The Thing About Betty White

Look, Betty White was funny as Rose, because Rose was a really well written character. And she was funny in Lake Placid because she was still Rose to you. But she was not that funny on SNL. She has not been that funny in most of cameos that are popping up all over like the lady is trying to finance a serious gambling addiction. I can only watch the "old lady swearing" schtick so many times. After all, so what, I know lots of old ladies who swear like 3 dollar hookers. In fact, pretty much every old lady I know, but that might have more to do with the fact they are all nurses. Nurses are potty mouths. However, as Community proved last night, if you give the lady good writing, she knows what to do with it. So fine, whatever, everyone rave about Betty White some more. I just hope when I'm really old, I also have some pop culture niche I can exploit to fund my donations to Columbian economic support and development.



When you are done watching that 5 or 6 times in a row because it's awesome (dogs used to eat me, now they bring the paper in), go to Turning River to see my new post up there, and Jere's new one is up too!
