As for me, I "might have felt better-inclined towards her" if she weren't Judith Regan.

As I said on a blog elsewhere at the time she was fired, it seemed pretty obvious that she'd been badly treated by her employers, but at the same time it was next to impossible to sympathize because of her track record of publishing truly vile, exploitative, often dishonest books. The OJ Simpson excrescence was only one of many.
