Interesting you say that ... I'd never actually seen her before so I clicked over to the View to watch the segment. I couldn't put a finger on it, but I think you're close or even right. It's weird to see a narcissistic mentally retarded person ... no one has ever given her legitimate feedback - there is no honest mirror in her life. She's unthougtful, not funny, not original, boring and uncharismatic and not pleasant to look at, but not ugly enough to be of any note. You feel kind of sorry for her, and yet she holds all the hosts PC hostage. they don't seem to like her ... they seem to be mildly patronizing and putting up with her on the show, but she doesn't get it. In a way its cruel that the world lies to her ... she seems far too simple to even have a choice about whether she's part of a religious cult.
It seems like many conservatives hate her ... I just feel kind of sorry for her. It's like when the football star dates the ugly girl on a dare or to be cruel.
