        It's an NSA plot to bury the story, I tell ya -- nm - Beryllium Jun 26, 14:02 1
        
        oo, supreme court in on conspiracy! (oh, this reminds me - I went to read about zinc and inflammation the other day; and I came across a site - b. Jun 26, 14:06
      - Seriously. -- nm - David Jun 26, 13:47

  - yep. she damaged her career, but it's not like she won't maintain a loyal core constituency....nm - x Jun 26, 13:34 3
    - I don't think she'll go broke - she's made so much over the years; but book sales and tours alone won't bring much new in for her. - b. Jun 26, 13:48 2
      - oh, it hurts her big, no doubt. i just think there'll be enough fans to sustain her... - x Jun 26, 13:57
      - her accountants are probably going crazy with all the deal cancellations -- nm - peglegpete Jun 26, 13:56
  - yes it was. she hasn't figured out how to say "I was wrong, but I've learned". That's what she NEEDS to say. -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:31 15
    - you get the sense that she really doesn't understand what she did wrong. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 26, 13:33 10
      - this, exactly. She's trying to say "But it wasn't so bad." -- nm - loosilu Jun 26, 13:33 9
        
        When will she realize how many lives she's ruined? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 26, 13:54 8
        
        that's your bar? - Mel Profit Jun 26, 14:06
        
        maybe not ruined, but a lot of people are losing their jobs because of her. there is consequence beyond her for the deals - b. Jun 26, 14:00
