken out of context. She was making the point that their only claim to authority is through their husbands, and if they would have been on the road to divorce, they might not have had any basis at all for all their noteriety. I didn't get that.
I also got a better handle on her outrage, and why she's hitting them in a way that will get some attention. It's not just about the book sales. I retract my criticisms.
By the way, I've noticed that many of the folks outraged about Ann's percieved ad hominem attacks often make disparing remarks on her weight. For the record, I think she looks great. Some people are tall and lean by nature, and not everyone overeats.
