Quit Pickin’ on Tommy----He Is Too Funny!

I salute Roseanne Arnold for her gutsy response. Powerful women in the entertainment industry need to speak out against the malignant proliferation of abusive, mean-spirited and, I might add, unwanted commentary against them in today’s legitimate press.

It smacks of unfairness for critics to take aim at the truly talented people who are putting themselves bravely out there solely to bring a little joy to people in hard times. It reflects badly on the writer, not the star.

In the long run, I’m sure Arnold’s audience, and they are legion, will be there for her, despite what is written. They can see what the myopic critic can’t--a real person who is funny and works for a living.
