DISQUS

I think you're right- politics and entertainment/media venues should not be overlapped. But I did catch the View (hey, I work from home) when the argument escalated and I was just happy to see Rosie hush up the little republican blond girl who, btw, is not a good representative for republicans anyway. Rosie is serious, the other chick was just belligerent which is why I think Rosie was just like, I'm done with it, there's just no talking to this person.

I also think that the show in general tries to be a news-type show for housewives or women who don't normally speak up on serious issues. It probably gets certain types of people talking about issues who wouldn't normally talk about it in their casual conversations.

The only way for The View to stay relevant is to talk about what everybody else is talking about and from this point on, that will be the election.

The challenge of course is that the show is a microcosm of all the other conversations going on in America - people just yelling what they want (yet not really knowing what they're talking about), while not listening to anybody else's side. And when you have that, what do you have? A fight ... which is where the entertainment factor comes in. Who doesn't love a good fight?

I think Whoopi can control herself a little better than Rosie. I think she brings a balance and maturity Rosie somehow didn't. I like the idea that the View gals talk about stuff the way we might talk in our own little groups about pressing (war) and entertainment (lindsay) issues. I just had to stop tuning in when Star and Elisabeth were on together. It was just too much. Dumb and Crazier.

What was it like when Star and Elisabeth got into it? I never saw that.
