Did Paula Deen get the Shaft?

She's no angel. And the Food Network has the right to fire anyone they want for almost any reason.

But was this a fireable offense? ..When you admit, under oath, that you had used the "N-word," but that "was a long time ago."

There are a WHOLE lot of people across the country who would be fired if that is the criteria.

Frankly, I'm more offended that she hid her diabetes while promoting an unhealthy diet, until she put a deal together to profit off her disease.

What do you think?
