ABC Interrupted Kate Upton On ‘Live With Kelly And Michael’

Kelly Ripa is on vacation this week so Live With Kelly and Michael scrambled to find women capable of making moms (and bloggers at home) laugh at crappy jokes. Today’s guest host was Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton. You may have heard of her.

During the show’s opening monologue, while Michael told a riveting story about Kate Upton in a robe, ABC cutaway to breaking news. The U.S. had just launched airstrikes in Iraq against Islamic militant group, ISIS. Important news no doubt, and certainly worthy of interrupting Michael Strahan’s boring story about a half-naked Kate Upton and wait, what’s that? People were angry? You don’t say.

State of the nation (and unfortunately the electorate).

Expect the unexpec -

ted.

[Balding_Eagle]

Fair observation.

Should any baseball games, or movies been interrupted also?

[dfwgator]

I’d rather watch Kate Upton than watch Obama talk about some meaningless gesture that isn’t going to solve a damn thing.

[NCC-1701]

Me too. I am sick if listening to obama. His whistling when he bloviates is getting worse. I therefore try to avoid his auditory offenses whenever possible.

They interrupted two AWESOME boobs - for ONE dumb boob ?!?

Bad trade.

[SevenofNine]

Me too I rather watch Kate Upton than Obama LOL!

I am a woman LOL!

I think what this country divide in people who want to know people who just collect welfare checks waking up to watch Michael and Kelly and Jerry Springer in my area 9 am and 10am

I can understand why ABC viewers were upset. If they wanted news they’d be watching Fox.

If they wanted news they’d be watching Fox.

Faux News has even more fluff than ABC.

[Labyrinthos]

At least they didn’t interrupt them for “Heidi.” (If you are under the age of 50, you won’t have a clue.)

trashy harlot

[TigersEye]

I’ll have to take your word for it. I don’t consider Fox to be terrific but I don’t tune in any of the other news channels.

[DaxtonBrown]

She’s a bit of a slut, even for me.

Hence the need for conservative/patriotic pop culture. The majority of people in this nation are media-lobotomized zombies, and the Left has long used this to their advantage. Why the he!! aren't we? Take our pro-American, pro-individual, pro-business, pro-traditional values message, flavor it with some "get off your a** and do something" leaves, and wrap it in a package that dumbed-down daytime TV viewers will accept. Why not do that?

Oh yeah, I forgot...conservatives hate anything have to do with arts and entertainment. Awwwww shucks...who really wants that pesky responsibility of governing ourselves, anyway? Besides, American Idol is coming on in a half hour, and the pizza should be here soon...

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I’m sure Justin Verlander would appreciate hearing that he’s dating a trashy harlot.

Now, if he blows it in the World Series, I’ll be right there with you, though. ;)

[TigersEye]

That’s the best kind! ;-)
