Barbara and ABC might as well call it quits on The View altogether b/c I don't see it staying afloat too long afterwards. I see a revolving door about to go down b/c I don't see Whoopi staying longer either now that Joy and Babs are leaving.

Good riddance to this overrated bitch.

Its about time.

I think while the money has probably been great, that there has to be some part in there wondering if it was worth tarnishing her good news name. Once upon a time this woman was a serious newsperson and she threw it all away for her chat show littered with clods. She went from Sadat, Begin, and Castro to Whoopi passing gas and that other woman who doesn't know the world is round.

She was best known for asking people what tree they wanted to be. I think she was always seen as a lightweight, but before The View people didn't think she was nasty.

I still miss the old lineup. Star, Meredith and Lisa made that show for me.

Like Wendy Williams said, if its happening in summer of 2014, why are we talking about it now? Dont no one cur!

I'm fascinated that folks actually watch this show.
