Hopefully clicking it would lead directly to the PP donation page.

Komen deserves zero dollars from everybody.

but I am curious now as to how they "set the record straight"...I wonder what spin they could possibly put on it that isn't straight up "Hi, I am the new lady in charge and I don't like choice. So fuck poor women."

The clip of her rhetoric is clear justification for birth control.

That means she is either 1) a witch (an evil one), 2) an idiot, or 3) a Stepford wife.

She is numbers 1) and 3). A real winner.

She may be facing breech of contract with a major studio
for failing to appear on set for her role in the remake of "The Stepford Wives."
Apparently the studio executives have seen the video and want an explanation
as to why she is revealing protected material from the script.

...and a breast cancer survivor herself.

Today, I'm really feeling bad for the late Susan Goodman Komen. Her name is getting dragged through the mud through no fault of her own.

And she gets paid a half million a year? I'd say she's not earning her pay, with that crap she's spouting.

Good for Mayor Bloomberg, though--he's the one who made that quarter million dollar donation to Planned Parenthood.

As for Susan, she's not feeling any pain. The ones who are feeling the pain--or who would, if this foundation's ploy met with success--are the poor denied access to services through some of the only outlets that would have them.

Seriously, this lady looks like something Comedy Central would cook up and post as a joke. All she needs is a riding crop and it will be complete.
