Joy Behar can declare that the Bush administration are “liars and murderers,” but don’t call her a “fringe liberal,” because “that’s like name calling.”
This is the same woman who, upon hearing of Sen Tim Johnson’s stroke, wondered if he’d had a “man-made stroke,” and that “someone did this to him.”
Oh, right…she was just joking…
But she certainly seeeeeems like a fringe liberal.
What? I’m just joking!
Sometimes when I’m getting my bloodwork done, the office lobby has The View blaring - every time I’ve watched (both with Star and with Rosie) I’ve thought: why do people watch this? Why does Barbara Walters want her ground-breaking and respectable career to end with this vile product?

I don’t know, either, Anchoress. The only ep I ever saw was when they had the director of a movie about a guy who got a sex change so he could be a lesbian. /spit, as we’d say on Warcraft….
She probably thinks CNN is too main-stream, too.

A Snippet of Snarks. The Left knows they can broadcast this kind of silliness, without repercussions, because they still control most of the media. And Walters is one of them, albeit with a tad more class. She should have jettisoned O’Donnell at the start. That she didn’t, and had plenty of excuses why, says all I need to know about her.

It seems like the first problem fringe liberals have is just admitting what they are. I’ve said this so many times to people, but I’ve really never met a real live one. I don’t know if they just don’t come out to the places I go or if they are just a creation that resides in the armchairs of talkshows and behind the keyboards in their homes. I’ve seen Markos on a talk show before but I’ve never had a real conversation with someone so boneheaded.
Thanks again for the St. Patrick’s Breastplate. It is amazing!

It beats me. I don’t know why Barbara has not been able to decern better. She is obviously a very intelligent woman. I can’t figure that one out.

I had forgotten what a class act Walters was until they showed clips from her interviews during Ronald Reagan’s funeral.
Unequaled in all of the history of TV.
My gut feeling is that even honest liberals like Walters just can’t bring themselves to express any negative feelings against any homosexual. They are insecure in their “tolerance” but just can’t bring themselves to admit that they are “intolerant” of people as extreme as Rosie.

A short recon of whats out there that might draw your attention.

Shows like that are why I’m not a big fan of TV. I CAN’T watch them. They’re too painful for me. Why give myself a headache? I understand in your case that you were sort of a captive audience being in a doctor’s office and all. My answer: always be involved in a good book. I just finished the third in a series of good books today and I’m picking up the fourth and final installment as soon as I get home. Just like I turn off The View, I turn any news programs off too when the glut of the media circus gets too sickening to watch. Sometimes I just have to have quiet.

I have only seen small segments of the View and was not impressed at all. What ever happened to manners and decorum? Most of the women on there are not the least bit pleasant, funny or intelligent. The term I would use is crude and rude. A person can be strong yet soft, like silk, and still get their point across and it doesn’t hurt much to listen to opposing points of view with a small degree of politness. In the words of our ever wise hostess, “one can disagree and still be decent.”

When I go to the local YMCA gym, the TVs are sometimes tuned the The View. I suppose some women feel torturing the mind should coincide with torturing the body.

PS. Dennis Miller dished out some pretty great stuff during his turn on The View: http://newsbusters.org/node/11137
