The View: Week of 2/22/2021

[njbchlover]

True meaning of Meghan's comments to Whoopi about children's happiness:

"I don't care if my daughter, Liberty, is happy......because I, Meghan McCain, Co-host of The View, don't actually know what it feels like to be happy because I am a spoiled, miserable person - I just want her to be a self-proclaimed 'bad ass bitch' like me!!!!" 

Poor, poor Liberty!!  I feel bad for that child having Meghan for a mother.

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.  

 

I don’t know,there is something missing from this story.  Not sure how I feel about a doctor taking home vaccines, administering them to family members?

And MM Northerners going to Florida has a lot to do with not paying state income taxes.  

[Bronzedog]

Now I'm confused.  Sara just ended the show with "take a little time to enjoy the view."  Am I not suppose to wear a mask?  Wash my hands?  What to do, what to do....

The only family member he gave a shot to was his wife.  She was given the last dose. With very little time left before it would have expired. She has a lung disease which would have made her eligible.  In fact everyone he gave a shot to was eligible whether it was age or health condition.  He informed people in charge he had open vaccines and he was going to seek out eligible people. Which he did.  The only one who seemed to have a problem with what he did was the local DA.

Dr. Gokal said there was one remaining vaccine left, that was going to expire in less than a half hour. His wife was more than eligible. He had been calling and going to people's houses to give them the vaccine. 

So with the last one, a sick wife, who was also eligible, he vaccinated her. And this happened within the first week of the vaccine rollout. 

He explained what he did when he was on the show yesterday. Unless you don't believe him.

He's being charged with theft because he took the vaccines from the hospital/clinic that he worked at and went to inoculate those that were eligible to receive it.

Yet those health workers who were on the road in the snow storms, and wouldn't be able to deliver the vaccines, gave vaccines to drivers so the vaccines wouldn't go to waste. Nothing has happened to them.

Or what @ifionlyknew said more succinctly.

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 ?

Baffling.

I agree with this.  At least she didn't say, "Our thoughts and prayers go to Sunny's family.  We lost Sunny during the break."

Psaki: Meghan, what we all have is the responsibility to communicate what this is and what this is not.

I've noticed it and have thought...stuttering? ....but not quite. Stammer is a good word for it.

And yes she says "um" all the time.

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.

Being in the studio at the table with the others is probably easier for her--easier for give and take.  At home when she's "alone" on camera, perhaps she feels much more pressure.  I appreciate your opinion.

[Cementhead]

I was washing & drying my hair while the show was on so granted I was only half-ass paying attention at best.  (Sometimes that's really the only way I can get through watching this mess; by only just barely paying attention.) Anyways, I thought I heard Whoopi refer to Jen Psaki as 'Jen Sackett' at first, and then the rest of times she added a french twist and started pronouncing it as Psaqué.  Ok, sure.🤷‍♀️?  Again, it could have just been me mishearing. 

And since Megamouth completely ignored me the first time I told her that blazers were not her friend,  I am telling her again that blazers are not her friend. 

[Back Atcha]

WHOA, SUNNY!   This is my take...and I hope I'm wrong.  Sunny says--almost sarcastically, "Haha, you know, Sara talks like someone who has gone to marital therapy, and-and-and, goes to therapy.  HaHaHa.  She knows all the right things to say. HaHaHa-uh-HaHa."  She goes on to say she (Sunny) doesn't know all the right things to say.  I took that as a mean little jab at Sara, disguised within the fake laughter.

 

[tinkerbell]

Meghan says that the CDC says schools can be opened safely without vaccinating teachers, blames democrats for the schools not being opened.   Meghan personalizes everything.  I am certain that if she had a teacher in her family,  her view would be the opposite.

As a young wife, my mother had a cute/curvy figure--big on top.  My father wanted her to wear "tailored suits," and she tried to explain that hers wasn't the best body type for those fitted suits (one of which was plaid). He was relentless--until he dumped us. Maybe BEN is the artiber of the clothing/hairstyles "Marie Antoinette" presents to us.

AGAIN with the half-assed information. The CDC says for schools that are properly ventilated-that allow for clean air (paraphrasing here) can reopen without teachers having to be vaccinated. The reason why so many are closed are due, in large part because of lack of ventilation.

So she can just STFU and kiss my ass.

Nope. I think it was Oregon? Don’t quote me as I can’t remember. While some refused the vaccine, enough agreed so none of the vaccines had to be thrown away.

Why does Meghan look like Dolly Parton today? 

[pinguina]

Re: today's show, I thought that Biden's press secretary, Jen Psaki, was pretty good.  I liked how she said that they are providing medical help as well as education for the children who do not have family with them at this time.  Apparently these children were sent across the border without any parents which is different than what the previous administration did (physically taking them form their parents). And MM saying "potato, potahto" - shut up.

Side note: Is MM going to winter formal? Or just trying out hairstyles for prom?

Meganutz , Dolly Parton called and wants her 1967 look back. She said she wears it better than you.

Dolly is much better than her, on many levels. While Dolly humbly rejected a request from her home state of Tennessee to build a statue in her honor, it's a wonder that Meganutz hasn't demanded that Arizona do the same thing for her.

  Meghan being Meghan, she looks but doesn't see, hears but doesn't listen and talks loud but says nothing.

The split-screen of Jen Psaki and Meghan McCain, was hilarious.   Just the visual -  Jen P with a perfectly normal and pretty hairstyle, nice makeup, and a sweater.  Then Meghan, with BIG HAIR,  false eyelashes, and ringlets bouncing when she talked, along with a red velvet jacket.  Basically, no matter what was said, one person looks like a rational human being, the other looks like she's about to go on stage in some sort of community theater production.  she totally looked like she was in some sot of costume.

Yes, not too long ago Joy brought up the kids in cages, and Meghan was like "oh god" because Joy got passionate. So dismissive of a heartbreaking issue.

There it is. Meg got her talking points re kids in cages directly from Fox where Stephen Miller was saying word for word what Meg said today.

I thought I’d read that these were unaccompanied kids..kids who didn’t come with their families but alone.  Is that correct or is M yet again wrong in her statements?  If I’m correct, totally different!  And quite honestly it’s really hard to take anything she says seriously with that hair...it’s not even good pageant hair... more like the hair you see on Toddlers and Tiaras!  What look is she going for here?  And the flat cut ends of the two front strings...what’s that?  Just awful all around.  At least no glitter in the part and the eyes aren’t too bad.  Finally, do you think Ben never lets her talk at home and that’s why she has to put every thought in her head into her comments in the show?

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.

Sorry, I just can’t stop laughing over anyone calling Florida a “well-run” state in almost any capacity. Our state government is a shit show. The vaccine rollout is a joke and DeSantis is a white nationalist sack of shit. 
We have no state taxes, amazing weather and lots of opportunity. That’s what has kept northerners moving down in here droves for decades. (Including me in 1999.) 

I can’t watch this show as long as the Pisspant of Arizona is on there with her bullshit.

Yes, Psaki was talking about unaccompanied minors and how to take care of them until they can vet more permanent safe accomodations.

I was surprised that MeAgain didn't ream Psaki out to her face about asking journalists what topics they have questions about prior to press meetings.

It has to drive Joy crazy since she was an English teacher.  If I was around someone who was always mispronouncing words I would have to correct them.  I am beginning to understand why Meghan feels so entitled and smug. It's because she gets away with everything.  Is there anyone who has told her you fucked up and you need to make it right?

Yes, she did say that.  A few days ago she said "hold their thumb to the ground" mixing two or three common idioms, like "hold them to account" or "under their thumb".  She misuses or mispronounces words at least once an episode.
