Kathi Lee Gifford - still bugging the crap out of me

So Heather was on the Today Show today! Which rocks and she totally deserves it. And they had footage from a BlogHer conference. Guess they've been holding onto that for awhile. And Mir and Kristen and the SV Mom's Blog lady was there. All deserved.

HERE IS WHAT BUGS ME!!! Who, I ask you, WHO, used to blab about her kids ON THE AIR, ALL THE TIME?

KATHI LEE GIFFORD, that is who!

To the point that - it was awkward. It was uncomfortable. I STILL do not want to hear one iota more about Cody Cody Cody. Gah.

And WHO is the one saying she is uncomfortable with Heather blogging about her child? KATHI LEE GIFFORD, that is who. Hm, there was something that bothered her about it, she wasn't sure what. MAYBE THAT IT WAS SO FAMILIAR??!!! Gah!

Yes, I am talking in all caps. Yes,I know that means I am yelling. Yes, I THINK IT'S WARRANTED. Hypocrisy. In all its forms. Starting with - it's okay for me to blab all about my kids ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, but, ugh, I don't like YOU writing about YOUR KID online. Ick.

(And, yes, I have been silent on my blog for three months. And, yes, coming to Heather's defense will bring me back anytime. ANYTIME.)

(Also PS - I can't even remember how to imbed links anymore. Or, maybe I could, but I have one kid hungry and another thirsty, so let's just do this:

Heather = dooce.com
Mir = wouldashoulda.com
Kirsten = motherhooduncensored
SV Mom Blog = SV Mom Blog : )

And, I suspect, none of you need that help anyway.)


Oh, and also: today.com and click through the arrows in the top section until you see Heather's pretty face and click on that.

AND IF YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, I CAN'T HELP YOU.


(PPS (as we said in junior high, I don't think "PPS" means anything actually) - if it's not already apparent, on this interview with Heather, Kathi Lee Gifford asked a few questions about Heather, and then started saying how uncomfortable she was with Heather blogging about Leta, her daughter, online. There was, you know, something that bothered her about it, she wasn't sure what. I could have jumped through the computer screen and shook her, that comment made me so annoyed. At her blithe HYPOCRISY. Now you don't even need to go to the Today show website to see it in person. But do, because she's so annoying, and Heather did so great. If we have to have a blog representative, it ought to be Heather, don't you think?)

Fourth Addendum (law school has to kick in somewhere, right?): You would never know, by the way first I complained, and only THEN did I explain what the heck I was talking about, that I've done all kinds of journalism, would you? I think that violates a few rules. (But then, there probably aren't any left anyway, thank you Fox "news".)
