Nicolle Wallace, a longtime George W. Bush communications chief and John McCain senior campaign advisor, is going to be a new host of The View alongside Rosie Perez, Rosie ODonnell and Whoopi Goldberg.
Wallace, one assumes, is meant to fill the conservative chair left when former "Survivor" contestant Elizabeth Hasselbeck was let go, but Wallace, 42, comes off as far brainier than Hasselbeck and a lot less angry than the likes of Ann Coulter.
In the HBO movie Game Change, Sarah Paulson played Wallace as someone who had some difficulty tolerating Sarah Palins antics. (Paulson was nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal of Wallace.)
The HBO project revealed that Wallace ultimately could not bring herself to vote for McCain as long as Sarah Palin was on McCains ticket.
Wallace disputed much of what Palin wrote about Wallace in the book "Going Rogue"
Wallaces hiring is not great news for Palin, who over the summer seemed to be campaigning for a regular View slot of her own.
"I hear everyone recently got canned from 'The View,' Palin told The Hollywood Reporter in July. Maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America's heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts. You know, someone willing to go rogue."

(3,724 posts)cannot share the spotlight. It's supposed to be an ensemble show, and Palin doesn't seem to play well with others. But it's extra delicious that they picked the woman from McCain's campaign who couldn't bring herself to vote for him because of Palin - LOL!

(5,842 posts)I don't get her continued support of Christie but on the other hand Wallace can formulate an original thought unlike her predecessor who seemed to get all her talking points straight from Hannity.
