If you think one has to be a former Press Sec. to the POTUS to be "qualified" to be on a daytime talk show, I suggest you should examine your thinking.
Perino is a walking, talking commercial for Romney!
Liz Cheney would be great and makes Perino look like an amateur...but she's too busy doing relevant things to be on a daily talk show.
BTW, The Five is patterned after The View and not supposed to be taken too seriously... IMO.
Of course Liz Cheney would be better - she has more qualifications than Dana.
I don’t think of it as just another “daytime talk show” like The View. Those people are all Hollywood airheads.
The people of The Five all have college degreees and political or business job histories...with the exception Of Gutfeld (or whatever his name is - talk about trying to appeal to the lowest commmon denominator).
