Now it’s funny? Sarah blazes on through jokes
I guess I missed the memo that the whole Duchess of York scandal is something to be taken lightly. Oops.
At the Book Expo America event where she was a speaker, Sarah Ferguson referred to one of her children’s books in the series “Helping Hands” that warns against trusting strangers. “I suddenly realized that maybe I should take a leaf out of my own books”, she noted.
“One [of my books] is ‘Ashley Learns About Strangers,’ said Sarah. Without missing a beat, she continued, “Or Matthew and the Bullies’. Hmm.”
Her audience laughed, but whether it was knowingly or out of embarrassment for Sarah, I don’t know.
Lightly scolding herself for trusting a stranger and referencing bullies, these comments reveal that Sarah considers herself the victim and that her behavior is due to other people picking on her. This is a scary set-up that will allow her to blame others and move on without really learning anything. Surprise.
Her self-esteem is so low, Sarah reasons, that how could she not get caught up in such a scandal? It’s no wonder she fell for the News of the World’s tactics. Obviously she’s a penniless single mum just trying to get by and bullied because she’s oh-so-trusting.
Rubbish.
The Duchess’ mindset and actions prove that she will never learn from her mistakes, and even something this embarrassing will not stop her from careening further into vulgar disaster. Fergie will take down everyone and anyone to make a buck, pound or dinar – whatever country she happens to be in at the time. No one is safe, not even her daughters.
I think it’s high time someone takes back the Duchess of York title during the tete-a-tete at Royal Lodge today. It’s going to need retirement for at least a generation to clean the slime off of it.
