Ann Coulter on The View

I haven't watched this clip yet, but it dovetails nicely with the previous post about pundits. And the combination of the ladies from The View and poisonous harpy Ann Coulter was just creepy enough to inspire morbid curiosity. Watch at your own risk. . .

Stuck on Stupid II: Sherri Shepherd

I didn't realize when I ran the last post that Stuck on Stupid might become a running feature. But what do you know, it's two in a row.

Sherri Shepherd of ABC's The View has already earned her stripes in the stupid rally, but here she outdoes herself. Yes, Sherri, the focal point of a 2,000-year-old religion out-dates every other religion. Sheesh.



EDITOR'S NOTE: As far as I can tell, Sherri Shepherd's "thing" on the show is her devotion to religion in general, and Jesus in specific. So why is it that in her "area of expertise," she's so clueless? If her religious beliefs are so unexamined, why does she even try enter those discussions?

UPDATE: As is often the case with these "hot" clips, this video disappeared sometime today. I've updated it, however, and it should be working now! Bumped to the top of the list.

The View: Is the World Flat?

Daytime TV stinks. On those rare occasions I've been home sick, I'll turn on the set, and find relentlessly awful programming, from soap operas, a stream of judge shows, Jerry Springer and yes, The View. I've never watched the program outside of the occasional YouTube clip. Some of the Rosie stuff was good, and anything with Kathy Griffin. But it seemed to me that it fit squarely into that daytime TV stink-fest. I had no interest.

Through all of the Star Jones controversies, I never was interested enough to watch. Then the daily Rosie drubbing from FOX "News" (and others) ignited national interest in the program. I still didn't really care. I thought the Rosie vs. The Donald thing was just one more ridiculous thing for the news to focus on that wasn't news.

Rosie left, and the news was out that Whoopi Goldberg--one of my all-time favorite personalities--was joining the show. She's funny, shares my politics, and radiates thoughtful intelligence. But then I thought, "oh great, another lightning-rod for Sean Hannity." So far, only a slight blip.

Shortly after Whoopi's start, another woman was brought in, Sherri Shepherd, a person I have no knowledge of. But apparently, she's got Star Jones' former zaftig figure, Elizabeth Hasselbeck's religion, and the brains of a doorknob. I still don't watch the show, but this clip caught my eye: Sherri Shepherd The world is flat
