ok -- i watch too much tv --- especially during the day --- what normal 49 year old guy would watch daytime tv??
(says a lot about me - heheheheheh!)
i have 5 television sets in my office and i am supposed to 'monitor' what is going on -- on the other stations and networks here in NY...commercials, news breaks, programming etc --- you know the things most people would find exciting but really is quite mundane. most times the volume is off since what Rachael Ray or Jerry Springer have to say is usually not worth wasting my few remaining hearing nerves (snark)
tho i do watch (with volume) Martha Stewart --- Martha has no personality and is really quite boring --- but she has the best recipes and always has the cutest animals on -- she is a big animal lover and a big supporter of the Democratic party, and she did her time --- unlike the members of the Bush administration who deserve time in Dachau if you ask me
now onto The View with Rosie leaving it is time to rant about daytime TV.
so i rotate around during the day since i really can't stomach things like "One Life to Live" or any of the Judge shows (especially Judy............why would anyone go on that show to be yelled at by someone that reminds them of their mother)
but for some unexplained reason I often find myself turning up The View -- which may the WORST show on tv (other than anything on Fox News) since it tries to be so many things and ends up being so much of nothing.
but this year has been fascinating with Rosie. I am not a Rosie fan, but i don't despise her like i would despise Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter, i just find her annoying. but what i do like about her is that she does speak her mind, she doesnt filter and she really says what is on a lot of people's mind. good for her --- and her leaving will make this awful show even more awful, no matter who replaces her.
but onto my point --- that perky dipshit Elizabeth Hasselbeck --- she is like a republican talking point machine -- she actually believes the diarrhea she spews out every day. sometimes i dont know how Rosie or Joy Behar slug her --- I know Barbara Walters needs to show someone on the "dark side" -- but THIS IDIOT disguised as a barbie doll???
she really believes that Bush is doing the right thing in Iraq, just "poorly executed" -- she really believes that if we dont fight them here they will come here. she is obviously anti-choice (the least of her problems), does NOT believe humans are causing global warming, defends creationism -- and to top it off -- she really is INCREDIBLY stupid. i know they keep her on as the "opposition" but probably more for her looks --- but the GOP talking points that she spews are so annoying and cloying --- it is enough to make me throw pencils at the tv set (i dont want to go back to 4 sets -- i might miss a judge show or montel!) I also believe she was one of the girls who got naked for chocolate on "Survivor" (but i am not sure). i cannot believe Barbara Walters would find anything credible about a person who gets naked on a pole for chocolate.
Meanwhile i find myself actually getting riled up when she opens the asshole she calls a mouth and starts spewing Karl Rove talking points --- and the dolts in the audience just sit there and dont boo --- it is SO milquetoast -- no wonder no one watches daytime TV anymore. She like a polite Ann Coulter.
so if you are tired of getting angry at Bill O or Sean Hannity (who i simply cannot watch) or Limb-dicked Rush, turn on or TIVO The View sometime -- just for the first 10 minutes and watch a barbie doll talk about how her hero -- George Bush -- is making the world safe for democracy and keep us safe from turrists.
so back to watching useless Daytime TV -- and fuck you Elizabeth Hasselbeck -- it scares me that young people like you really find good in such an evil and incompetent man. Lucky you are married to a rich football player. i just needed a rant today.
