Mom Says Star Jones Is Off The View Because She's A Dem - True Or False?

[Dinger]

I don't really watch it. Do any of you? I have no idea, but Mom's no dummy.

[pooja]

1. and what is Barbra Walters? I think she was too sensational.

She attracted a lot of outside media attention that was a little tasteless in the opinion of the "Queen". I don't think it had much to do with being aligned with a political party.

[TheDebbieDee]

2. The few times I did watch that crappy show.......

they all seemed to be * boosters, with the exception of Joy Behar who would seem to become mysteriously quiet.

[LostinVA]

11. I honestly don't know what shows you watched, because

Joy has been very outspoken about Bush...

[TheDebbieDee]

27. You're right! You DON'T know which shows I watched!

[WiseButAngrySara]

31. You're right! The few times I've watched the show, Joy has been quite

outspoken against B*. Star, OTOH seemed to support B*. Who knows with Walters... and the others, who cares?

[Sydnie]

3. No way

They are bringing on Rosie to fill a seat there. Can't get more DEM than that, can you?

Star is off the show because she used it as a venue to solicit and then mention (as in unpaid advertising) freebies for her wedding. It became obnoxious and Barbara just couldn't tolerate it any longer. Verbal product placement in exchange for freebies for her personally is what did her in, IMHO. Honestly, I don't watch the show much myself either, but that is what I took from the fall out when she left.

[WiseButAngrySara]

33. Exactly what I was going to post! With a replacement like Rosie, your

Mom's argument doesn't hold logic. (Not your mom Sydnie, but the original op's!)

[Subdivisions]

4. False.

She's off the show becuase she wigged-out, accepting wedding gifts from viewers and refusing to describe (or tell the truth) about her sudden weight loss.

I've always been on the fence with her, all the way back to the OJ thing. But, she has become one strange person.

[I_Make_Mistakes]

5. Meredith is also a Dem I believe. It's that blond can't think of her

name that went to a Bush affair, she is the reason I will not watch The View anymore.

[librechik]

9. Joy CAN't be Republican, can she??? I don't think so!

hmmm. Star is a Dem??? I doubt that too!

[LostinVA]

13. Star is indeed a Dem

[qanda]

16. Joy is definitely NOT a Republican

She is very liberal.

[demosincebirth]

28. I agree.

I seen here on the Bill Maher show this past season and thinks Bush is an idiot.

[PA Democrat]

18. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is the blond Republican

She spoke at the Republican National Convention.

[butterfly77]

21. Hasselbeck is a arrogant little hypocrite...

everytime someone comes on the show and if they say the littlest thing in reference to bush it sets her off. I don't recall anyone getting that upset over any Democratic president. The other day the girl from the soap opera General hospital said that she has been in a relationship for 15 years Hassebeck got all excited about her not being married and said she disagreed and Joy said that she has been with her man for 24 yrs.

Hasselbeck started going off on them about her morals etc.. as she always does so Joy said how long have you known or been with your husband? Hasselbeck said eight years. Joy said so how long have you been married and she said 4 yrs. So joy asked her did she have sex before marriage and Hasselbeck started to get angry and said " Thats none of your business" she seems to be one of those religious riht people who get angry when someone doesn't live the way that she does. She had a conflict a few weegks ago with barbara and other panel members because they didn't agree with her stance on abortion.

[JI7]

26. what a disgusting bitch

i hate this show and i hope it gets cancelled. they fired Debbie for being a bimbo but listen to this survivor bitch's rants on birth control and other things.

and she got angry because these women were in relationships without getting married ? what the fuck for ? and then she says "none of your business" when they bring HER ass up. it's shit like this that makes me even more disgusted with her type.

[a kennedy]

37. But Barbara really likes Elizabeth.....

I think it's gonna be great when Rosie who's not afraid to speak her peace get into it with "the blond". I just can't stand the way she says "we'll be right back" when going to commercial. Can not stand her. I'll switch to "will and grace" reruns when she's doing some segment.

[creeksneakers2]

That blond verbally assaulted Howard Dean

She's as bad as Hannity.

[PA Democrat]

29. I can't remember which Democratic politician was on the View

and Elizabeth looked like she had sour lemons in her mouth. It was either Kerry or Edwards, I think.

It must be difficult for poor Elizabeth being so morally superior. :sarcasm:

[JI7]

32. it was John Edwards and his wife Elizabeth

the stupid freeper bitch had an ugly pissed look towards them the whole time.

[QuestionAll...]

24. that Survivor twit...

haven't seen the show in a long time, but that gal oughta get the big hook off the stage. She is not only a bush licker, but dumb as dirt

[midnight]

35. The blond girl on the view came from surviver?

[QuestionAll...]

38. yes, one of the early episodes. nt

[butterfly77]

42. She also has a show on cable...

where they do makeovers for women. All of this began after survivor, like they say its not what you know but who you Know because this naive bitch doesn't know shit about the real world.

[WiseButAngrySara]

36. I thought Meredith was a Republican. I can't believe I'm commenting on

a show that I hardly ever 'view' (pun intended!) I'm pleased if that's true about Meredith though, because she seems intelligent and sensitive.

[Wonk]

6. I've never watched it, but I heard she loves bashing atheists.

[Pirate Smile]

7. Starr is a Dem but so is Joy and Joy isn't going anywhere.

Rosie is replacing Starr and she is certainly a Democrat too.

I don't think she was fired because she was a Democrat.

[Cha]

20. I think Rosie is replacing

Meredith Viera who is replacing katie who is replacing Bob Scheiffer who replaced Dan Rather who is going to get an hour show on Mark Cuban's HDNet! I had no idea I was going there when I started that sentence!

[LostinVA]

8. Oh yeah -- Rosie is a Republican

I'm not being a b-wrod... but, everyone but Survivor Elisabeth "RW Meme" Hasslbeck, are Liberal or Moderate Dems.

[grateful581]

19. thats too bad

I hate it when hot woman are dumb enough to be a republican.
;)

[otohara]

10. Jones Was Too Wrapped Up In Her New Look

the attorney in her disappeared.

Also, I think when she farmed out the cost of her wedding to various companies to pay for her wedding, it was a big turn off.

[Eric J in MN]

12. Star Jones had low popularity numbers. NT

NT

[Solo_in_MD]

14. No, basically she jumped the shark at her wedding

I am not sure any of the other hosts is a Repuke, and Rosie certainly is not.

[tanyev]

15. Every time I ever saw her after the marriage and the weight loss,

she acted and sounded like a Xanaxed Stepford wife. It was quite a transformation.

[elehhhhna]

25. she plugged all her wedding vendors after pressuring eveyone in NYC

for freebies.

And all that gushing about her creepy husband was toooooo much.

[JuniperLea]

17. Proud to say...

after a gander at that stinky show, I've never watched... so I have no clue.

All I heard in the media is that Jones' weight reduction surgery didn't go over well with the fans. I'd agree that she looked like a much nicer and happier person "before"... but I always felt that story was just that. A story.

[movonne]

22. And replacing her with Rosie O'Donnell, who is liberal all the way...

[elehhhhna]

23. Does Mom think Stars replacement, Rosie O'Donnell, is a NEocon?

lol

[Akim]

30. Starr Jones lost the common touch when she lost the weight. n/t

[soothsayer]

34. No, Star was a 'prize pig' who bled the sponsors for freebies to

an embarassing extent, and now she got the boot

[Akim]

39. Maybe now she can go back to her previous job, relentless defender of ...

Michael Jackson. Although with his declining fortunes, it doesn't pay as well anymore.

[mbee]

40. She's better off and should find herself a real

job! That show is just another boring one for morons!

[Akim]

41. She's a lawyer, you know. Now that she's thin she can chase ambulances n/t

[undeterred]

43. Star was the fat down to earth token black woman doing Payless commercials

(which a lot of women could identify with).

Then she bought herself a new body, a gay husband, and a fancy wedding, like anyone gives a shit.

I think the only year I watched The View Lisa Ling was on, and she was great, and I thought all of them were liberal.
