You should know better.

Am I the only one in my world who watches The View? There is always so much to process, but especially today's show. It has all the things in pop culture that absolute fascinate me, related to daytime television's narratives that reflect "mainstream America". Seriously, it's more revealing than all the pundits on MSNBC combined.

I only watch the first 20 minutes until the celebrity guests arrive.

I am guilty of watching the view on days I don't have school. It is no schocker to me that Rosie O & Hasselbeck get along the have much more in common than different, i.e. they are both "mooomies" and prattle on about their kidz too much, and are supa rich rich rich white ladys. Rosie O is richer than Liz, but in the republican think weath=value, so liz by virtue of belief system CAN'T hate Rosie and not to let the Democrats of the hook Hasselbek's fame makes her a legitimate "authority" in the eyes of uber-Dem O'Donnel. Additionally, Liz kind of looks like Rosie's wifey-babymamma, which I find hilarious. In summation: other than a difference about the palatability of the act of doughnut-bumping and perhaps gun control, Hasselbeck and O'Donnel are two peas in a pod. Behar's intellignece often suprises me as well, I find her slightly caustic wit to be the real backbone of The View.
