Aside from the night of Bill "The Negotiator" Shatner's but hurricane weekend, the candidate may note have been available when the show wanted. Since you know the Obama kids bedtime's might take precedence as well. > I take it from above that the blond girl was Hasselbeck - was that > skit anti-McCain, or anti-her? It seemed to be making her out to be an > idiot. It's been a View tradition. The youngest panelist (when blonde) has been a moron. Lisa Ling was the exception. Hasselback got her gig by being a token conservative and by taking her clothes off (and still not winning) one season of Survivor. She campaigned with Palin last week and was noted to have been wearing a "The Greatest AmeriCAIN Hero" shirt on "The View." She's the Ann Coulter of what was until the Rosie O'Donnell era an inconsequential series politically. I've read "Celebrity Rehab" and Ro was treated poorly by both Baba Waw a and Elizabeth in a period that really did put the show on the map. Ms. O'Donnell did what she was hired to do in the Meredith Viera show moderator position -- managing the conversations, though that pitted her against Baba. > And why was Jennifer Anniston in that skit - is she one of > Afflack's many past lovers, or is she just on that show a lot?

(Fat white kids sure - The Seth Roganesque Bobby Moynihan and the Ricky Lake-ish Casey Wilson both of UCB haven't added much but chipmunky giggling.)
