Probably because Real Housewives topics are only there to soothe the asshole at the right of the table who can't talk about anything political for more than 7-10 minutes before devolving into a screaming fit. They most likely thought Sunny criticizing one of her idols would set the snowflake off, as all opinions and facts that don't agree with her--political or otherwise--are wont to do. I'm glad Sunny, Whoopi, and Joy all took the piss out of Bethenny Frankel. Because I don't like her, the Real Housewives, or The View's resident Housewives fan Rich Bitch McCain. Screw all three. I especially loved that Whoopi used her valley girl voice.

So McCain thinks the other ladies are making the 9/11 fund "partisan" by pointing out that Mitch McConnell and the Republican Majority in the Senate are being partisan on the issue? What she and her mystery R friends think is irrelevant because they are not senators.

McCain’s “political insight” is so repetitive and hollow. She can’t even come up with new phrasing. I think I’ve heard her say “this doesn’t move the needle” at least a thousand times. We get it already, you’re Trump’s cheerleader. Even a videotape of rape or murder wouldn’t “move the needle” for you—just say it and stop pretending. Everyone here was talking about Meacham being a McCain asskiss, but I was only looking forward to seeing Tim McGraw. I mostly didn’t pay attention to the show past the first 10 minutes because neither Joy or Ana were there. I like Sunny, but she can’t lift this show by herself.

I agree. Sara was a true moderate which the show needs. McCain pretending to be moderate this morning was LOLworthy. She's as extreme as the day is long. Hopefully McCain is fired at the end of this season the way she deserves. Sara returning would be the icing on the cake. I'm sure Whoopi would be happier with Sara around, too. They attempted to get Elisabeth to come back at the end of last season to get rid of McCain, and I can only imagine things are even more tense and unbearable for everyone at the show now than they were at the end of last year solely because of her. Joy's re-negotiating a new contract this year and there's no doubt she wants her gone. And if Whoopi's over her, too, as she has seemed to be since returning after her pneumonia scare, then McCain's definitely more likely to get the ax.

I love-love-loved Whoopi finally putting that f-ing brat in her place. Acting like she’s been silenced when she’s the loudest one on this show who never lets anyone else speak. And so much for continuing that first topic where she screamed over Ana and Sunny to the point Whoopi needed to go to break to salvage the show. She needs to be kicked out on the street.

Another week with a good guest list. Surprising.

I think it's because Joy had cataract surgery and didn't want to moderate Friday's, and Whoopi only does 4 days a week. They must've recorded after Thursday's show. I can't get over how strange Friday was. First Whoopi takes them to commercial prematurely at the end of the first segment, saying they'll continue talking about this. My first reaction was, "Yeah, right." That's code for, "We're trying to prevent the baby from having a screaming meltdown and this topic will never be heard again." Then for once they actually did come back talking about it still, except they were only on for like 1 minute before back to commercials again. Then after the break for some reason they were still talking about it. LOL My guess is they were trying to give Joy a chance to record what she wanted to say without being shouted over in that 1-minute second segment. I'm sure McCain was screaming in rage at everyone during those commercials--producers, co-hosts, audience, etc.--for daring to ask her to explain her beliefs even though she didn't have the answers on her blue cards and then she was barely containing herself when they were on-air. She really needs to see someone over her anger issues. Her behavior is not normal. Even with the rest of the show being a trainwreck, Mindy Kaling was a lovely interview as expected.

Since we were just talking about McCain’s hypocrisy when calling herself a LGBT ally, I saw a write-up calling her out for the same. And it's so on-point in denigrating ABC and The View for being complicit. Warning for foul language, lol. http://www.pajiba.com/celebrities_are_better_than_you/meghan-mccain-keeps-acting-like-her-husband-doesnt-publish-transphobic-website.php

McCain shows how out of her depth she is during shows like today’s. She works by soundbytes only, not intelligent thought or complex conversation. I’m glad that the whole table treated her like the buffoon she is for calling basic things like social security, Roe v. Wade, affordable college “far left" and attacking Ana yet again. And the biggest snowflake that ever snowflake’d decided to ask Jeff Ross about people who can’t take a joke? The same woman who was so upset by some joke she asked Ana Navarro to repeat that she had The View put on an infomercial for Arizona the following day? No wonder she doesn’t understand how Ana calls herself a Republican, because she’s jumped all in on this absurdly false act that Ana has too much principles to descend to. When she goes on her victim spiel about being a Republican in New York, the other panelists should ask her why FOX viewers hated her, too?

I loved that Joy compared the Straight Pride Parade to the “All Lives Matter” responses to Black Lives Matter. Watching that segment, I was hoping somebody would say it. Also loved Ana correcting McCain in that same segment that her Arizona senator is not a Republican—and it’s the Republican Majority that are the Straight Pride Parade her joke referred to. What a moron. My grandparents, who I grew up right next to, had around 15-20 cows. They're harmless, unlike this viper. Since we're on the subject, I'd take a real, live cow at the table over her. Think of all the media exposure a cow could get the show!!! All those juicy news articles about how it slobbered on the table unexpectedly, took a dump on an audience member, or moo-ed in Joy's face. Not too different from what McCain "adds" to the show and ABC could save themselves a million at the same time!

All this x100! She's no ally. She just wants to have gay people kiss her ass while she shills for the people oppressing them.

So happy to see Joy back today. It’s not The View without her. She’s right about the creepy doublespeak that has become common now. Her joke about only seeing white while talking to Whoopi was hilarious, and so was Whoopi's reaction. Whoopi was in a good mood again today. One of the few topics I actually enjoy hearing from Whoopi on is abortion. Most of the time her thoughts are meandering or nonsense, but I enjoy hearing her talk about that subject. Maybe personal experience is the difference? I think Ana is the closest to a re-creation of Joy that I’ve seen on this show. She can be funny, serious, relatable, tactful, occasionally profound—she has it all. I appreciate Sunny for her legal expertise, calm-headedness, and how prepared she always is, but Ana’s right there with her for me. I see Ana as Sara’s true replacement because she completes the trio of good panelists that Sara, Joy, and Sunny were for this show. Those three are what pulled this show up out of the trainwreck caused by Raven, McCarthy, and the Whoopettes. I love Wanda Sykes. Too bad she didn’t get more time. I didn’t mind Swalwell either, even though I didn’t really know him before now. Too bad Moss, Kaling, and RuPaul couldn’t be on days when the monster is out, too. I wish Tara had been there with the rest of the ladies today, but I’m just happy to have a day of The View again. This is what the show really is and should be. Relegate the screaming, faux-crying, tantrums, tension, histrionics, and general idiocy to Bravo and E! where it belongs.

I thought Whoopi was actually fun for the first time in a while today. I hope she's aware of it and realizes that the reason everybody is tense is because of the snowflake she inflicted on this show. If Ana can't be there everyday, then Tara would be a good replacement for McCain. I don't think there's anything wrong with Abby aside from general disagreement with her opinons.

McCain's question about late night hosts was so funny. "Would you be a big meanie to me, too, David?" It must be SO HARD to go among comedians when you have no sense of humor. As far as her insinuation that late night hosts are one-sided and it's harder for conservatives yadda yadda, even if we were to assume that was true (and I don't think it is), wasn't this the same woman who just went after Elizabeth Warren for not going on FOX News yesterday?

OMG, this is the funniest thing ever. No doubt she'll stop all the Hot Topics to devote 20 minutes to crying about it tomorrow.
