The human body’s healing abilities are amazing. Cut it and it will heal. If you break a bone, it will heal. It can pretty much recover from most traumas. This is what the women on the View, much to their chagrin, found out with that pesky regrowth of gray matter.
After a two week hiatus the View has returned. While the hosts were out, it is rather obvious they had surgery. At some point their brains may have been trying to regrow gray matter and they had it surgically removed. They must be required to undergo a CT scan twice a year by the network. The CT scan must have revealed some regrowth of gray matter. Now this surgery has a financial link. If they came back on the show and showed a semblance of intelligence then they would be at risk of losing their core audience. This would have catastrophic monetary consequences for them personally and for the network.
Whoopi Goldberg was the guest host. In order get her intelligence on par with the regulars, she had to sit in the green room and watch two hours of highlights of The View featuring Rosie O’Donnell. This is guaranteed to temporarily drop an IQ to around 72. On their return they decided to flex their collective intellectual might by discussing the Scooter Libby sentence commutation. They are a week late and few billion brain cells short of adding anything of any substance to the subject. It is yesterday’s news.
Here are a few highlights of their chatter on the subject:
- JOY BEHAR: Paris got more time than “Scooter” Libby. He got no time
- WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Don’t get me started about “Scooter.”
- GOLDBERG: But they’re supposed to, they’re supposed to wait.
- HASSELBECK: What about Clinton’s pardons? You don’t-
- BEHAR: It’s ancient history. We’re talking about now.
If you read the whole transcript, they debated the facts of the case and the constitutionality of the commutation. They did not get one fact correct concerning the issue. They apparently never read Article 2 Section 2 of the Constitution but wanted to share their interpretation of it. Even the token conservative and former reality show star, Elizabeth Hasslelbeck, was unable to defend Bush’s decision on Scooter Libby’s sentence commutation because she does not understand the facts and is incapable of getting them straight.
