Ron Paul to Appear on 'The View'

It was a big moment for Rep. Ron Paul, R-Tex, and his presidential candidacy when he appeared in late October on the Tonight Show, sandwiched between Tom Cruise and the Sex Pistols.

But Paul will take his libertarian-tinged Republican ethos in another direction Tuesday, when he marches straight into the henhouse.

He'll appear opposite Whoopi, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and Kate Walsh of Gray's Anatomy and Private Practice fame, who co hosting in the absence of Elizabeth Hasselbeck on ABC's woman-oriented chat show 'The View' Tuesday.

Its unlikely that the Texas OB-Gyn has ever himself seen The View. He doesn't watch much TV and says he has never watched a reality TV show. Paul is more knowledgeable about the Austrian School of Economics and why the United Sates Treasury should not be printing money, odd topics about which to crow on The View.

The other guest on Tuesday's episode of The View will be Abigail Breslin, the child star.

Paul is not the first Presidential candidate to appear on the show, but he will apparently be the first Republican.

In October, Sen. Hillary Clinton kicked off a week-long "Women Changing America Tour" with an appearance on the show.

Will he be replacing Whoopi Goldberg as the show’s resident nut?

“Kate Walsh of Gray’s Anatomy and Private Practice fame, who co hosting in the absence of Elizabeth Hasselbeck”

Ronald Ernest Paul, old hippie, Free Sex, Free Drugs
and free Huey! ( Dewey and Louie too).:)

Here is his theme song.
Shrimp boats is a-comin, their pork is in sight.
Shrimp boats is a-comin, they will be druggies tonight.

"Pegged at nuthin."

Yeah...I'm not surprised Whoopee would love to have an anti-war rant on THAT venue.

[JRochelle]

If I could bring myself to watch The View tomorrow I would, just for the quackery that will be on display.

[traditional1]

Can you imagine FRed or Duncan being “invited” to debate those Liberal queens?

[cripplecreek]

Tag team debating would be awesome.

[jiggyboy]

That will be like a televised version of Coast To Coast AM. The hosts are nuts, the guests are nuts, the callers are nuts, and half the audience is nuts.

Paul is more knowledgeable about the Austrian School of Economics and why the United Sates Treasury should not be printing money...

He's so knowledgeable about it, he's completely wrong.

If it is possible for Ron Paul to become less relevant, someone do let me know, please.
I used to think he was an interesting, odd, principled man.
Now I think he’s just odd.

[mylife]

Theres a show I’m sure to miss

[RDTF]

thinking about him being an OBGYN is a little creepy

[Scarchin]

Scrappleface becomes reality

[JRochelle]

He does have his supporters though.

The only bumperstickers or yard signs I have seen so far this election season have been for Ron Paul.

They are rabid.

Democrat and former North Carolina Senator Edwards and his wife Elizabeth cancelled their appearance on the show in solidarity with striking Writers Guild of America union members who work for the show. Michelle Obama, the wife of Illinois Senator and Democrat Barack Obama, backed out on a temporary co-hosting gig for the same reason.

polls are oot on appearing on Veew! Henhouse! cackle

A loser being interviewed by losers.
