She makes me feel better about myself. ---

I suppose it’s appropriate she got toasted at a roast in Hell’s Kitchen. After her previous history, I’m amazed they thought giving her free liquor while taunting her would be a good idea. How could anything go wrong? ---

I can’t believe that she’s only 44 (i.e. my age). ---

I like this bit > [@](#): > > “I kinda figured it might happen, so we came up with a code word. It was ‘Christmas,’ ” del Rio said. > > “After about five minutes, we were just about screaming ‘Christmas!’ and security took her out.” ---

My favorite part is this: > [@](#): > > Apparently attempting to offer evidence she hadn’t been sloshed, she shouted, “Look, I’m falling down, and I’m not even drunk.” Also > [@](#): > > . . . her medication hit in at 4, and then she came out at 9 p.m. she was drinking. That woman is one big piece of distressed leather. ---

Any attention is good attention, eh Pat? :dubious: The funniest part of her entire story, well besides the fact that she doesn’t seem even slightly self-aware of what a tremendous joke she is seen as; was when she offered herself up to Playboy (!!!) and they said NO. ---

I’d feel sorry for her husband the doormat, but he could leave. I really do feel bad for the daughter. ---
