Jenny McCarthy booted off The View...

I am biased because I just never liked her even before the vaccine brouhaha. I didn't understand why the producers of The View would ever believe anybody wanted to see and hear her every day. Buh bye now.

"The View," a daytime TV pillar and until last month headed by a TV legend, has come undone: ABC and its production partners on the franchise late Thursday fired Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy, leaving just Whoopi Goldberg, who joined the show in 2007, as the only current castmember.

I'm so happy that Whoopi is still on The View!

Hell, I would even start watching if she got into some good arguments with herself.

righteously so.
I never missed one of her movies but I didn't know about her feelings regarding real life issues until now.
I am impressed by her participation on The View more than I ever was by anything in the past.

In addition to everything else ...
Whoopi wears great shoes. Watching talk shows host entering the set each day is a treat.

No loss whatsoever. Sherri "I'll have to look it up to know if the earth is flat" Shepherd and Jenny "I'm so hip" McCarthy will have to find some other job.

Don't think she's attractive, her personality is repellant, and never bought into her "what guys want" beliefs (a girl who burps, farts, and picks her nose). And in terms of her medical advice, no thanks.

some kind of revenge by picking irritating ones like them, HASSELHOFF(sp), and Rosie. It's not about different POVs, it's like just plain IRRITATION.

mostly because of the anti-vaccination stance, but also because she is just dumb as hell. After seeing the recent transcripts of Sheri Shepherd on abortion I thought she's just as bad.

other than she was a comedian. I don't know what else she's done. I wonder what makes these celebs think they are experts on anything!
