I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ...
It's the holidays and Suze, dear, you need to put your shtick aside and have a little cheer.
I was flabber-smacked (gob-gasted? -- does fusion work with cultural idiomatic phrases of surprise?) to catch Suze addressing a little girl's request for a new doll on her show the other night -- and that show was not Saturday Night Live, and said Suze was not Kristen Wiig.
To be clear, more power to Ms. Orman and her message. I get it. The majority of America doesn't save because the majority of us are living paycheck to paycheck. [And the majority of us didn't get lottery winnings to invest in our future as a tip, either.] But to tell some poor thing she couldn't get a dolly because her liquid assets and her allowance income didn't meet Suze's standards, was a bit much. Can you imagine Suze at the mall in a jolly red blazer with kids on her lap yelling "de-nied" repeatedly?
So Suze, here's my Christmas wish. Take a hiatus, and come at us full force in January when the holiday bills come due. Then you can make us feel guilty -- and leave the darn kiddies alone!
