Stephanie Miller "skinny" comments...

[ReverendDeuce]

I've been listening to Stephanie Miller lately and I've heard a lot of banter from her and her sidekicks about her being "too skinny"... Is this some kind of inside joke that I may have missed? I've seem photos of Stephanie and I think she looks great! What gives?

1. Her Eastern / Western doctor has told her she has Mercury poisoning. n/t

[Peregrine Took]

6. Just curious, but what is an "Eastern/Western" doctor? n/t

[Ian David]

7. That means a doctor with a recognized medical degree who also believes in magic.

Apparently, both Elvira and Cher also go to this guy.

11. oh good. So if she gets cancer or something, he'll just rotate her chakras.

[Ian David]

12. Then again, if he's kept Cher alive for this long, he must know what he's doing.

Actually, what this usually means is a doctor who does what is necessary and prudent using Western / Evidence Based medicine to maintain the health of their patient, while prescribing them (usually) harmless placebos to put more money in their pocket.

Since much of their magic-based medicine isn't covered by insurance, what they'll do is give you the placebos for "free," but bill the insurance company for extra "consulting time."

16. insurance covers some of that crap because the placebo is cheaper than real treatment

and if they have a serious illness, they're more likely to die because they didn't seek real treatment sooner, thereby saving the insurance company money.

17. Holy shit, someone out-cyniced me today!

I was losing my hair, and there was nothing I could do about it!

2. Steph has lost some weight lately...

In the clip of her calling Tweety a 'right wing tool' she looked noticably thinner. My wife says she's been on some fish diet or something...

[Bjorn Against]

3. Yeah, she has mercury poisoning and has lost a lot of weight in the last couple weeks

[Ian David]

8. Did the doctor diagnose Mercury poisoning using Western/allopathic methods or Eastern/Magic? n/t

[LSparkle]

4. She looked OK on TV but that adds 20 pounds -- when I imagine

what she looks like in reality, she probably would seem pretty emaciated. I don't think ANY woman would joke about being "too thin" unless even they were a bit concerned themselves ...

[yurbud]

13. I never thought Sarah Jessica Parker was too skinny until she was speaker at some event on TV

and a friend of mine was sitting directly behind her. You could see the my friends ears on either side of SJP's ass, and my friend does not have an unusually wide head.

[Berry Cool]

5. Supposedly she is down to 120 pounds and a size 0.

Frankly, it's a little scary. You know it's bad when her sidekicks are making bad-taste Karen Carpenter jokes. :scared:

[Sparkly]

15. Is she tall?

My hunch is that if it were serious, they wouldn't make jokes. :shrug:

[Ian David]

18. Jim says her body mass index is lower than Karen Carpenters' when she died. n/t

[Zywiec]

19. 120 lbs isn't underweight unless she's over 5'8" tall. n/t

[Zywiec]

9. She looks good here

[King Coal]

10. Don't throw Mama from the train.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

14. my future wife sounds good at any size.

I just hope she sleeps and recovers.

[ReverendDeuce]

20. As much as I prefer skinny gals, this is no way to do it!

Poor Steph!

Get well soon, airwave-babe!
