Ladies Of ABC'S The View Shamelessly Demoralize The Troops (Debbie Schlussel On Smarmy Shtick Alert)

"Ladies" of ABC's "The View" Shamelessly Demoralize Troops

By Debbie Schlussel

Cindy Sheehan could learn a few moves from the annoying "ladies" of ABC's "The View." She's shameless, but they are more so.

This morning, the "ladies" of "The View" pretended to play employment agency with a soldier who served in Iraq and helped catch Saddam Hussein. But what they really meant to do was demoralize the rest of the troops and the rest of the us. And use this poor soldier to promote themselves.

Spc. Jeans Cruz appeared on the anti-male yenta-fest, today, with this repeatedly popping up on the chyron: "Says He Can't Find a Job After Capturing Saddam Hussein".

First a video showing Paul Bremer announcing, "We got him" and Saddam's vivid capture, was shown.

Then, like a doe in the headlights, Cruz was treated to the deep thinking, progesterone over-infused "ladies" of "The View". The "ladies"--including and especially buffoonish Star Jones--expressed concern and dismay that Cruz can't find a job. They asked him if he has PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), and he said yes. Jones, who repeatedly turned on an off her accent, exclaimed "We go'n get you a job!" after Meredith Vieira admonished "politicians who praise the soldiers who are fighting the war, but it's really hollow praise."

3 Things Star Jones & Monica Lewinsky Have in Common: Cigars, Lots of Food, and Tubs ... er, Women We Don't Want to See in a Tub At the end of the show, Vieira announced that "we are not going to forget this." Of course, they won't. There would be no more publicity, self-adulation, and opportunity to bash the efforts in Iraq, if they "forgot this." Star Jones yelled that, for once, it was good there was someone from each political party on the panel because, "We go'n make same calls. We go'n call everybody." Her garish behavior, today, outdid even her garish, over-hyped $2 million wedding.

All but one of the women--Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who claims to be a conservative, but also participated in this shameful display--oppose the war in Iraq. I feel bad for Cruz, but he was used by these women. If and when he finds a job, he will be used by them again. They should be ashamed. But, alas, they are shameless. Even more shameless than Air America's Randi Rhodes and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, both of whom have already similarly used Cruz (to make their point that if you serve in Iraq and catch Saddam, you will return home thankless and unemployed).

The "ladies" of "The View" do not care a lick about our soldiers. If they did, they'd stop harping on President Bush and the war, repeatedly. And they would find Cruz a job off the airwaves, and without the publicity that they crave.

A smarmy shtick. You'd think a soldier can find a job. The "View Gals" don't care a whit for this Spc. Jeans Cruz. Its just another way to slam the war and get off a shot at President Bush for being heartless to the troops. Which ties in with Jihad Cindy's agenda. Supporting the troops? I think not Like Debbie Schlussel says, if you think Cindy Sheehan is shameless, you haven't watched that channel today.

I see. So Bush should force an employer to hire Mr. Cruz at gunpoint? What exactly do these tarts want Bush to do for this man? Can he not get treatment for PTSD through the VA?

My 94 year old mother called them a "bunch of whomping morons."

Mum was never one to sugarcoat anything, after all.

I'm sure our troops have better things to do then watch this tripe. I've only seen the show a couple of times, but always feel a couple IQ points lighter after watching it. Yuck.

By the way, do we know for sure that this guy was part of the crew that captured Saddam? This to me sounds like one of these phony potemkin village type characters the liberals invent a resume around to then bash their enemies with. I would be really curious to know if this guy ACTUALLY was involved in Saddam's capture. Or was he part of the same battalion or division and so they just extrapolated that to claim he was part of the group that actually Saddam? Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if we found out this guy never even served in Iraq.

I don't know, I hate to be such a cynic, but I've seen enough of these liberal phony straw men to just accept on blind faith that this guy is who the media claims he is. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But something about this doesn't meet the smell test.

Fox (perhaps Fox News) should consider a similarly-demographic'd show, except that no more than half of the sofa would have liberals on it. Get some liberal AND some conservative women.

Question for those nasty broads on 'The View:'

Why didn't your mother abort you? You believe in "choice," right?

I once observed what these mooh-moohs did to Laura Ingram when her new book " Shut up a Sing" came out. It was like listening to a herd of cows who just noticed that the farmer placed some ears of corn in the troth.

I'll bet the guy in the bottom right is the "pony-tail" guy from the the Clinton-Bush debate.

From other articles I've read this guy is 24 years old with computer training, nursing skills, military experience.

Supposedly, nobody will hire him. What is the rest of the story?

Registered nurses are in high demand. What exactly are his computer skills?

Many companies give preferential treatment to vets even when there is not a war.

More importantly, what does it say on his DD214 and what is his attitude?

Waiting for the rest of the story.
