On CNN, Celebrity Chef Padma Lakshmi: 'Insane' If You're Not a 'Feminist'

Appearing as a guest on a special Saturday edition of The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN, celebrity chef and Women's March attendee Padma Lakshmi complained about Republican plans to defund Planned Parenthood, dubiously claiming that "little of what Planned Parenthood does is abortion," and fretting that President Donald Trump "has given voice to a lot of racism and misogyny and just given a boldness to a certain kind of hatred and violence."

A bit later, after being pressed by host Tapper about pro-life groups being excluded from the march, she conceded that doing so was a mistake for outreach purposes, but then in the next breath hyperbolically asserted that one has to be "insane" or "crazy" to not be a "feminist."



When asked by Tapper why most participants were attending the march, she began by bemoaning:

Oh swell!  Another hysterical female celebrity (whom I never heard of) whining about something she knows nothing about. 

If she's so concerned about PP, why doesn't she kick in some of the money she makes as a celebrity to fund PP?  I'll bet she never contributed a dime.

Phyllis Schlafly accomplished more in her life than all of these bimbos who marched on Saturday combined.

If I haven't heard of them, they're not celebrities. But even if they are celebrities, if I have no respect for them, I do not afford them the so-called fame/celebrity supposedly attached to them.
 I feel the same about "famous" rap "artists." If you can't sing or play an instrument, you're not a musician worthy of respect.

I would love for this nitwit to try and be a feminist in her native country of origin.

Where women are regarded as chattel, marriages are arranged and Dowry still practiced and women are slaves to their in-laws upon marriage.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Padma who? This broad wrote a couple cook books years ago and banged Salman Rushdie and she is a celebrity?

Hey Padma. No one knows who you are and no one gives two shits about anything you have to say. Now go back to your irrelevancy.

I thought Salmon Rushdie was one of her seafood recipes.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Rumor is she's pretty good in the kitchen and has writeen a couple of award winning cook books...but all the pics I can find of here show her dressed like this.

Give two sh*ts?  Well, if you ate her cooking, you might give something in the way of fecal matter....if you catch my drift.  Be close to a restroom. :laugh:
