The Newly Emboldened Sherri Shepherd Finally Uses 'Nuclear Option' on Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Posted by Kyle Buchanan at 8:00 AM on October 8, 2008
Yesterday's unlikely emergence of Sherri Shepherd as The View's new foil to Elisabeth Hasselbeck was no fluke! As you might be able to discern from the fierce, finger-wagging screencap up above, Shepherd set it off on today's program (and View producers helpfully sat the two budding rivals next to each other for maximum in-your-face screaming).
Yesterday's
As Hasselbeck again brings up this week's Republican talking points by linking Barack Obama to William Ayers, Shepherd goes ballistic, shouting, "Can we talk about poor judgment?" The evisceration of Cindy McCain's homewrecking ways that follows stuns Hasselbeck ("Wow, this is super personal now!") and even the unflappable Joy Behar, who rises and... mimes flashing the audience? We're not entirely sure, but now that The View has become a reliable daily source of politically-charged catfighting, we suppose some T&A wouldn't be entirely out of place.

Call me when one of these long-winded ignorant bitches draw blood; otherwise you're wasting my time.

Is it just me, or do they have this exact same argument every single day?

"...Joy Behar, who rises and... mimes flashing the audience?" I saw a little 'jazz-hands' action, too.

Just what I like, more fodder for the cannon that will shoot Elisabeth out of the studio and into the tentacled embrace of Fox News (although I'm hoping it's aimed at a brick wall.) Hopefully it's showing Barbara that they all have reached the boiling point with her and that little Elisabeth doesn't behave well enough with others to the degree that she shouldn't be around

@TenTimesFiltered: It's only because it takes Elisabeth so long to remember the same 2 "arguments" that she has to bring them to the show every day and start the same argument no matter what they're talking about.

The day will come when Barbara will drag Elizabeth out of the studio by her hair and go postal, because Babs is a scrapper.

Did they ever resolve the Flat Earth/Round Earth argument?
Uhhh, you gotta win that one before you move on.

BTW, I love Shepherd's oh-no-you-didn't face with that razor nail finger cutting the air.

@Rune: Okay, but we've gotta keep her around until November 5 so we can see her cry on air when Grandpa is sent back to the Senate.

@NoWireHangers: Should Obama, I'm betting $50 bucks that Liz will announce her departure "to spend time with her family" or something. It'll be Rumsfeldian, trust.

According to the ABC page for The View: An accomplished stand-up comic, Ms. Shepherd has performed at The Comedy Store, The Improv and the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, and has released both a DVD and a CD of her routine entitled "No Refund, No Exchange."
Now I feel really confused. Is "Sherri Shepherd" a comedy routine?

Elisabeth telling someone else to relax? Whoopi looks embarrassed to be there.

Hasselbeck is just stoked at the possibility of a VP Palin convincing McCain to make her Secretary of Treasury or something.
What will she do for the talent competition?

Sherry, Halle's already sewn up for the HHS position so I think you should tone it down if you want to even be considered for the Department of Education job.

Jesus Louise-us. Elisabeth thinks she can attack Obama's character, that she's FIGHTING for the RIGHT to attack Obama's character. As soon as Sherri starts on McCain's character, Elisabeth thinks that's too far.
