I'm very disappointed in her behavior. Although I didn't consider myself to be one of her fans, I tended to like the woman. She seemed quite friendly and pleasant (although she spread the Southern thing a little too thick at times).

She's about to get the smack down of her life when this trial is over. She already lost two of her sponsors and QVC is reviewing her contract with them. Supposedly she's a Democrat. Maybe this will make her reevaluate her life and evolve.
