Team Edwards, both eminently coiffed candidate John and his designated political hitter bride Elizabeth, on Wednesday, Novemeber 21st cancelled their scheduled appearance on The View, doing so, according to the UnDynamic Duo, to “honor the members of the Writers Guild of America”, who are currently on strike.
Not to be outpandered, Michelle Obama, wife of the incredibly audacious Barack, later that same day pulled out of her December 5th guest co-hosting duties.
Obviously, sucking up is more important than being sucked up to in Democratic presidential politics.
This is related to nearly every Donkey candidate promising to not participate in a scheduled December 10th CBS debate (moderated by the ratings Juggernaut Katie Couric) should their news writers decide to join their union brethren and sistren (one must be, in this age of PC, all-inclusive) and abandon that foundering network vessel to the waves unscribed.
(They are apparently close to striking, having just recently noticed that they have been working bereft of a contract since April of 2005.)
Notice I said nearly every candidate; who is ready for the Dennis Kucinich-Mike Gravel Nielsen winner should the strike transpire? The guy who saw a UFO versus the guy who got off it.
Back to the original point on The View; I scoured the news wires for their Republican presidential counterparts deciding whether or not to withdraw from their co-hosting or guest appearances on the benighted morning program, but I was utterly unsuccessful. I simply can not imagine why that would be.
Regardless, I earnestly look forward to seeing Judith Giuliani, Ann Romney or any of the other Elephant candidates's spouses taking to the set opposite whatever amalgamation of Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck is thrown together for them.
Care to guess which of the four would most likely be the one given the day off? (Here is the Big Hint: Mrs. Hasselbeck, the token conservative, is the only one of the four whose ideological outlook is mentioned AT ALL in her biography, and it appears at the inception of Sentence #2. Any more than one UnLiberal on board at any time would, methinks, be for for them unthinkable.)

OMG!!! Say it isn't so!!!!
November 24, 2007 - 16:36 ET by motherbeltOMG!!! Say it isn't so!!!! No 10th debate?!?!?!?
Oh, the howwor, the howwor!!
Refusing to "cross the picket line" (as if politicians have anything at all to do with Hollywood writers) is just one more variation of Democrat pandering...they are so afraid to "offend" anyone that they can be pushed into doing anything by any constituent "group."
Miss Hasselbeck, the token Conservative, is the only one of the four whose ideological outlook is mentioned AT ALL in her biography, and it appears at the inception of Sentence #2.
Of course...the others are just "normal people"...no need for labels. We are a country of "normal people" and "conservatives" (AKA right-wing extremists).
PS Brethren and Sistren!!! I haven't heard that since the 80's! Wasn't it Flip Wilson who used to do that number? (Separate the green from thy jeans!.....) I know, I'm dating myself! LMAO!!

Yeah, that was my reaction, MB. Who says this is a bad thing?
As far as I am concerned
November 24, 2007 - 16:39 ET by bigtimerAs far as I am concerned all of this equals to less tripe we have to listen to from the leftists who were to be on these shows or in the upcoming debate the 10th...
Of course their pretense of such overwhelming concern for crossing the picket lines is laughable to me...seeming to be PC is what matters to them doncha' know....phonies all of them.
On the other hand it most likely saves Hillary from embarrassing herself again, which she is so self-important she can't even see that simple little fact....
I just love all of this blather....
As far as anybody from the right being on the View, or being invited for that matter....I just wished they wouldn't even go there....but that's just me.
I agree, bt. Every time I
November 24, 2007 - 17:02 ET by motherbeltI agree, bt. Every time I read someone here saying they wish Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin was one of the hosts, it makes me cringe. Either one could take on all three without breaking a sweat. But they're also too smart to waste their time with that bunch of losers.
"The View" isTV for women who find Oprah too cerebral.
Michelle Malkin, Mary Katherine Ham and La Shawn Barber did a parody of "The View" that was fantastic. I wish I could find it again.

November 24, 2007 - 17:35 ET by dscottto “honor the members of the Writers Guild of America”, who are currently on strike Honor, you must be kidding me, what honor? How about some honesty instead? The Dems are terrified that the third rail of politics, immigration will be raised. Hillary has shown that without scripted questions how will they get their message out?
Hanlon's Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. dscott's corollary: The line between malice and stupidity is called depraved indifference.

November 24, 2007 - 17:55 ET by ArchConservativeFirst they were afraid of showing up on FoxNews. Now they are afraid of showing up on "The Spew". I wonder how they will deal with international terrorism? Run away? Tell them they won't respond until the writer's strike is over so they can "dialogue" with them? Come on! When will our side put this into a commercial. Honestly, our guys are as gutless as I feared they would be.
