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 her. She is crazy!! I hope she gets a permanent spot at the table if she even wants it. So - the last time Shepherd was on her husband had cheated on her after she had given birth to a sick premature baby that wasn't expected to live. She was threatening to kill the husband, the girlfriend and a flurry of other people. But now - she's back together with the cad and he even had a baby with the other woman. She showed a picture of her son and the new baby. CRAZY! Love her.

Things got nasty though when Joy decided to go after Bush and called for his impeachment with a list of every stupid thing he's done since taking the office, while singing Al Gore's praises. Joy is rabid, Rosie looks normal for about two seconds, then she went after Elizabeth hard core. But then Rosie decides to stop the yelling because she says Fox News will say, "Big fat lesbian Rosie attacks sweet Christian Elizabeth". This made Elizabeth shrill and start swinging back. There were a lot of 'Let Me Finish's!' going around. Sherri Shepherd says this is why she only watches "Dancing With The Stars" and no political shows. THEN Rosie let's it all hang out and shouts that Elizabeth is NOT her friend becuase Elizabeth wouldn't back her up when Rosie asked Elizabeth if she believed Rosie was saying the troops were terrorists, like the Republican pundits accused her of saying.

Rosie: "You said nothing and that's cowardly." Elizabeth: "Do not call me a coward, Rosie. I'll tell you what's cowardly. Asking a rhetorical quesion that you never answer yourself." They go split screen because you don't know who's going to hurl an hysterical personal attack next. We all know that Elizabeth and Rosie hated each other from the beginning and they've been trying to show who is the bigger woman by accepting the opposing views each one brings to the coffee klatch. But Rosie's leaving and Elizabeth is pregnant and hormonal, so here it is. It seems it's never going to end, Sherri Shepherd and Joy get up and pretend to leave the set. But then Joy realizes this shit ain't funny and she starts screaming "Whos' directing this show?? Let's go to commercial!"

Elizabeth's big zing that she's been storing up for almost a year, "It's much easier to fight with Donald Trump, isn't it?"

Alicia Silverstone comes out and looks very scared.

Today on 'The View'

I haven't been posting because I'm so depressed it's going to be boring without Rosie sticking her foot in her mouth, making Elizabeth heave and confusing octogenarian Walters. But today was a good one.

Rosie isn't making it to the Daytime Emmy's - family issue, right. Barbara says if the cast wins this year, she will be very disappointed that Rosie won't be there. Rosie says....."Well if we win for best cast, Barbara you get all the credit for hiring me."

I thought for a minute that it would go unnoticed, but luckily that sharp Joy Behar realized what was going on and later stopped to say, "So we're not good enough to win without you?" and awkward conversation followed. Basically Rosie was like, 'yes'. It was so uncomfortable and wonderful. Joy did not seem the same the rest of the show.

She also admonished the table during a heated Jimmy Carter discussion saying "One at a time ladies."

Bigger fight! Rosie attacked Elizabeth for watching Fox News when Fox said Rosie called our troops terrorists. Elizabeth said this is why... Rosie asks "Who are the terrorists?" when Iraqi civilians are dying by the thousands. Now, I'm no fan of Elizabeth or Republicans, and Fox News is a joke, but I can see why they would jump on that comment. It makes sense, but not to Rosie who then says Elizabeth "can't hold two thoughts at the same time" and that's why she couldn't understand that she wasn't calling the troops terrorists. Elizabeth is massively insulted. Then Rosie goes after Barbara and Joy. Barbara slaps down Rosie, Joy uses this as an opportunity to disagree with Rosie and sound smart. Whew!

Today on 'The View'

One great thing about Rosie leaving, we can ditch the menopause talk and Barbara Streisand worship. Yes, sometimes the two topics do intertwine.

I signed up for the Home Viewer winner thing. Which means, I sent my picture in and hope to win whatever items they're giving away to audience members. I don't think I'm ever going to win because I'm not an overweight housewife from Duluth. But I am willing to become an overweight housewife from Duluth if it means I could win the round trip tickets to London to see Barbara Streisand. Of course I would cash in the concert tickets and treat myself to a night on the town. Unless I do turn into an overweight housewife from Duluth, in which case I would also become a Streisand fan by default.
