“The Donald” Considers Helping A Murderer; NBC Does, Too
By Debbie Schlussel
Giant ego with hair to match, Donald Trump, is considering giving murderer O.J. Simpson a shot on his next edition of “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC.
Disgusting. Where is the outrage? I guarantee you that if someone murdered his daughter, Ivanka, Trump would be livid about someone mulling over giving the murderer a starring role on a (very dull) prime-time reality show.
There is just one answer to this idea: NO. (Or there might be a second answer: HELL, NO.)
And where is the “conscience” of failing NBC on all this? Oh, wait, they don’t have one at the Peacock Network. It’s all about the ratings. That’s it.
“The Donald” says “The Juice” put in a request to be on the show, and he and NBC are considering it:
“Simpson really wants to do it. Trump and NBC are thinking about it, but are being very cautious,” our source said. “There’s a certain amount of heat associated with Simpson.”
That’s putting it mildly.
On “Celebrity Apprentice,” D-List celebs try to raise money for their chosen charities. If this outrage happens–if O.J. gets his shot on this show, he should be forced to raise money for the Goldmans or for a women’s shelter.
If nothing convinced you already that Donald Trump was a blow-hard egomaniac with zero principles or conscience, this latest move should. A new low for him.
Never thought I’d say this, but I can’t wait to hear Rosie O’Donnell’s take on this one.
It would be nice if they did sign Simpson and then, without Simpson’s knowledge, assign him a task of having to wash Goldman’s car.
What a trashy culture we have. Welcome to the new Roman Empire, 2008.
