Suddenly Saint Joan?

While I don't wish Joan Rivers ill, I must say I am surprised at all the prayers and well wishes that have been directed at her during this sad event. Are we forgetting that this is a woman who has made a career out of insulting, ridiculing and humiliating people? Suddenly society is acting as if this were some kind of benevolent celebrity whose warm and generous spirit has inspired generations. Come on, America. As Joan herself might say, "Get real!"
