It's rather ironic when Meghan gets involved in the "likable/unlikable" discussion considering that she is one of the most unlikable panel members there ever was.

And she even said that something along the lines of Hillary would have been more likable if she had been aggressive and told Trump to back away from her during the debates, because she (MM) is aggressive all the time.   She pretty much proved Whoopie's/Joy's point.  LOL

Self awareness is not Meghan's strong suit.

I’m in love with Kamala. I don’t know much about her except what I’ve seen in hearings and today. It may be enough for me. ❤️  She’s got my vote.

I really like her too- I could vote for her!!

[Marigny]

Me watching RBM sit there like a deer in headlights when Senator Harris gave an answer on AOC that didn't involve dragging her nor her ideas.

 

RBM just knew she was going to get something that would allow her to go on and on about the left for weeks.

And what an answer KH gave!  Production should replay the audio everytime MM brings up 'the socialist wing of the Democratic party'!

[maggiemae]

It occurs to me that MM perhaps is realizing there is not one powerful woman in the GOP Congress. Plus, I LOL because she retweets other's ideas and rarely posts her own opinions, if ever. You know, being a political pundit or political commentator.

And she’s been in politics her whole life...even in the womb. Ugh!

Suppose that Meghan might be considered fun, interesting and happy in her life?   If she is, it seems she'd be able to believe Joy's description of the real Hillary Clinton.

Billy Crystal hosted 8 times. And Bob Hope, 18.

...and I'd take either one of them several more times.  I meant FOUR is my limit for Ms. Goldberg.

Joy was probably biting her lip hard to not say to Meghan… "that is why you are so unlikable!"...LOL

[deirdra]

It was hard to follow what Whoopi's was getting at but it sounded like she was saying there have been multiple (>2) Oscar hosts in the same year/event.  There have been pairs, like Steve Martin & Alec Baldwin, but not 3 or more cohosts that I recall.  It would spread the blame, but at this late date would be hard to coordinate.  How about no host, just the presenters and the announcer guy.

Edited January 9, 2019 by deirdra

[bannana]

I kind of remember one year when they had four hosts, and I believe one of them showed up late due to traffic.  Maybe Clint Eastwood.  Was it the same year as David Niven and the Streaker?

But it appears Whoopi was right about multiple hosts being used to host the Oscars.  Including 33 hosts one year.  This is the stuff she knows, as she hosted four times.

I would think most be in the public eye, politicians, celebs, have a public persona and a private persona.  Hell I think all people are like that.  I don't act radically different in public than I do in private but there are differences.  

When Meghan said she liked Michelle Bachmann (there is a horror from the past) more when she acted aggressively Joy pointed out her poll numbers went down.  I don't for one second believe Meghan would have liked Hillary if she had been more "aggressive".

Meghan was polite and friendly to Senator Harris  yesterday.  Let's see how quickly she changes her tune if Harris announces her candidacy.

Did anyone else find their jaw on the floor when on Monday's show, Meghan did not mention her father ONCE????

Who needs John when you have Alexandria Ocasio Cortez?

I can't fathom why Meghan has a career. I've seen her on the Sunday shows - she has never said anything remotely insightful. I love when she says ”over my entire career,” like she has the credentials of Barbara Walters or something.

Her entire career of what?  Living off her family's name?  Just once I would like for her to acknowledge she would not be where she is without her last name.  The only reason anyone has ever asked her opinion on anything political is because she is the daughter of a politician.

Perhaps we should blame her husband for that. ;)

Whoop's ratty gray scarf is back. 

Here we go again with the AOC bashing. 

And the Obama whataboutism. 

Shut up, Meghan.

Ah, new year, new update to the MM drinking game. Chug everytime she mentions AOC. 

Every day she just comes out of the shoot unpleasant and pissy about everything. 

[Angelsmom1009]

I haven’t watched in a while now(just coming here to see you all’s amazing comments 😁), so I’m relying on you all to let me know how Megan “megsplains” Trump’s self serving statement last night. I’m guessing a whole lot of “but Obama/immigration crisis/if Dems wanna win/his base” crap. 

[rickhurst3186]

Hey, Meghan McCain!!!! Just to be clear so you aren't confused, I AM NOT heckling you,  I am telling you to STFU!  OMG, seriously ABC, why are you giving this entitled, ignorant little bitch of a human being a platform? 

[Apprentice79]

Megan is obsessed with Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and her shot at Steve Schmidt was lame. 

The usual Obama, Obama, Obama! was in full force defending the indefensible separation of children from their parents at the border.

Her rant was filled with inaccuracies, falsehoods and for the last time Megan, the Democrats do not need your advice on how to win 2020.

And since it was the same point Whoopi made, I'm surprised Whoop didn't jump on that. 

[GoldenGirl90]

Meghan, repeating over and over again that "this was started under Obama, this was started under Obama, this was started under Obama!" doesn't make it so. Joy and Sunny both just told you he didn't separate women and children. Listen to the adults in the room, they kind of know what they're talking about.

And Whoopi is right - AOC is NOT the voice of the Democrats. While she is an increasingly popular voice and breath of fresh air, the party does not fall under one umbrella and she doesn't represent the thoughts of every Democrat. And even if she did, she's never advocated for open borders. No Democrat has advocated for open borders. Stop spreading lies and get your facts straight.

I'm growing concerned for Meghan, as AOC is living rent-free in her head. Her obsession is growing more and more with each passing day...

And certainly not HER advice.

Steve Schmidt has more knowledge about history, Government, the Republican Party AND the McCain campaign than Meghan could ever hope for- her shot at him was pathetic..

Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE! Someone needs to play that clip of hers when she was on Real Time, and telling Begala and Bill to stop saying that the recessions "was started under Bush" because, well, he was no longer president, Obama was. But then she'd probably get all splotchy if she sees how she was SCHOOLED by Begala, who exposed her UTTER IGNORANCE.

She does this all the time and it makes me want to pull my hair out. Her self-importance is hilarious! Not a single Democrat cares about what Meghan thinks is the winning strategy for 2020. They're politicians, they know what they're doing, they have people around them who know what they're doing - you don't, Meghan. Don't worry about the Democrats, they'll be fine without your unsolicited advice.

And Bill has to feign protecting her from big mean Begala, because she looked like she was going to cry when he turned her potshot at him right back around on her!!  I loved it

Dear Meghan, An army does not contact their enemies' generals to ask how to win the war.   Democrats know better than to take your laughable advice.  (I'm not in the game, so I can school her.)

[rickhurst3186]

It seems to me, and please correct me if I am wrong,  but isn't Meghan a family member of a failed presidential candidate?

First of all why would any Democrat running for office listen to Meghan?  She plays for the other team.  She has a pretty big fucking ego if she thinks any politician Democrat or Republican would ever seek out her advice.

I’m not aware of any Republican campaigns out to recruit her either

[Bronzedog]

The dour Mrs. Domenech generally screeches over any attempt to go to an ad when she's wound up, but, today she was desperately trying to cut the Paul Manafort segment.

 I have no clue what Whoopie was trying to read.

Can you imagine Meghan's eye-rolls and apoplexy if someone mentions Jedidiah's "entire career" and compaares it favorably with Ms. McCain's?  Don't they have similar track records, yet Meghan considers herself one of the nation's top pundints, political commentators/strategists, campaign managers, etc.?

I believe Meghan is delusional enough to think she more of a political pundint than Nicolle Wallace.

And while I'm thinking about it so does Meghan identify herself as pundint or strategist now?  First she is analyzing politicians and now she is wanting to strategize for them.

[CheezyXpressed]

Terry Crews is a treasure. I love listening to him talk and I'm glad that the ladies just let him speak.

[Haleth]

Terry Crews had a lot of important things to say with too little time. His comments about changing mindsets and silence = consent can be applied to the current political climate too. 

[rickhurst3186]

Whoopi is losing her mind during this train wreck cooking segment. 

[Bronzedog]

I hate cooking shows, I hate cooking segments....  they ended the Terry Crews interview for this.

[Cementhead]

Whoopi's dressed like she's angling for the now empty Johnny Depp role in Pirates of the Caribbean. 

[CheezyXpressed]

Abby isn't that much older than me, but she makes me feel old especially when she asked what a mortar and pestle is. I saw that and thought, "Wow I feel old, how do people not know what that is." Then I looked up her age and found that she was older than me lol. That made me laugh.

Speaking of which, I thought Abby was great in the first conversation today. Abby, Joy and Sunny have a comfortable vibe with one another where they can state their views and still joke with one another. Whoopi and Meghan......they can get better at it.

Omg. This is the PERFECT description of Meghan's "political career" and "expertise". It also explains why she's so thrown when people don't conform to stereotypes, particularly political stereotypes (What? You mean people have layers? And their political party may have no bearing on their home decor? Crazy!).

That made me roll my eyes so hard, but then I decided to cut her some slack because of pregnancy brain.

[TheGreenKnight]

The cooking segment was worth it just for Joy joke-warning Sunny away from Whoopi. I can't get the image of Whoopi attacking Sunny with the frying pan out of my head now.

[tribeca]

Why did Megan want to go to break so badly?

Trying to catch up on laundry while watching what exactly was Megan’s dig at Steve Schmidt?

i love Terry Crews   He was so wonderful on everybody hates Chris   

[blondiec0332]

I heard Meghan's disdain for Steve Schmidt.  So she dislikes him why exactly? Because he admitted Palin was a horrific choice for VP?  Only in politics do you get chastised for telling the truth.

[blondiec0332]

Oh and that French writer, FUCK YOU.  Any man who thinks only 25 year old women are worth desiring can go fuck himself because  I'm pretty sure no woman will want to after his remarks.

I was wondering that too. I know Nicole Wallace and Steve or (was it John Heilmann? )both talked about not being invited to the funeral. They told the truth. How reckless 🙄.I would guess it was a loyalty thing, in some twisted way. Remember MM said the other day her father could kill someone and she still defend him. Great moral compass there.
