This is absolutely ridiculous. John McCain, war-hero, Senator, and now Republican Presidential candidate was on the television show The View the other day. You know The View, don't you? It's the show where Barbara Walters and her gal pals discuss the important issues for women. It's also the show in which resident idiot in charge Rosie O'Donnell claimed that George Bush planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks.
Well, Rosie O'Donnell is gone and Whoopi Goldberg has now taken over as the celebrity idiot. Wasn't this woman once a comedian? Is it just my imagination or has she not done anything even remotely humorous since the mid 80's? Anyway.
John McCain was asked the question as to what kind of judges he would appoint to the Supreme Court. "Strict constructionist judges" is how he replied. Like deer in the headlights, they just stared at him. Then he explained that he would nominate judges who interpreted the Constitution in the way the founders intended it to.
To this, Whoopi Goldberg goes off and asks, "Does that mean I have to worry about being a slave again? Because the founders believed in slavery. " My head hung in shame. How is this woman a celebrity? How is this woman on a television show? I hung my head in shame. But it got worse.
Then, to make it worse, the audience applauded as though they too were afraid that "strict constructionist" judges would put African Americans back in the fields. My head hung lower in shame.
Then Barbara Walters and the other white women comforted Whoopi and said that they would protect her. Again the audience applauded. This is just pathetic. But to make it even worse, John McCain answered all this by saying, "Good question." What have we come to?
I think this is a good reason why Sarah Palin should probably not appear on the Oprah Winfrey show.
