Stop the Bullying...I'm talking about you, Barbara!

America's favorite bully, Bill O'Reilly showed up on The View on Thursday hawking his new book, Pinheads and Patriots. Having Bill O'Reilly call you a pinhead is like having Paris Hilton call you shallow. It didn't take long for the festivities to begin. He made a generalization about Muslims. Joy and Whoope became incensed and they walked out.

The problem was they came back. I blame Barbara Walters for this. Someone needs to be allowed to tell Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck and Fox News once and for all "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more!"


But no! Babs immediately chastised her co-hosts, Bill apologized (weakly) and they  returned.


Why would they even dignify Bill O'Reilly's existence by inviting him on the show? The only possible explanation for this is ratings and book sales. Bill has been playing second fiddle to that nut job, Glenn Beck on Fox lately (clearly a violation of his contract). Joy has her own show on HLN to promote and little to talk about now that Tiger is divorced. CBS is launching it's own ladies' chat fest, The Talk next week. Nothing like a little controversy to boost every one's ratings (and egos) and put those women on The Talk in their place before they even hit the air

What Whoopi is doing on this show to start with is beyond me. Didn't she used to be hip? I guess once you start playing nuns it's all down hill from there. Look at Julie Andrews. She had to start cursing and showing her breasts to get work after The Sound of Music.

 I can't help but be embarrassed watching her kowtow on the days Barbara is in residence. Whoopi is supposed to be the moderator on the show but Barbara just can't help herself. Not only does she take over she is constantly berating her employees on air.

At least she is upfront about it now. We all know what happened when Rosie stepped out of line. Barbara got her good. She is now relegated to working for Oprah. I can hardly wait for that breakup. It will make D-Day look like a craft fair..........and we all know nothing gets between Rosie and her decoupage.
