Whoopi Goldberg, Master Of Eloquent Political Analysis
Posted by Mark Graham at 3:20 PM on September 29, 2008
· We don't know how long that Whoopi Goldberg has been on The View —we suppose we could look it up, but it's Monday night and we're tired as shit— but nary a day goes by when we don't think to ourselves, "How in tarnation is Whoopi qualified to be The View's de facto leader?" The most recent evidence of her ineptitude involved her trenchant (and bipartisan!) insight that Barack Obama and John McCain have each "stuck their foot in the doo-doo and are walking around making dookie spots" in their dealings with the ol' US of A's cratering economy. Check please! [The View]
· Also on the election front: Sarah Palin is being encouraged to step aside from the presidential race by none other than leading conservative columnist Kathleen Parker. Who, we might add, is also a female. Try slapping a sexist tag on that! [National Review]
· Statler & Waldorf somehow snagged themselves an Op-Ed in today's New York Times. Yes, the muppets. [NY Times]
· And lastly, for those of you who could give a rat's arse about politics, we turn our attention back to the world of entertainment. Namely, exactly how much is Tina Fey worth? However much it is (hint: she's made $US17 million in her career to date), we think she probably deserves more. [Portfolio]

Makes me want to play some of that old school funk, George Duke's "Dukey Stick."

The fact that whoopi is the smart one is the only reason to watch.

How can anyone watch that? That 60 second clip was 45 seconds of non-sensical nattering by three or four women at once, you couldn't understand what any of them were saying and they're all so ... misinformed. Especially Hasslebeck (Hassleback?) She is adorable though. As long as she doesn't talk.

The simmering hostility from their differing uninformed opinions is a fun view until their annoying screeching punctures your eardrums.

I propose a new View rule: only one microphone will be live at any given time.

@kookla: Ha! George Duke, I? love that late '70s, early '80s stuff.
@turdknuckle: I'll go along with that.

B Walters was actually in the NY Times saying she wanted The View to be more politically relevant than it has in the past and Joy Behar (!) has gotten props for asking McCain why he lies in his advertisements. Whoppi has been shooting her mouth off for years about things she really doesn't understand. I'd prefer Meredith Vieira, who I no longer watch since I can't stomach Today, but she has a news, not a "Ghost" background.

The only people I liked on The View were Meredith and Lisa Ling. True journalists.

@tejasfriend:
"Whoppi has been shooting her mouth off for years about things she really doesn't understand."
As an American voter she has EVERY right to speak her mind...on top of the fact that she is PAID to do so.
