The View 05/24/07- Rosie and Joy loose their minds

http://abc.go.com/fsp/index.html
If you haven't seen today's episode of the View you should use the link above to watch it. Basically, Joy Behar goes off on the President, calls for his resignation and asks Al Gore to run while ranting all the time. Elizabeth Hasslebeck got angry and soon Rosie O'Donnell was into the argument as well. It looked tense but also funny.

This is the space where I would like to thank Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Behar for helping the Republicans win the next election for President. Their angry ranting devoid of any understanding of policy or specific situations only alienates voters from the left. In other words, Joy Behar demanding people watch Al Gore on CNN as he promotes his book and and business is nothing but a turn off to moderate voters. And more importantly, the ranting of those two against the President does nothing but make the left look bad.

Really, the co-host Cheri Shepard pointed out and this is true whatever mistakes the President made, and if you think Al Gore never made any in his job as Vice President you are sadly mistaken, 'he didn't sleep with an intern' about Bill Clinton as a contrast to President Bush and Joy Behar replied 'well maybe he should have-'. Huh? That statement only demonstrates the reasons Americans are uncomfortable with the Left. They may not be cool with the Republicans all the time, I personally did not like the Harriet Miers escapade in 2006, but the liberals are so out of touch with reality in their accusations that it's obvious they have nothing in common with regular people. It's Hollywooditis I think..

Joy Behar opened with a statement about all the things she didn't like about the President, not realizing that they are all things that have been explained or resolved. I don't know why the opinion of Jimmy Carter and Al Gore who are both Democrats-that obviously don't agree with Republicans should be considered experts to decide who should be in office and who should be out? But Joy Behar apparently thinks so..

I can agree with the statement that Alberto Gonzalez should be out of office by now. Then again, I think most people who have followed the situation think that too. Worse even, is that Rosie O'Donnell lost it and she is angry, she blames Elizabeth Hasslebeck for egging her into saying that 9/11 was a government conspiracy. A statement that did nothing but destroy her credibility and probably led to her job loss. Maybe EH isn't responsible and didn't really egg her into it, but that is the perception of the event. It was crazy to listen to Rosie say she wanted to state her opinions and then go back to doing what Elizabeth Hasslebeck accused her of by continuing to try and use E.H. as someone to bounce them off of.... eck.

The media has not portrayed Rosie as a big mean Lesbian, she's done that all on her own, I haven't even heard anyone say that unless you count radio shows in the morning who make everyone look bad. The worst part is that as they were fighting Cheri Shepard was saying 'this is why I like to watch Dancing with the Stars'. And the audience who started out cheering for people as they fought began to cheer for Cheri's statement - the arguing just got old.

More so, it's just way too obvious that there were a lot of hurt feelings on the set about friendships over political arguments. And when EH started to fight back by referencing Rosie's fight with Donald Trump she either accessed the fact that Rosie is not even keeled or likes to get attention by figthing in the headlines or both. Either way, I came out of it thinking Rosie is nuts. And even that maybe Joy was trying to state ideas for Rosie's benefit that Rosie no longer felt comfortable saying, but cannot stop.

What is very clear is that the Liberals about two years ago repeated the mistake that the Republicans made in the 90's. We had Clinton derangement syndrome, I admit I personally suffered, and apologize now for the way I behaved when I was younger and more wily. . Well the Left obviously has it now and needs help. Stop ranting, stop raving about things that are done, stop making wild accusations.

What is so sad is that the View used to be this cute show. The hosts were like the Spice Girls, Barbara was older sophisticated spice, Joy was Italian big city liberal mama spice, Elizabeth was young mommy conservative spice, and I don't know where Rosie fit into that.. they used to be fun and good natured. The show was fun and they all addressed politics but it was very light. The show today makes you miss Meredith Viera. No wonder they wanted her at the Today show, she's such a professional upbeat presence.
