Some of their takes are just plain toxic or promote the patriarchy. I like / watch The View, but I’ve been annoyed many times by some takes even Sunny, Whoopi, or Joy have had (not including Meghan, because everything she said was annoying).

After Meghan, I hope they get someone who is different from the others, but just not a Conservative blowhard.

I remember when it first started. I was in my teens somewhere.

I can't recall it ever being useful.

They'll crowbar some other conservative in there for the "controversy" of it all. The only press the show gets is when Meghan says something especially stupid.

I can't believe it wasn't cancelled when Whoopi explained to us what "rape rape" was. How she's still on the show after that. If that came out of Meghan's mouth, she would've been done.

One of my favorite View jokes came from 30 Rock. When Jack is explaining to Liz how she's about to ruin her career, he says, "Soon, all you'll have left is sending topical menopause jokes to Joy Behar by fax."

Dead.

But I wonder how her husband is going to come up with an equally successful way for her to parrot his talking points to a vast audience.

I'd suggest something like a Hyde Park Speakers Corner. Maybe some place DEEP in the Arizona desert.

share the stage with others. I don't think this is the last we'll hear of her.

She'll probably wind up with her own program somewhere - where no one will be able to challenge her.

Not one of you is concerned that Meghan is now going to have to find a real job? You probably didn't mourn when Donny had to get a job, either:

not like worked real hard anyways. She watched foxed news in the morning and would come in and argue against whatever the other women would say.

Mostly, it meant she took the cruel, mean, narrow view of things that went against women, fairness and propped up the status quo and maintained her privileged world.


Good luck Megahan
