over a smart or stupid Monica and over any of the old bags on "The View!"

THE new cast of women on "The View" waited just three days for their first knock-down fight.
The verbal brawl surprisingly included typically staid Barbara Walters briefly losing her temper with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck - before pulling herself together and calming down.
The outburst began when Hasselbeck mentioned Monica Lewinsky in a discussion about presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon religion and how a small sect of Mormons still practice polygamy.
The Monica reference triggered an avalanche of reaction from Whoopi Goldberg - and then Barbara.
"This is a good woman who has gotten a masters degree at the London School of Economics!" raged Walters, poking her finger at Hasselbeck's face. She pulled her hand back suddenly, took a flustered breath, and continued in a calmer tone.
"She's doing her best to have a life. Enough with Monica, everybody can move on."
Goldberg requested that Hasselbeck - a conservative who famously clashed with Rosie O'Donnell last season - not bring Lewinsky up again.
"I'm asking you to do me a favor because there's no reason for it today," Goldberg said. "This has nothing to do with Bill Clinton."
Goldberg is a longstanding friend and fundraiser for the Clintons.
Hasselbeck justified mentioning Lewinsky because the women were joking about Romney announcing he had a second wife.
"You're worried if some other woman would come out of the closet as the 'other woman,' " Hasselbeck sputtered. "It's not that much of a jump" to Monica.
"We've seen that before where another woman popped up" in the White House, she said

2, Walters is a huge Hillary fan and will just about anything to ensure public is not reminded of "I did not have sex with that woman.... Miss Lewsinski ..... well, maybe I did.... or maybe she just had sex with me...."
3, Whoopie is so pro-Hillary... for reasons that no one dare speak of, of course.....
I guess I have to agree with Rosie, the old bat should retire.
I think Barbara gets stoned before the show.

At every available opportunity the public needs to be reminded that Hillary “DIDN’T KNOW” about Monica and “DIDN’T KNOW” about Hsu.
Is anyone really ready to elect the first blind President?
And the remark was not a slam of Ms. Lewinsky, who has never held public office and HAS moved on. It was a slam of Bill Clinton who held the highest elected office in the land and betrayed that office (not to mention his family).
I agree Ms Lewinsky, a private citizen, should be allowed to move on. However, Bill Clinton's legacy as President, as an elected official, carries a permanent stain.
Bizarre topic from start to finish.
But when Elizabeth mentioned that we've been there before, all the Leftists freaked out and basically said "How dare you talk such trash about fine people such as Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton?? They don't deserve to be slimed by your innuendo!!"
Crazy people.
Dont forget, GWB tricked her into voting for the war in Iraq.
She’s a genius
I've seen this kind of left wing double standard my whole life. They were dishing it out, but they couldn't take it. Didn't like the REALITY that Romney is moral, but Clinton had pigs hiding under the desk.
How can you ‘move on’ from something that’s never been allowed to be discussed?
It was ‘old news’ the day the story broke.
It’s not settled to my satisfaction
Not by a long shot
Idiots watch the View! Idiots consider what the View idiots consider as important! What babba wawwa thinks is of no concern to me.....
the offending conservative
” I think Barbara gets stoned before the show. “
Wouldn’t you?
Who's? Norman Hsu's?
Don’t suppose that conversation ever mentioned that Harry Reid is a Mormon did it?
Liberal democrats like Barbara and Whoopie only want to talk about Republican scandals, endlessly. Their sides $hit don’t stink.
“I think Barbara gets stoned before the show.”
I think the audience does, too. Look no further for evidence of the continuing decline of America. ;)
Me either...I’ve only seen clips of the show & I wouldn’t waste my time ever watching The View.
