[Magdalen] The Deen controversy

[Grace Cangialosi]

I don't care a thing about Ms. Deen, but I think the racial epithets may have been used publicly or they wouldn't have become an issue. That being said, I think her most recent gaffe should have been sufficient to convict.

I've read the story of her downfall once again, but I'm still unclear as to whether it was the use of racial epithets in the past alone, or that blended with her admittedly stupid handling of her explanation(s) (eg, the horrific Today Show scene).  I used racial epithets in the past; I was raised with them.  If I had a Food Network show today, would that be enough to bring me down, or would I also need to go on live TV and wail like Tammy Faye and her mascara as well?
