A Dim View of "The View"
I'm glad to see Rosie O'Donnell return to the land of the daytime talk show; I think she's good at it. She seemed to need time to deal with her angry "I'm-a-lesbian-and-tired-of-being-closeted-and-forced-into-pretending-i'm-in-love-with-tom-cruise" issues. Now she seems to be in fine form to take over from the ridiculous Star Jones on the preposterous girl/woman gabfest "The View." The only version of that show worth airing, in my opinion, is the spoof of it from SNL, staring Rachel Dratch, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph.
And what is with Barbara Walters' piranha-like (or ill-tempered sea-bass-like?), ice-cold, on-air barring of Jones from ever returning to the show? Walters must be more shark-like than her front teeth would suggest.
It's funny--the musical chairs of high-profile network personalities that is taking place, precipitated, most likely, by Katie Couric's pathlogically cheerful departure from wherever she was (you can tell how closely i follow these morning talk shows) to the CBS Evening News anchor's desk, Meredith Vieira's move from "The View" to Couric's position, and some guy from ABC's morning yawnfest's move to the ABC Nightly News.
Oh, and a bitter Dan Rather was the one who ended up without a seat, leaving CBS unceremoniously after having been involuntarily demoted.
