By the end of this week, when the racist glimmer dust has settled and
the fat has coagulated, Paula Deen will be a ruined woman. She'll be
the Hester Prynne of fried food, the Tess d'Urbervilles of
cholesterol. She's already been forsaken by Target, Novo Nordisk,
Walmart, Caesar's Palace and millions of non-racist fans. She wept on
Today and couldn't even get her subject and verbs to agree. "I is what
I is," she said tearfully, channeling both George Gershwin and Popeye.
