Here is what drives me crazy about people like her claiming that "every American has the right to express their opinion": Yes. You do. And you did express your opinion. And nobody censored you, everybody heard your answer. And then many of us chose to express our opinion that you are an idiot and a hypocrite. If you want your right to free speech, you have to take responsibility for what you say and understand that sometimes that will mean people criticizing you for it. #carrieprejeantheview
@Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: On 3 different shows she had the crazy eyed thing going on. At first I thought could it be drugs but now I'm just thinking it's some creepy Stepford transformation happening. #carrieprejeantheview
@Ineedmorecowbell: I think she's attempting to widen her eyes in an attempt to make her innocence appear more authentic? (if that makes sense? you know, how small children do it.) #carrieprejeantheview
HA! Withdrawal?! The show was on SUNDAY night! You're not supposed to start januaryjonesing until next MONDAY!
I am SO gonna miss wrecking all the surprises for myself by reading the posts on Monday before I watch the TiVoed version - I can NEVER stay awake passed 10 anymore. #rogersterling
Of course you're entitled to your opinion, Carrie! And since I am also entitled to free speech, I can call you a stupid bitch right now. This is AMERICA! #carrieprejeantheview
I agree 100% with this. My dad was a lawyer for 35 years and absolutely hated the last 15. He was always grumpy, never liked to do things with the family, and was, in general, a real prick. Now that he's retired he's MUCH more laid back and actually fun to be around.
Only one problem. That last 15 years he hated being a lawyer? That was my childhood. Thanks for that, legal profession. #rogersterling
Glad you posted this! I know its not directly relevent, but I have some new plot ideas that I thought of after the recap post:
Don's new company does the publicity/advertising for Henry Francis' boss' 1964 re-election campaign! I think it was NY Governor Rockafeller.
The original Sterling Cooper will shut down. When Don fired Sal, he said that losing Lucky Strikes will close them down. Well, they lost Lucky Strikes.
@Island of Misfit Toys: They're being absorbed. Basically all that means is that McCann-Erikson bought their accounts, and can choose to fire or keep the people working at S-C if they want to. They won't go under, but McCann-Erikson just won't have as many accounts as they thought they'd get. #rogersterling
For what its worth, Cooper's explanation of retirement is much more accurate to my grandfather's experience than the one pictured above. Not about the dying yet (Thank God), but the swift deline of abilities post-retirement? Totally. #rogersterling
@CherriSpryte: When my dad retired, he went around fixing things that weren't broken, breaking them in the process, so he would have to fix them. He broke my watch and ruined one of my rings when he tried to hammer it back into round. But he was happy.
He went back to work part-time, though, and then he died. #rogersterling
@girlleastlikelyto: Its definitely a "your mileage may vary" sort of thing. My grandfather also didn't retire til he was 78 - I think if he'd retired earlier, he'd've developed hobbies and things (even breaking and repairing things), rather than "sitting and watching Fox news on super-high volume on a gigantic flatscreen TV", which is pretty much what he does most days. #rogersterling
@Zombie Ms. Skittles: Big Love in early 2010! So, just get through the holidays, and then you can trade '60s smooth one-liners for prairie chic poly-drama. #rogersterling
"Free speech": Entitlement to a large public forum in which to broadcast one's views to an audience who will be universally accepting of said views. Also, the inalienable right to monetize one's speech in the form of book deals, radio and television contracts, etc., regardless of contract law or the business interests of others.
(Caveat: In limited supply. "Free speech" may be unavailable to the poor, the uneducated, the unattractive, and minorities.) #carrieprejeantheview
@colormeroutine: In front of any of the hosts! I mean... they run a daytime talk show. They do this every day, Prejean. And get lambasted for it, too. Methinks they kinda get it a little bit. You are not the only one this has happened to. #carrieprejeantheview
