The View


There are no good reasons for ‘The View’ to exist other than to afford Barbara Walters the opportunity to be in broadcasting longer than Arthur Godfrey.

I'm sure however harsh this sentiment is, it's not the only one. Nor, I'm sure would an opninion of praise be the only one. It's a big world, with a lot of time and a lot of stations. It's the punch line to a great Myron Cohen joke: everybody's got to be someplace. (Of course Myron Cohen's joke has to do with a lover being discovered in a bedroom closet by a husband whose wife is under the sheets, but this shouldn't get in the way of anything.)

Even the president has to be someplace when he's not where he usually might be. How else to explain President Obama dovetailing a New York fund raising appearance with an appearance on the show.

And there we have it. A front page tabloid picture of President Obama once again on a show with 5 women.

I don't know how a guy crosses his legs like they do and still manages to sit still.
