Why she might be annoying:

    She attributed her bisexuality to an abusive relationship.
    She had roles in the forgettable ‘Ringmaster’ and ‘Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde.’
    She wasn’t even born when the last Mammy cartoon came out (1952); her version was more politically correct (read, she did not say, ‘Uncle Tom’).
    On Comedy Time and seeing no harm punching kids in the throat: ‘I just watched the news and stuff, and I think the world is going crazy.’
    Her WWE character was confined to a wheelchair and shown passing out of cardiac arrhythmia; the act didn’t last long.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Aye, she was a fixture on the Edinburgh Comedy Festival.
    Appearing at the local GLBT Pride Fest alongside comic Etta May (1999), the mayor of Philadelphia honored them simultaneously by naming the day for them.
    On the Howard Stern show (Howard 100 radio), she announced she had Type 2 diabetes and was to undergo gastric bypass surgery. ‘I have four children. This is not about vanity… I want it to be like a rebirth. A new me. A healthier me.’
