Dontcha ever just wanna rip on everyone you know the way she does with Drew?
No. Because she's a c&nt. She's the typical fat, bossy, b!tchy, fugly woman who got her way because mommy & daddy thought of her as a princess / didn't want to say "No" to her because they didn't want to put up with her temper tantrums.
I've known a few women like that, and they should just about be shot in the head and dumped in a pile - especially when they end up raising their children to be the same way.
With that being said, I tip my hat to Kathy Kinney. ANYONE who does such a good job in creating a character who is so vile and evokes such emotions (Larry Hagmann as JR Ewing is another one who comes to mind) has really done a good job with their craft.
Interesting side note. Behind the scenes, both Larry Hagman and Kathy Kinney were known to be super nice people. Same thing with Anne Ramsey (Throw Momma from the Train). It is almost like the more despicable character they play on the screen the nicer they are in real life. -

I'm not PC. Never have been; never will be.
That doesn't mean that I go out of my way to say such things to people like that, but I also won't tolerate their BS unless it benefits me in some way. I'm actually much more likely to just remove myself from those situations in which I encounter those people than I am to do anything else. -

I saw a political cartoon right after that stupidity. The newscaster was reading a story about a dozen deaths of young, black men in Chicago over the weekend. The second panel he said, "Be on the look out for the Confederate flag."

Yeah, it's not about being PC. Mimi's behaviour is what you call antisocial and abusive. The only reason it is funny or even tolerated is because it's a sitcom. The behaviour does not promote freedom, it stifles it.
And it's kind of funny that Anti-PC is being used to defend Mimi, who's only around because she did that fake PC harassment thing.
