Well, it certainly was a banner day for the girls of ABC’s “The View.” First, they wondered if Sen. Tim Johnson’s sudden illness might have been part of a Republican conspiracy [0]. Then, they showed tremendous disrespect for the current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (video available here [1] courtesy of our friend at Ms Underestimated [2]).

As the discussion moved to presidential hopefuls for 2008, Fox News’s Dari Alexander mentioned Condoleezza Rice. Rosie O’Donnell replied:

No. I don’t enjoy her. I don’t…No. No. No….I’m not a fan of the Condi. I’m not. I’m just telling you right now I don’t enjoy the Condi. I don’t know. Stop writing, because I’m not gonna enjoy her. And I’m not gonna apologize. (Huge audience applause.)

Co-host Joy Behar then joined in:

We don't know whether she's under his thumb or not, though. We don't know, I don't know where she's really at. I can't tell.

Rosie responded: “I would love to have dinner with her alone one night and force her to drink at least two glasses of wine and then I’ll let you know if I like her.”

Behar followed: “But, you know what, she’s already drunk the Kool-Aid.”

Rosie quipped: “Well, that’s a scary thing.”  

ABC executives must be so proud.
