No problem with her using the bully pulpit. It was that she essentially melted down on her show, sobbing and talking about how it was impossible to go on pretending to be funny when things were going so horribly wrong, blah blah blah.

You can watch it here. The emotion is honest, but I wonder what she'll do when something truly horrible (rather than just a big pain in the ass) happens.
