How can anyone be surprised? She's a traditional southern girl, and that's not a compliment. Her brother Bubba was once quoted after the BP spill as saying that Obama should go there and "n rig" it. Her current husband is a teabagger and idiot redneck.
 
How do I put it, it's not that they all look and act like her. But there are soo many they wear it like a badge of honor.
Kinda like a redneck requirement of having a pickup truck

It's something about that false veneer of downhomeness...she's a shark. I'm not the least bit surprised by this, nor by the fact that apparently her typical "fan" believes that "everyone" says that word.

I'm not calling ny utopia, but I'd bet you'd here it exponentially more down south.
 
Her food was disgusting.

"Let's make us some butter creme filled butter bars with a side of butter!"

No wonder that fat racist pig was diabetic.
 
Come on fellas what's better than a southern conservative belle saying of course to the lawyer asking if she ever used the N word.
 
Let me preface this by saying that I can't stand Paula Deen. I'd rather be in a room line with chalk boards and a dozen long finger nailed gals scratching on them than to hear her grating voice. I watch a lot of Food Network but never watch any of her shows. I like southern cooking but hers is over the top most of the time (anyone ever see the commercial with the Buttertons) and way too rich even for me.

I bet Paula comes out of this ok, even with being fired. I am 47 and growing up where I have I have, I have heard, used and even had pets named what is referred to now as the "n-word." I do not use it now and haven't in several (several being 28+ years...pinpointed because of college where I saw really have offensive it was) years. I would have had to answer "yes" to the same question though. I don't know if in her answer she was indicating the same sort of thing as me but I might assume it could be. You know she had to have heard and probably used that language or word during the time she has lived. Talk about one of those danged if you do and danged if you don't situations.

Whatever, I couldn't help but notice that at the end of the original article the people buying her products and eating at her restaurants seemed to be forgiving...or at least indicating that she wasn't the one they were eating at the restaurant/buying products for. I think about whatshername who served time and is doing ok now. It will be similar, I think. Besides, by the time I'm 60 something I want to be mostly retired. ;)

She represents the typical Southern Democrat that I have been exposing here for years...
