AP reports Michelle Obama will serve as a guest host of ABC's The View on June 18, a few weeks after Cindy McCain took a turn. E! Online gabbed: "No celebrity guests have been booked yet, but we're sure Barack Obama's Princeton and Harvard-educated missus will have no trouble being heard over the most vocal ladies in daytime."
AP's dispatch is brief, but whacks at critics: "Michelle Obama was injected into the campaign when the Tennessee Republican Party posted an online video questioning her patriotism. That prompted her husband, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, to say political opponents should lay off his wife."
Isn't this "injected" language a little weird when political reporters gush over her as the "Supersurrogate" who can wow crowds all over?
AP's brief did not quote her controversial claim that she loves her country when it empowers her husband: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."

The View, A Breakdown
June 5, 2008 - 11:30 ET by MeanderingLet's see we have:
4 liberals yaking about stupid stuff for over an hour while 1 conservative who hardly gets a word in and can't talk about race or religion with anyone of the previous 4 jumping down her throat. Michelle should fit right in with those yahoos.
Hmmm!!
June 5, 2008 - 11:38 ET by mytwocentsSomeone tell me how this is not effectively free political campaigning by a network? I doubt that BHO will have to pay anything for this hour of power.
Well, since McCain's wife
June 5, 2008 - 19:50 ET by balboaWell, since McCain's wife did the same thing, the point is moot, isn't it?
Just great.....

Excellent venue for her.
June 5, 2008 - 11:54 ET by Chris NormanExcellent venue for her. Next to Behar, she'll look almost moderate.
Jeez, I just pissed my pants

I haven't taped anything from TV in many, many years, but I'm getting this... it's gonna be BROADcasting Hall of Fame stuff, for sure.
The only thing that would make it better would be if Mika The Annoying Mockingbird could join the panel.

June 5, 2008 - 12:30 ET by oldArmyI heard they invited McCain's wife....but she smelled like mothballs.

Equal time?
June 5, 2008 - 22:02 ET by m4ster chiefA better "point-counterpoint" match for Michelle "Ain't Nevah Been Proud" Obama (instead of Cindy McCain) would have been David Duke. Or his wife.
BTW: David Duke must be getting rather old now; only us oldsters know of him. Isn't there somebody more contemporary we could use when we need to cite a white racist? I can't come up with a name. The other side has "Rev." Jesse Jackson, "Rev." Al Sharpton, "Rev." Jeremiah Wright...hey, if Michelle Obama keeps it up, some church will make her an honorary "Reverend" too.

June 5, 2008 - 22:03 ET by bigtimerI don't watch The View...so I don't care...in fact I am weary of the subject of The View.
