Julia’s Rants…and more

She'll be back: Dennis Miller who? When it comes to fantastic rants, nobody but nobody beats Designing Women's Julia Sugarbaker. Island Bill, proprietor of Mermaniac uncovered this cache of some of Julia's finest oratory, which is part of a much larger, excellent Designing Women Tribute site (and a companion site for current cast news and projects).

My favorite Julia rant -- and it's hard to choose only one -- is more of a retort, but I love it all the same. It's from the episode "Killing All the Right People", which was just re-run on Lifetime last night, wherein Julia confronts an old friend and client about her hypocrisy regarding AIDS:

Alma Jean, get serious! Who do you think you're talking to? I've known you for 27 years, and all I can say is, if God was giving out sexually transmitted diseases to people as a punishment for sinning, you would be at the free clinic all the time! And so would the rest of us!!

But I love 'em all, and there are plenty of other great quotes from the series transcribed here.

If you're a big Designing Women fan, you'll not want to miss the Designing Women Reunion on Lifetime tomorrow night, followed by an airing of the show's original episode and cast favorites. In addition, although the series isn't planned to be released in full-season installments, a DVD called The Best of Designing Women will be released in September.
