She might also [Tell the Most Brazen Lies and Get Away With It](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=527365), but I’m not quite sure if she believes her own bullshit. ---

Yeah, no doubt. Who the fuck is she anyway? ---

She’s a [spiritual medium](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Browne). I have no information about any activities she may pursue as a sex worker, although at age 72 she would probably not be in great demand in the field (especially if she’s careless about personal hygiene). ---

Sylvia Browne, Uri Geller, Peter Popoff, and John Edward. Of the four, which one is the most cynically opportunist charlatan? ---

> [@SmashTheState](#): > > Sylvia Browne, Uri Geller, Peter Popoff, and John Edward. Of the four, which one is the most cynically opportunist charlatan? Gracious! Talk about advocating for death penalty. Honestly, Edward and Browne, **so far as I know** , may be 3 and 4 on this list. They may be dishonest pieces of shit, but their major sources of income \*\*that I know of \*\*all stem from sale of entertainment-ish services. They don’t ask for donations from poor people **that I know of**. By that standard–and, honestly, by most others–Popoff reigns supreme on this list. I pitted Browne simply because her Sarah Palin-like popularity churns my stomach. ---

Is she a happy medium? If so, you may _strike_ her. There’s lots of her ilk about, so she certainly isn’t _rare._ ---

I vote Edwards. He actually pretends he talks to the dead. Then gets people to part with money for a cheap parlor trick. He is the biggest douche of the 4.Perhaps the biggest in the universe. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sylvia-browne-is-a-dirty-stinking-whore/505960.md?page=2)
