Because what happened next looked like some genuine technical confusion, but it also could be from Whoopi pulling off her stealth F-bomb that seemed to quiet McCain down.

Oh please. That wasn't the case at all. Loved Whoopi's "for Frog's sake", but it was clear to me that the idiots in charge were both talking in Whoopi's ear piece, and in Twatty's ear piece. THAT'S what made her shut up. No, wait, it was Whoopi saying "for Frog's sake" that stopped her in mid-diatribe, because I don't think she expected Whoopi to cut her off. It didn't calm her ass down. It just took her aback.

And my ire is at the person who wrote that article, not you, @bannana.

[bannana]

This article is pretty funny re the awkward exchange.

Quote

 

As she continued her breathless tirade about how this is just “virtue signaling across the board,” Goldberg—as she has done countless times before—chimed in and cut off her outspoken colleague.

“They do know that—oh, for frogs’ legs,” Goldberg muttered over a ranting McCain, prompting a confused McCain to react: “I’m sorry? I’m sorry?”

After a few more seconds of awkward silence, Goldberg told McCain to “go ahead,” leading the conservative host to once again ask what was going on.

“Are you done?” Goldberg finally asked.

“Yes, yes. Sorry,” a befuddled McCain replied.

For those who haven't seen the ep, what Sunny did was say that they should be focussing on DeSantis, because there was a 60 minutes piece that showed he was providing favouritism to donor counties. And in following that line of thinking she said no one is talking about DeSantis, and that the repubs should be spending energy on that vs. on Swalwell, which is a direct reference to what MeAgain had just said.

I don't really get why MeAgain decided to call out Sara on laughing at the Toobin thing. Imagine if all the hosts called out MeAgain's contradictory and idiotic statements from the past?

And what she again said about Rep. Swalwell is a FUCKING LIE. Yet no pushback from Sunny about it being a lie.

ETA: and her numbers of how many Republicans won't get the vaccine just keep rising. Yeah, right. I know that a lot of those in Congress jumped the line and got their vaccines. But they don't count, right?

I wish the show had mentioned the hypocrisy, but since the didn't, I can't.

And so much for discussing the Floyd murder case as Whoopi said they would. Oh, wait. She just said they were going to deeply investigate it or something like that.

So when MeAgain said she reached out to the White House, I thought she meant re getting more male repubs vaccinated -- rather than getting herself vaccinated. But even that is hilarious. First, why would the WH even take her call when she attacks Biden et al every day? Second, what can the WH do to convince stupid people to take the vaccine.

The SG actually did that disarming thing with MeAgain by saying she asked an important question (about the male repubs)  🤣 and his answer was that their strategy is to get local leaders to encourage communities to get vaccinated.

Today MeAgain went after both Biden and Shumer, essentially calling them both liars, yet these are her longtime dear family friends.

And how does she identify herself?  Meghan McCain View cohost or John McCain's daughter? She is way less important than she thinks she is.

I was disappointed in Dr. Murthy failing to answer questions today. Whoopi asked about not taking other medications before getting the vaccine something about not needing to. The reason is because at least 2 studies have found that if you take drugs like Tylenol or Advil that lower your fever, the immune response is not as strong as it would have been if you hadn't taken it. He also talked around Sunny's question of whether this vaccine should be on the list of required vaccinations for school instead of answering it directly.

I was very unimpressed with him. Not a good guest at all. Some people are just awkward when being interviewed on television - especially when it's not part of their job, and they're not used to it. For most celebs and politicians - sure, they can handle interviews. For someone like him, not at all. They come off as uncomfortable in front of the camera.

Add to this the fact that because of his job, he's very guarded in what he says - he has to be as vague as possible. Which is why when Sarah asked him her idiotic question, he was probably thrilled - he just had to be put a positive spin on the vaccine, which is his job. As for Sunny and Whoopie's questions - he will dance around those.

I will say that the one thing that gave me (and the others on the panel) a good laugh was Joy's remark about these men swinging a hula hoop on "Mr. Happy" which I'm sure meant their dicks.🤣🤣

My guess is that Meghan wanted to get vaccinated ASAP to get drunk in the casino and she floated a plan to get vaccinated live on the show or in some other public arena as a celebrity Republican example. I’m also guessing the response was “Thanks for the suggestion, but we will have to get back to you on that.”

The WH may have responded like that, but, you know they would have wanted to say, "No!  You suck."

This. I'm so tired of this talking point. Donald Trump spent months downplaying the virus, and wearing masks, and did not tell people to get vaccinated (while he got vaccinated himself as soon as he could, in private). Does she not place any blame on him? How is it now up to the Biden administration to convince Republicans to get the vaccine?

They all laughed when it came to Toobin, Sarah just had an attack of the giggles.  It is interesting that she picked on Sara  to lash out and not the others who also laughed that day.  She also held on to this perceived slight for months and used it today to shame Sara for doing absolutely nothing wrong.   Megan is green with jealousy and hates Sara.  She picks on her because she sees her as weak and bullies like her go after the weakest in a group.  I dare her to go after Sunny  Whoopie, Ana or Joy she won't cause she scared.  She is a miserable bitch and I hope Sara doesn't let a nasty child like MeAgain get her down.  

[TheGreenKnight]

She goes after Sara because Sara won't respond in kind, which makes McCain feel powerful. She's very pathetic. I don't think she'll be able to scare Sara off since Sara, like everybody who isn't living under a rock, knows by now that McCain is repulsive and full of hatred towards everyone and everything. As long as the rest are together against her, there is really nothing McCain could ever do to Sara. Besides, the show being remote neuters much of McCain's toxicity because they never have to be in the same room with her.

I live in a red state. There are people who don’t know who Meghan is. There are even people who don’t know MyFather. Some people are not political, and many conservatives who are very much familiar with the family don’t even care for her. She obviously has a famous father and some fame as a byproduct, but she thinks she’s American royalty or something. 

I’m so sick of Meghan being rude to Sara, who’s as sweet and harmless as can be. I also hope Sara doesn’t let it get to her. 

[catlover79]

Sunny really should trademark her famous phrase that begins "the disgraced, twice-impeached, one-term..." She said it again today and I just laughed with glee. 😊🤣😂

[tinkerbell]

Whoopi: Meghan, what's your take on the Matt Gates scandal? 

Meghan:  What about Cuomo? what about Swalwell?  what about Toobin?  WHat about Sarah laughing?

After the break....

Whoopi: Meghan, what are our thoughts on the voting suppression and the MLB boycott of the AllStar game?

Meghan: what about the OTHER baseball games? What about Biden getting 4 Pinnocchios?  What about Chuck Schumer?  What about  New York? What about the Olympics?   Virtue Signaling!

Whoopi: FROG LEGS!

You forgot "cancel culture" and "both ways". Other than that - perfect!! 😊

[DB in CMH]

Is Hulu just not updating the episodes at all now? I used to be able to count on them being up by 6:00 p.m.

Sara is very different this time. Rumors were that Meghan is what drove her off the show the first time (MM saw Sara as out of her element on the show), but I don't think that'll be happening again. She has been really nasty to Sara on several occasions now.

Exactly, and there’s plenty of material. 

[Angeleyes]

In Meghan’s diatribe she mentioned that Gaetz “always had a weird reputation” and that she essentially wasn’t surprised by these accusations. So why has she not turned on him before now if she allegedly already knew something was up with him? I know she has directly quoted him on the show in the past and referenced him as a Republican to emulate. 

[Kromm]

Sunny was on absolute fire today. Righteous fury is a good look on her.

If it wasn't such fresh news, she should have mentioned how DeSantis and his predecessors got paid off by chemical companies to allow a huge open pool of toxic waste, and how they're now pumping it into the Ocean, likely eventually killing all sealife in the Gulf of Mexico, and certainly eliminating most tourism (including those precious Spring Breakers) PERMANENTLY on the West Coast of Florida, since they won't want to glow in the dark as a side effect of partying on those beaches.

I think that was just Meghan's way of pretending she is "in the know."  She hears Gates is being accused of sexually inappropriate behavior, and she has to say "oh, yeah, everyone in DC knows he's a pervert."

So she knew he was a pervert and kept it to herself. I would believe that.  She supports  her team no matter what.

Yes when Sunny is furious it looks righteous. When Meghan is furious (when is she not?) she looks unhinged.

Either she knew he was a pervert and didn't care or she didn't know and is just trying to distance herself from him.

This was when Gaetz was a guest on the View last year

 

 

[LetsStartTalking]

When Gaetz was the guest, Meganutz had plenty of opportunity to let him know 'everyone in the capitol knows you're a pervert and sex offender' but she didn't.

[Haleth]

When was that interview?  Interesting stuff. I was surprised Meg wasn’t fawning over him; he seems her type. Maybe she did already know what a creep he is. It seems a lot of people did. (I must have skipped that day because i found him repulsive.)

It was in February 2020.  I remember him being on but I had forgotten how much he monopolized the conversation. Joy even asked him if he was doing a stump speech.

I remember wondering how anyone could ever vote for him.  He came across as very controlling and more than a little creepy - and I had no idea then about any of the rumours that had apparently been going on about him.  He was just another man who thinks all women want to do is listen to him talk and talk and talk.

Thank heavens Meganutz ditched her make-up kit from Crayola this week, and threw the janky hair extensions from Dollar General into the trash. She looks 'attractive' for the second day this week.

On Friday, it was announced that the male lead Rege-Jean Page who was the break out was not returning for the second season as he was only signed to a one season contract and his character doesn't appear much in the rest of the books.   Needless to say, a lot of people are upset to the point they will swear off the rest of the series because "they tuned in for him."  

[TheGreenKnight]

So nice to see Joy, Sunny, and Sara all getting to have a good time with one another without it being spoiled. I thought Whoopi was going to have another frog's legs moment when McCan't would never shut up in that first segment. She always talks too much, but today was even worse than usual. Perhaps somebody told her to shut her trap during commercials because she didn't say anything at all in the next segment, thank God.

I know that and you know that.  My friends also know that.  They're still saying "I'm out." (shrugs.) I don't see this as a David Caruso leaves NYPD Blue situation, as after seeing Page host SNL, the guy has charisma and skills so I'm sure the series will survive without him and he'll move on to other things.  

[Axie]

I've never seen Bridgerton, so, the entire segment was meaningless to me.
