 Eat The Press | Sandra Bernhard's Wet, Sexy Lips Totally Edited | The Huffington Post
I mean, can you really handle these lips?" Apparently, MAC parent Esteé Lauder could not, and edited out the part where Bernhard spoke of an "intimidated, frightened, right-wing Republican thin-lipped b*tch." The video, first posted on August 3rd, was linked yesterday on the Drudge Report, and the company was inundated by angry phone calls.
To be honest, the video could stand to have had a bit more editing, actually; it runs long and Bernhard really does seem to be speaking (and sometimes stammering) off the top of her head.
The website copy invites viewers to "Be like Sandra: provocative, controversial...a real power-mouth!" (but not, presumably, to be outspoken about her views on the lips of Republican women).
