Is she trying to buddy up with Trump by being this really hateful, rightwing idiot?

She is no idiot either so especially disappointing

do seem to go hand in hand.

She's an awful person and always has been, IMO.

I always thought she was mean. Always telling "jokes" about peoples' weight, looks and other things. Oddly though, I don't have a problem with people making fun of the way she looks now. I guess I need to shame myself for that.

Peace

She'll wither away.

I bet nobody visits her in the nursing home.

Boy has that been many decades ago.

She is a repugnant, hateful shell of a human now.

I was a professional musician for 30+ years and I played Joan's show 3 or 4 times. She was always this sweet little lady backstage. What the fuck happened to you, Joan?

18. Her humor has never impressed me

It isn't funny if you have to make fun at someone else's expense....Don Rickles (imho) was the same. Both must have had some major insecurity issues.

The fact that, despite her facelifts, her age clearly shows...says something about her as well yet she continues to perform.

As for her comments - disgusting/revolting are too kind of words.

It says something about the source of the interview that they even chose her to be interviewed.....

after she used his friendship and help, then stabbed him in the back. He never talked to her again from that moment on, even when she cried and wrung her hands in apology all over the mags and talk shows.

I believe he was mentoring her to become the first woman night show host, and had she not been so stupid and greedy, she might have made history; instead she peddles jewelry on cable and does bad insult shtick during the award ceremonies.

Shame.
