jenny McCarthy needs to quit smoking crack.
And Oprah needs to stop funding these crackpots and raising them to the level of "expert" in the eyes of her followers. With great power comes great responsibiliy, Ms. Winfrey.
Oprah was on the cover of Newsweek a couple months ago for her effusive endorsements of crackpot theorists in the fields of health and spirituality. It was called "Crazy Talk: Oprah, Wacky Cures, And You". Oprah denies the allegations, but it seems to be an outgrowth of her own traumatic youth (she was repeatedly sexually abused by a family member as a girl and gave birth to the man's child at 14; the baby lived about 12 hours).
She always seems to be seeking something, and to have a lack of critical thinking. It's gotten worse as her eating has gotten worse, indicating the two are linked-she's drowned her sorrows in food since her teen years and has yo-yo dieted for decades. Oprah really isn't in the position to give anybody advice, but millions view her word as gospel. She's gotten so bad that her talk show is really hurting in the ratings-she's no longer #1 in daytime TV, having ceded the position to one of the numerous courtroom shows. She is obsessed with Obama to the point that his wife has gotten concerned about it, and she's reportedly losing most of her friends because all she can talk about is him.
She is a sad sack, and she needs to stop letting these weirdos loose on the world then walking away from the consequences. Jenny is doing lasting damage to autism rights, but Oprah can't get enough of her and wants to give her her own show now that she's been dumped by Dr. Phil and kitchen queen Rachael Ray.
