Aretha Franklin and her muumuu recently took to PBS to fund-raise apparently out of an extremely deep-seated love for the network. Guys, she really, really loves it. Her love of PBS programming is not to be believed -- believe me and I'm serious. I clipped and cut up the weirder points of her shilling, including her open scratching and possible crotch-grabbing, her tributes to cheese steaks and roller-skating and her unexpected modesty when confronted with a compliment.
ReRe ain't wrong. I will also just take a Philly cheesesteak and the Stylistics. And then scratch myself.

What can you expect from a music legend whose breasts are resting comfortably on the tops of her thighs?
Can we get her, Celine Dion & Liza Minelli together for another Divas concert?

I'm sooooo wearing that muu-muu to Folsom this weekend!
Lift and fan. Lift and fan...

That muumuu is the most reasonable thing she's worn in a long time...

Did she just say "Voulez poo poo chez?" She should get her money back from Berlitz.
She's shilling for PBS. I have to love her for that. She doesn't seem to mention any specific shows though. What do you think she's watching? I vote for Antiques Roadshow.

I like her elaborate rollerskating schedule. I wonder what was happening on the days she wasn't rollerskating?

I HATE you, Rich. I HATE you. I was watching this a couple weeks ago like, "Can you wait until we go to the phones to scratch all them itches? Gat damn ReRe!"
Knowing I wasn't the only one to see this (cuz really, who watches PBS?) brings me a sense of peace. You know what? We DO need the great programming on PBS, when no one else has shit on. So call, call now.

You know what? After reading the rest of these comments... NO, no more support for PBS programming, cuz you people are trying to kill me, and I won't go quitely into the night like ReRe's figure!

That "de Berlitz" kills me every time.

WOW! Poo-Poo chez avec moi? No thank you! I'll hand you the spray when you're done.

I stumbled on this while it was airing live and I was laughing so hard I almost fell off the couch. Especially that part about the cheesesteak.
Clearly she had starch vag from eating one too many cheesesteaks.
