Fox Commentator Attacks New American Idol, Jordin Sparks
MeMe Roth spews vile and ignorant slurs about new American Idol, Jordin Sparks in this appalling video on Neil Cavuto's show on Fox. MeMe thinks Jordin should not have been allowed to win, because she's "obese." (Apprently, on Planet MeMe anyone who doesn't look like Nicole Ritchie qualifies as "obese.")
When MeMe looks at Jordin (who is only 17), all she sees is "heart disease and diabetes." She doesn't see talent or beauty, apparently. We think MeMe shouldn't be allowed to speak on television because she's an ignoramus. Kudos to the guy from Newsweek for blasting MeMe.
