The View: Whoopi and Joy walk off the set

Amen. He would never blanket label Baptists that way, though the words "Westboro" and "extremist" kind of go hand in hand. And even as a Christian, I am offended when sweeping statements are made about us. I am a Baptist, of the black American Pentecostal-tinged tradition, raised in a very loving and inclusive church and I don't appreciate my faith being disparaged.

That reprimand was tame especially compared to how she publically humiliated Starr Jones. I don't respect either Joy or Whoppi for walking off. Whoppi is a drama queen diva who believes her [!@#$%^&*] don't stink and Barbara was her usual condescending self. Funny how she managed to get a dig in at The Talk in her peace maker routine.

But she's right. Other people do try to copy them and not just The Talk. Remember that all-male version of The View a few years ago called The Other Half? Wanda Sykes talk show (which I loved) featured a panel that was obviously inspired by The View. Sorry but this is a case of "don't hate the player, hate the game."

That said, I don't have a big problem with how Babs handled this. Barabara is a journalist. Whoopi and Joy are comedians. Barbara has interviewed serial killers and dictators. She's more than equipped to deal with the likes of O'Reilly. Whoopi and Joy weren't prepared for someone that crazy. I can see where Barbara doesn't want to have to worry about both her guest AND her staff going off.

Also, does Elizabeth really expect us to believe she had a conversation with a Muslim man? Bitch, please!

Talk about blowing [!@#$%^&*] out of proportion, you would have thought the woman died with that formal as hell scripted direct address to the audience. Big deal, she said she was leaving, and YOU didn't get to say it. "But we had it all planned out..." I have to give Starr the point for that one. You fire me and tell me how I'm supposed to slink away quietly on your terms? Do you all KNOW Starr?? Of course you do, that's why you fired her. I was bothered even more by Larry King kissing Barbara's ass from across town while interviewing Starr, taking on an obvious, unprofessional slant in Barbara's favor. I don't care if he and Barbara are "friends." I'm willing to bet that the Starr "problem" could have been nipped in the bud if they at down with her as sister-friends instead of buttoning up and rolling their eyes whenever she showed her tail, and showed her tail she did as a strong, opinionated woman who was suddenly making LOTS of money and losing LOTS of weight. She really needed a friend on that show to take her aside.

Gayle gets on my nerves too, but Mark the perv was the worst. There were a couple of times he made inappropriate flirty comments to women like we all don't know that he's married and the much more famous woman that he's married to. So out of order.

Wow, Joy and Whoopi grandstanding and O'Reilly getting free PR finally come with a bonus -- Juan Williams, Republican sycophant known for such gems as saying Michelle Obama is Stokely Carmichael in a dress, has gotten the boot from NPR.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
    • Is nobody going to mention the cringefest that is 'Carl Ivati'?
