The place I go to write about 'The View', but I reserve the right to get completely burned out on the topic and go back to politics.

Today on 'The View'

Sherri Shepherd guest hosts. I love it when she's on, you never know what she's going to say. The first time she was on she talked candidly about how she wanted to kill her husband when she caught him cheating after they had a baby. Unapologetic and detailed in her rage, she made us all understand in no uncertain terms that revenge was an acceptable option given her circumstances. It was awesome!

Meanwhile there is a discussion about a book that was banned in schools because it used the word 'scrotum', which Babs had to then define for the audience because apparently we're retarded. Not one to miss out on a good old fashioned book banning, Elizabeth jumps in to say she frequently censors books she reads to Grace, her two year old daughter. Books like, "Babar".

Given the Britney Spears madness, it was only natural that Richard Lewis came on and talked about his "former" drinking and drug use while wearing sunglasses and talking incoherently. A bleeped comment after Lewis serenaded the ladies with his 'scrotum song' caused Babs to gasp and declare, "What are we dong on this show?!" Spreading right-wing ideology via Lizzy's rampant censorship, giving an unlimited forum for Rosie O'Donnel's radicalism and slowly ruining your own dream to bring together intelligent women (remember when 75% of them actually were journalists instead of comedians and reality show contestants?) for thought-provoking conversation. That's what you're doing Barb! Excellent work.
