In the hospital since Sunday evening but one of the nurses just mentioned Bette Midler is yet again Tweeting to revel in others misfortune. Texas is apparently suffering bad weather conditions and some are freezing with no electricity. So Bette decides to turn it into a referendum on Ted Cruz. That's as disgusting as what homophobic Fred Phelps would do. And it doesn't count as joke. She is and always will be a hateful bitch. There's a reason she has no friends in the industry and a reason costars never want to work with her again. When people are suffering, you don't pile on. Love to anyone suffering. I'm told four states are suffering. Anyone bothered by my calling Bette a bitch should grasp I've been calling her trash since 2005 -- see a roundtable at THIRD -- and be warned that as soon as I'm out of the hospital, the first entry here will be entitled Dumb Bitches about a bad book and the idiots who praised it.
