ANNIE DUKE VS HITLER

On the April 19th episode of Celebrity Apprentice, Joan Rivers continued her series of vicious, bitchy, borderline psychotic attacks on poker player, Annie Duke. Rivers' tirade culminated in comparing Annie to Hitler! The irony here is that the former German dictator was always a huge fan of the 107 year old comedienne. In any case, on Monday Joan Rivers, somehow not realizing she had already gone way too far, issued an apology to Hitler. I decided to do some research to check the appropriateness of the comparison, and this is what I came up with. Mel C
