she's fighting jesse and bullock over the custody of the child she had with jesse.dra wrote a letter to the judge earlier this week laying out her plea for custody. lindemulder had a message for sandra when you interviewed her for "inside edition." let's take a look at that. >> sandra, yes, you're a wonderful movie star, but you're not too damn cool to have a conversation with regard to this 5-year-old child. am i such a horrible person because of my tattoos and because i was in porn that you can't even sit down for a cup of coffee to get on the same page? that's my gripe. >> jim, it seems to me a cup of coffee not going to happen here. why is her gripe about sandra, not about jesse? >> because sandra wrote a letter to the judge saying, specifically, that the daughter would come into a room and her mother would be passed out from taking drugs. let me be really clear about something. i talked to janine lindemulder and she said, look, i'm no june cleaver. i know i've gotta toos, i've had a drug history, i'm clean now, i was a porn actress. i'm not any longer. am a gre

want custody of jesse's daughter.she describes what she calls janine's poor parenting, the girl's supposed isolation from other kids, and even claiming that the girl was left alone all day while her mother was asleep after using drugs. i want you to listen to what sandra wrote, as read by "showbiz tonight" production assistant annisea hussein. >> i myself have stopped working like i used to in order to be here with jesse and the kids, because we are on constant high alert, never knowing what condition janine will be. >> all that said, they have a very strong bond. cooper, let me ask you, do you think it would be a bad idea to take this girl away from her mom permanently? >> permanently take her away in terms of living with sandra bullock and jesse, i think that's a different argument. i think she should have her mother in her life, but the latest research on child development is showing that the child's environment is equally influential as who she becomes as the people around the environment. so is she going to be ar

sandra bullock and her famous biker husband jesse james are battling jesse's porn star ex-wife for custody of his 5-year-old daughter. >> it is an explosive story. the angry letter that sandra bullock wrote to a judge fighting for custody. sandra and jesse want sole custody of the girl. they have been taking care of her while her porn star mother served a six-month sentence for tax evasion. now that jesse's ex-is out of jail, she is striking back big time. who is right and who is wrong? it's the great debate. mid-win charles and new york tonight, cooper lawrence who is a psychologist and author of this book, the cult of celebrity. i am looking at sandra bullock in a new light. she is digging in in this battle, claiming that jesse's porn star ex-is not only an unfit mother, but is married to a convicted felon. she is putting all that out there. do sandra and jesse have a shot of getting sole custody? >> they have a shot if the facts they are alleging are true. the judge will look into this and determine whether or not it's in the best interest of the child. that's the standard as to whether

why is her gripe about sandra and not jesse?> her gripe is about sandra because she wrote a letter to the judge saying specifically that the daughter would come into a room and her mother would be passed out from taking drugs. let me be clear about something. i talked to her and she said look, i'm no june cleaver. i have tattoos and i had a drug history and i'm clean now. i was a porn actress and i'm not any longer. am i a great mom? i'm the best i can be and i love my daughter. i want shared custody and think she is upset as a mom that her ex-husband who she said broke up with her when she was months pregnant and didn't want anything to do with the daughter for three years and now wants her completely. that's what has her upset and to say sandra bullock is not a party is disingenuous because she put herself into the court action by writing the letter. she would be the stepmom, but she would be the parent basically if jesse jackson gets sole custody. also janine is not suggesting that jessy and sandra are not great parents. they

you've probably heard the story of how in 1987 students marched across the stanford college campus with jesse jackson chanting hey, hey, ho, ho, western culture's got to go. that time, around the late '80s, was the time when professors across the country reconfigured their reading lists getting rid of the bad old dead white males and replacing them with authors picked for their gender or their politics or their ethnicity or sexual orientation or for some sort of victim status. of course, not all the classics completely disappeared. colleges still taught aristotle, shakespeare, but they began to teach those classics really differently. i'm going to give a could couple examples about shakespeare. sprigally -- traditionally for about 400 years intelligent readers, college professors said essentially three things about shakespeare. they said he was universal, of universal interest. he's not of an age but for all time as ben johnson said. they said he mirrored nature, that there was something real about what shakespeare was able to put in his plays that's realer than any other literature. again, b
