RogerFromOhio October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 Raven is freaking out over Lupita Nyong and Whoopi pointed out her reactions. Raven said she is a true talent not like most actors which are all fluff. Raven said that about OTHER actors... all fluff..... I wonder if she owns a mirror 4 Link to comment
Bronzedog October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 I think they may all hate Paula. I don't think any of them have any room to criticize Kevin McCarthy's public speaking issues as they all seem to be stumbling a lot today. Plenty to criticize McCarthy over, that's just not one of them. 5 Link to comment
Delighted October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 Thanks, Roger, I must have missed it..haha.Actually, I have a hard time focusing on anything this group says... As far as getting riled up, I think they're all being encouraged to stir up controversy. No matter how stupid. 3 Link to comment
RogerFromOhio October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 We should give credit where credit is due..... We point out all the time how Michelle makes bad jokes at inappropriate times well during this segment on cancer.... not one bad joke was told..... I guess she does have a line 2 Link to comment

ari333 October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 That is a big "IF." I truly think it is a lie. Why wouldn't the Vatican/Pope's reps admit to it IF it did happen. They won't say it did and won't say it didn't. Guess they don't want to flat out call her a liar. And also wasn't that Peru rally for her, too - LOL. The local news said that they Vatican admitted to the Davis meeting. They could be full of it of course.... the news... I'm going with lie too though. Link to comment

I feel like Amy Robach has been on this show more than once before talking about this exact same thing, so I skipped it. Why was Lupita Nyong'o on this show?

I got that part even though Whoopi didn't and called the play a Broadway show. I was just thinking she was kind of a big deal to be on this show but now that you mention it, I wonder if this is a "get" in Raven's column since she saw the play and maybe contacted Lupita directly or at least gave the idea to the show. I just can't see The View getting her with a cold call nor Lupita's agent calling this show. Raven won more points with me today by refusing to even comment on Donald Trump and his ridiculous campaign. I think it's like all of mainstream media just cannot stop talking about this nonsense and today at least, Raven stopped. Edited October 1, 2015 by Cosmocrush 6 Link to comment

Former Nun October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 Well the reason you send out RSVP is to make sure there is enough food and drink for the number of guests that are coming.... and you are charged for each guest.... if you say you are coming and you dont...... they paid for you to be there...... I can see the reason for the bill. I can understand their reasoning, but that doesn't mean it's not tacky. I doubt if a hotel or caterer will reduce the cost of two dinners canceled at the last minute. Perhaps all offenses that will result in a "fine" should be outlined in a small tasteful note accompanying the invitation. Since "appropriate" wedding gifts were discussed, a proper amount should be strongly suggested. Would the entire wedding and reception expense divided by the number of people invited work as a baseline? $45,000 wedding divided by 200 guests? Each wedding gift should have a value of $250. At least. 5 Link to comment
maggiemae October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 I think billing someone for not attending is tacky as well....although one parent could have gone, I think. I wouldn't dream of calling a bride on her "big" day - what can she do. Gifts should be what a giver can afford, imo. I have RA and will RSVP but always say I may not be able to attend. In this case I would have added but would love to come to wedding and reception but can't commit to dinner so count me out. I think caterers always allow for no-shows. Or unexpected no-shows. In any event - crap happens and people can't always keep their commitments. But billing them is tacky and rude. Way for the bride and groom to ruin their wedding memories with the publicity now. Oh - and with their family. 5 Link to comment

I think caterers always allow for no-shows. Or unexpected no-shows. It has been over 30 years since I organized any events, but caterers usually offered a 10% "overage." The cost for no-shows was built in and the prices were always explained to those in charge of the money. 5 Link to comment

At least. Ha! I thought that wedding dinner bill was tacky as hell and was amazed [although I shouldn't be really] that anyone on this show would think it wasn't. I'm sure there is more to that story than reported by these morons. Even worse was the price of the wedding gift needs to equal the cost of your dinner as a topic. What the hell? Good grief, I'm glad my wedding was back in the day when an invited guest was actually a someone invited to help celebrate, not bankroll the party. I think the rules are simple, even Whoopi knew them: If can't afford to buy your guests dinner then just have cake. I mean if the budget is so tight that two dinners will break it, then maybe you need to rethink the guest list or the caterer. And if you are buying dinner in exchange for a gift grab, then I suggest you elope and use the wedding money to buy your own stuff. I wonder where all this entitlement comes from? I hope they invite Miss Manners on the show to discuss this. She'd rip the hosts a new one (politely, of course). One episode of this damn show and Miss Manners would probably keel over dead. When they aren't being rude to the guests or the audience they are being rude to each other. Sometimes all three in the same show. ETA: mongoose, you didn't mess it up.

3pwood October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 I can't hear the name "Kevin McCarthy" without thinking about the hero in the original 1956 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, who was also the brother of writer Mary McCarthy (The Group) & a cousin of Eugene McCarthy (for whom I happily cast my first vote in the 1968 Presidential primary election) -- according to Truman Capote, he was also one of Montgomery Clift's lovers. The current guy doesn't seem nearly as interesting. 5 Link to comment

I didn't remember then (1964) and I certainly don't remember now who did and didn't bring wedding gifts. If I noticed or cared I'd assume they didn't have the money or the time. Mine was a cake-and-punch deal at a nice hotel (all my mother and I could afford). One friend's husband said, "No booze? I wouldn't do this for anyone but _______ (fill in my name)." Now THAT was a gift! I got marrried 5-6 years after most of my friends, so my reception was "upscale." Hotel instead of church social hall. The marriage lasted 20 years. 4 Link to comment

The cost for no-shows was built in and the prices were always explained to those in charge of the money. That. Also, I hate the new craze of obscenely-priced weddings. What an extravaganza has to do with being united-by-love escapes me. Such warped priorities also leads to tacky people tackily asking to be reimbursed for an uneaten meal. Still hanging with the show. It has improved. Hell, even Whoopi. And today, even Michele. As inane and off-center as the discussions can be, at least sometimes there's a nugget to be found now. I actually think there's hope. Edited October 2, 2015 by SunFun 8 Link to comment
bannana October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 It's just not even debatable. The bill sent to the couple who no-showed is ridiculous. On whatever network has Charlie Rose and Norah and Gayle, they were dismissive, like a no-brainer, this was rude. But on the View, it's a topic. The better topic would have been, why did this couple, who are either related to or friends with the B/G, out them for their rudeness? 5 Link to comment

Haleth October 2, 2015 Share October 2, 2015 Well, the Vatican is disputing Kim Davis's version of the Pope story. Apparently she was invited (by someone? local bishop?) to be in line with many other people to greet and shake hands with the Pope. No secret meetings. No "atta girl" from Francis. He probably had no idea who she was. 10 Link to comment

Apparently she was invited (by someone? local bishop?) to be in line with many other people to greet and shake hands with the Pope. No secret meetings. No "atta girl" from Francis. He probably had no idea who she was. Exactly, Davis was amongst a group of many that visited the nunciature to see the Pope off from D.C. I came across this blog yesterday - and though I'm not sure that is exactly how the saga played out (much of it is conjecture) it provides some background that I think points to how Davis ended up amongst that group. I was happy to see the Vatican's statement this morning - it was beginning to seem like a shame that the Pope might have undone the liberal goodwill that he's gained from his trip to the U.S. Certainly, the Pope is not "liberal" in terms of church doctrine, but his pastoral papacy is a much welcomed change from doctrinaire papacies of the past. 11 Link to comment
