The blonde chick on 'The View' is stupid
...and inarticulate and ill-informed.
She speaks for a lot of Americans.

She speaks for a lot of Americans.
About Me
- Name: Fang Bastardson
- Location: Nowheresville, Kansas
Born in the wild to Canadian Timberwolves, Fang was wrestled from his mother's teat at an early age and placed in the custody of a government sponsored think tank in New York City. He escaped at age seven by gnawing off a doo-claw and has been riding a wave of self-righteous indignation to Nowheresville, baby, ever since. He is currently enjoying being a PhD (by marriage), but on the advice of his attorney has refused all comment except to assert an apparently deeply-held conviction that frozen strawberries should be thawed, not microwaved.

Wow. I couldn't even finish watching the video - I just wanted to smack her. She's widely perceived as a clueless idiot and I think they keep her on the show for conflict purposes.

She sure is purdy, tho.

No, she's more stupid than purty. I believe it's officially known as The Suzanne Somers Exception.

Dim bulb indeed.

She's some rich GOP dude's trophy wife. Even if she had an IQ, she wouldn't be allowed to show it.

She's a dumb one alright, and an evangelical creep to boot.
Still, Jesse Jackson, man of the cloth and healer, shouldn't be talking about Hymietown and using the N-word whenever he thinks outside microphone range.
Or, rather, he should do exactly as he pleases, but we should be allowed to drop the pretense that he's not an opportunistic clown.
If Fox News wants to air him for their reasons; that's fine. Same thing if Pacifica radio wants to give him a show. But I for one don't like keeping "mainstream moral authorities" around on "mainstream platforms" after their hateful beliefs become common knowledge.
There are more hypocrites and hustlers on the right than on the left, and their sins (these days undoubtedly; perhaps always) are worse, in my opinion.
But I don't think the left should waste credibility rushing to Jackson's defense on this one.
Back to the blonde: Useless, stupid, bigoted, and a disgrace.

First, a correction: "thinks" should be "thinks he is".
Second, another thought: Would it be that hard for Whoopi Goldberg to say "Jesse really should set a better example." ?
Yes, it's a vernacular reality that the N-word can be used today by African-Americans, while its use is forbidden to whites. Personally, I abide by that rule, never really feeling the need or desire to use that truly "bad" word.
But the rule is a stupid, divisive, self-mocking, contorted compromise; and I don't really find it constructive for television personalities to tell me "yes, that's the way it is, and we're fine with that."
Jackson's (public) position, that the word is an abomination, makes a lot more sense to me, which is why I see absolutely no reason for anyone to defend his own hypocritical use of the term.
