...and she was born/raised in the Phoenix area.  Snowbirds?  They probably outnumber the AZ natives for six months every year.

Maybe Meghan will take tomorrow off to avoid embarrassing herself more than she did today.

It'll take her that long just to get the eye shadow off lol

Nope, Sunny's my girl and super smart but I've totally noticed too. She uses um in every other sentence. I don't remember her doing this as much before either. Hopefully she is okay. I wondered if it was due to recent anxiety or something.

I was trying to look behind Meghan to see the time capsule that she may have jumped out of...based on her eye shadow and white vinyl faux-crocodile jacket, she looked like she stepped out of the early 1970's.  I swear, my sister wore that same color eye shadow (painted on, as was Meghan's) and wore a very similar jacket in 1971!!!  Shades of Peggy Lipton in the "The Mod Squad"!!  

My other comment on today's show was that I feel horrible for that doctor from Texas.  What a shame that he is being penalized for making good use of leftover vaccines, following all the correct protocols and directives rather than toss them in the trash.  Compare that with the other story about DeSantis doling out vaccines to "friends and big contributors" - what hypocrisy are we dealing with here?  How could this doctor possibly be censured/charged with a crime in any way?  How ridiculous is that???  

Oh, and during Meghan's questioning segment with the doctor, two things stood out.  First, I think she almost asked him when and where "I, Meghan McCain, co-host of The View" will be able to get a vaccine, but she sort of stutter-stepped and caught herself, instead asking about the debacle the vaccine roll-out is.  I think she realized that she would have gotten ripped in the media again, if she asked what she really wanted to.

The second thing is - she asked him when he thought the country would be able to "get back to normal", or words to that effect.  The doctor sort of ignored her question, instead telling her what he misses and wants to get back to doing.  I honestly think that any health professional appearing on the show will NOT be answering Meghan's questions in regard to anything that she could use in the future to throw them under the bus in the same way she is doing with Dr. Fauci.  No health professional will want to hear Meghan, in six months or so, repeating their words completely out of context to suit her negative narrative.

Is she responding to the backlash she receives online for the stupid stuff she says on the show?  Otherwise I haven't seen any wide spread labeling or shunning of non-Trump republicans like Adam Kinzinger or Liz Cheney.   If anything those people are getting plenty of positive attention from so called "liberal" media.   Heck her own mother is getting great press right now.   She would too, if she took that approach instead of defending the indefensible.  

I generally tend to like MM's more creative looks even when no one else does.... But that eye shadow today...... yikes!!! 

Triple yikes on the eyeshadow.  When I thought she was doing her own I figured she was inept.  Now that we know she’s in a studio with makeup artist...wow they must hate her, but apparently she has no fashion sense either as she’s willing to go out like that.  Also I noticed in the Ron Johnson discussion she didn’t talk about him...she avoided the issues and went off on the insurrection itself...also getting in how “close” she was to the whole thing.  Ugh!

The fact this doctor was charged for not wasting vaccines by tracking down eligible people is beyond ridiculous.  Especially since there are non eligible people hanging around vaccine clinics and getting vaccinated at the end of the day when there are left over doses and scheduled people haven't shown up.  

Yeah, I don’t get this.  You don’t want them to go to waste. I’m in the Seattle area and one provider had a freezer failure at night.  They contacted another provider nearby and gave them the doses to use.  They did shots between 11 pm and 2:30 am to pretty much anyone who could get there.  They prioritized the 65 and older people who could get ther,  but once those were done it was anyone else who could get to the place.  It’s not ideal in terms of priorities,  but nothing got wasted and that’s what was ultimately most important.

She did say that.  And as Sunny said which 13% got vaccinated is being questioned.

Meghan also threw in there that New Yorkers are flying down to Palm Beach because they like it better there.  What does that have to do with anything?

They’re flying there because they know if they have money they can get vaccinated.  And that should be stopped.  He did do pop ups in affluent areas, ignoring POC.  Florida isnt doing better than others as was pointed out and, if you look at that chart, most states are pretty much the same in terms of rates of vaccinations.  Don’t know where M gets her bad info.  But anything to support a Republican and/or diss a Democrat I guess.  Can’t believe she actually gave the correct numbers and still said Florida did better. Also CA has a population of almost 40 million and lost 135,000...not exactly a major exodus MeAgain.

He called Tammy Duckworth, a combat veteran of the Iraq war who lost both her legs, a coward and a fraud. I'm sure his blood would boil if that were said about a straight white male veteran. Tucker's top writer resigned after he was busted posting bigoted comments online towards Asians, black people, women, and I believe he threw some homophobia in there for good measure as well.

Agree!  And don’t forget he recently did an entire segment on how the Biden’s don’t really love each other and that their affection is all for show and ratings.  Can he stoop any lower?

It's interesting to me,  the hosts of the show, and their appearances.   Sunny changes her hair from time to time, but then will stick to a style for a while, with minor changes.  Sarah will play around with different styles, but stay mostly in the same wheelhouse.  Both Sunny and Sarah use a lot of makeup, sometimes it looks great, other times it's overdone.  Sunny needs to dial back the contouring at times.    Whoopi and Joy have the same hair and makeup  for weeks at a time - they might make a change, but then stick to that style.  WIth all 4, there are only minor changes within one week of shows, normal variations in hair and makeup.

Meghan must think she is Tyra Banks.   Her style goes from one extreme to the opposite on a day-by-day basis.  Hairpieces, elaborate hair styles, shiny, glittery makeup and hair accessories,  bright colors, too much sparkle, and what she looks like today has no resemblance to what she looked like yesterday.  

What's weird is that the others pretty much know that their job is a silly talk show.  they give opinions, talk about news items and sell stuff,  Meghan is the only one who thinks that she is some sort of political pundit/personality/commentator,  who has serious influence over others' opinions.   But Meghan is the only one whose appearance makes it impossible to take her seriously.

I didnt think she was talking about Snowbirds as much as she meant retirees. It’s coincidence that the warm weather states are typically red. We’re going to retire in a couple years to FL but as much as I look forward to snowless winters, I dread the political climate.

A county map of FL shows exactly who got the vaxx. The 13% (or whatever) is definitely skewed in favor of wealthy counties.

OMG!!!  MeAgain really effed up today.  Did anyone notice she confused Linsey Davis, ABC's weekend news anchor, with NBC's Kristen Welker???  She went on and on saying she should be the sole moderator of any future presidential debates and she, as a conservative, appreciated the tough questions she asked.  Linsey smiled.  She's thinking of the final debate moderated by Welker, who did an excellent job and was applauded by both sides, including the former guy in the White House.  How embarrassing for Little Miss Know it All.  Confusing women of color of all things.  Wonder what her BFF Sunny thinks about that.  She's as dumb as a rock.  There are no words.

Linsey did moderate a Dem primary debate and was lauded for asking tough questions to Biden and Harris.  Meg may have been referencing that.

That's an interesting point. I have noticed that her accent comes out at certain times. You can hear it in the way she says "more" in this clip. I don't think her accent is a bad thing, but I can understand why she'd want to have a more neutral accent since she works on TV.

From the article posted above on Raw Story, MeAgain's diatribe from today's show, which made very little sense when I heard it on the show, but I was blinded by the blue lights, so I took the opportunity to read it.

"For me, I expected for Democrats to be happy and wanting Republicans like me to be open to their side of the party [really, MeAgain, you think Dems want you?], and all I hear almost hourly, if it's on social media or on TV, is the world is coming to an end and it's all Republicans' fault [well they did allow an insurrection and continue to allow the Big Lie of the Steal to be perpetuated; they are still embracing Trump and his ilk which will hurt the country]-- screw Trump and anybody who has been associated with the Republican Party in any capacity for the last 50 years [you jumped from screw Trump, to screw anyone associated with the Repub party in any capacity in 50 years--hyper-bowl much?]," McCain said.

However, she immediately admitted there wasn't much common ground between herself and most Democrats.

"There is no home for me on the left in any capacity, whatsoever,[you made this perfectly clear MeAgain, years ago when you said you could never support the Dems because of infanticide and stealing your guns...oh and socialism]" McCain said. "The fact that I watch Tucker Carlson's show is probably blaspheming enough in the house of politics [what actually does 'blaspheming enough in the house of politics mean'?], and, by the way, there's a lot of Republicans in the country that were really opening to working with the other side, and all I feel is anger and hate and, arguably, more vitriol than happened during the Trump years simply because you're associated for being a Republican. So it's open season for someone like [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis [she must be projecting at this point]. You just can't isolate non-Trump Republicans like me going forward, because I'm not going to be voting for a Democrat [which you have said for many years]."

Host Whoopi Goldberg was briefly taken aback by the outburst, but said McCain should look a little more carefully at DeSantis' record on delivering vaccines to all Floridians.

"Well, I wouldn't expect you to vote for a Democrat," Goldberg said. "But I would expect that you know the difference between right and wrong. You are a smart person [new strategy from Whoopi!], and you know that when somebody says, 'I'm going to give this vaccine to my friends,' instead of saying, 'You know, I want to make sure that  everybody in my state gets it,' maybe that's -- that's not the best thing you want to hear, and it would be nice if somebody on the Republican side [did]."

Serious question is MeeAgain sending signals by blinking ?  

She could be blinking "Republican" over and over and over again, since it's already every other word she says. Or maybe "Destroy Joy Behar!!!" Tbh, I'm always suspicious of people who blink a great deal. Sometimes it's obviously nervousness, but when that doesn't seem to be the case, mostly I take it as a sign someone is lying.

Or a Democratic state. She also stated as fact that California will lose a congressional seat. Although several news outlets (including NBC News' Meet the Press) speculate that California will lose one seat, the U.S. Census Bureau will not have the reapportionment results ready until April 30, 2021!  Nobody knows for sure how the math will work out with the unannounced 2020 Census.

That doesn't really bother me but what does bother me is that Sunny never looks in the camera while talking.  She did this in the studio also.  She never looks at the person while talking.  She's always looking off to the side for some reason.

Did Meganutz really say people were moving to Florida from NY because it's a well-run state ?  And no one laughed at her or bothered to counter her statements with the truth ?

I can introduce her to dozens of family members, neighbors, former colleagues, and friends, who all moved to Florida from New England and New York because there are no income taxes there. They move from RI and MA  once they retire from well-paying jobs  because of the 'no income tax' in Florida on their seven-figure pensions, because they can buy a mansion down there for the same price as a three bedroom city home in the northeast, and because the weather is warmer in the winter. It has nothing to do with Florida being a 'well run state' - ever.

Between this, and her never looking directly at the camera (viewers) as someone else pointed out, I think she still has a bit of 'stage fright' being on TV. I've heard interviews with other TV personalities who have been on television for decades, and still get nervous when the light goes on telling them they are live on television. The light distracts them, their train of thought , their head movement, etc. Remember, Sunny spent most of her career in a court room, not in front of a TV camera.

Pretty sure if Florida had a Democratic governor she wouldn't be calling it a well run state.

She can cheerlead all she wants but the vaccine roll out in Florida isn't something to be proud of.  As Sunny and Whoopi both mentioned DeSantis is distributing vaccines in what he thinks is preferred areas while ignoring areas with many eligible people.

Meghan may think people are flocking to Florida because of DeSantis. I cancelled my week at my timeshare there this year, for the first time ever, specifically because of DeSantis and what I feel is his mishandling of the COVID epidemic. I am really sorry to do it, too! But Meghan, at least in my case, you are wrong.

Meghan and others should be at least a little concerned that among the Northerners who move permanently to Florida there is a percentage who are not going to be voting Republican.  Time will tell of course but despite the hype not every boomer or senior is veering right and down the road that may affect who gets into office in Florida.

Sara felt the need to clarify that when she said 'We lost Sunny', she meant 'by technical difficulties' . 

I guess she thought millions of viewers understood 'we lost Sunny'  as 'she dropped dead during the commercial break' , so she felt the need to explain ?

I'm honestly thinking that Meghan is only on The View for her own personal agenda - not to be a part of a team of co-hosts discussing events and news, but to boost her own popularity for whatever reason (as mentioned here - attention, press coverage, etc.)

I get that she is a Republican conservative, but sometimes, she is so outrageous in her comments that it is hard to believe that she actually believes what is coming out of her own mouth.  Is she just spewing this ridiculousness in order to advance her own personal agenda, which seems to be the "talk" of the media outlets later that day?  I'm beginning to believe that.  

She is becoming the definition of the phrase "legend in her own mind".

Be prepared for tweets from Meghan excoriating the Biden admin for putting kids in cages, even tho Jen P explained how it’s vastly different.

One of the new USPS board members is the former asst post master general, so it’s pretty ironic he was picked to be one of the people who will oversee and remove DeJoy. Karma.
