I swore off the view after this ep. I feel Bill was treated badly and the women were all bitches minus Joy. I am sure Whoopi was pissed because she was never on Bill's show and I could see the way she looked she was upset at something. Did he hug any of them when he came on the platform??? I didn't see it.The way Elizabeth talked about Obama tells me she can dish it out but can't take it. No more cunt tv for me. Unless they apologize to Bill.

I don't think they need to apologize to Bill. He can take it and he does DISH it out. I don't know if I wouldn't be offended if the jist of the joke was trading me off with another woman so that I could be raped and beaten instead of her. All that other anti-women stuff seemed off point and had nothing to do with that particular joke. The only one who was being rude in my opinion was Elisabeth. She asked her questions, he answered them and then she proceeded to keep jumping in and derailing the interview. I'm assuming the reason Bill didn't hug anybody was because he didn't want to hug everybody except Elisabeth and have that be an issue as well. So he hugged no one.

I would also think that a major reason Whoopi hasn't been on his show is that he films in California. Whoopi lives on the East coast and is horrified of flying. So I'm not sure how feasible that may really be for her. But, hey, she may just have never been asked. I don't know.
