Ladies Of The View Are Unanimous: Weiner Is A Distraction That Must Resign Now

Video
» 17 comments

When the liberal Joy Behar and the conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck are in complete agreement against you, then you know you’re really in trouble. Congressman Anthony Weiner’s ongoing ordeal has united the The View co-hosts, and when you throw in the fact that Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd agree with them too, you have a ladies round table that is unanimous: Weiner must resign, and as soon as possible.

Behar actually may have had the harshest comments about Weiner, and definitely the funniest. Behar declared “he is such a narcissict this guy that I’m surprised he doesn’t send pictures of himself to himself.” Hasselbeck was disgusted that Weiner “is so self-empowered that he thinks it’s actually good enough that he said ‘I’m sorry’” without going further and actually resigning. Behar concluded:

“I think he should resign. He’s a distraction . . . he’s distracting everybody from the issues. Get out now Anthony – out!”

Whoopi was a bit more light-hearted, saying about this scandal “it’s not Republicans, it’s not Democrats, it’s just dummies” and expressing shock at reports suggesting the Congressman’s wife was “sticking by her Weiner.” If Behar was married to him, she wasn’t shy about what her reaction would be to the “jerk,” promising “I would have dropped him like a hot rock.” With the The View co-hosts so readily throwing Weiner overboard, might Weiner be thinking “If I’ve lost the ladies of The View, I’ve lost America?”

    Well there you go! The smartest that the Democrats have to offer made the call.

    I mean, these are the smartest that the Democrats have in their corner right?

    It wasn’t just a couple of days ago that these geniuses could not see through the lies right?

    Well get on it Dems, your queens of daytime intellectual discussion have made the call.

    Sorry, just hadddddd to.

    It’s ALMOST as shameful as Weiner …
    that Joy Behar attempted to turn this into a political discussion.
    The VIEW, minus Behar, would be twice as good, at least.

    Yes but twice as good as what they are is not much help for them.

  • TeaPartyNation

    The lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists desperately want to get away from the perversions and lies of The Weiner and back to things that are really important: like criticizing, demonizing and lying about Paul Ryan’s courageous, outstanding plan to rescue Medicare and help America avoid becoming yet another failed socialist state like Greece.

    It’s actually hard to say which is more pathetic, repulsive and despicable: The Weiner or the rest of the d-cRAT socialists. (Of course, they’re equal !)

    A few Liberals will not give up the fight. Facebook is not very private.

    Well I guess that solves everything then.

  • Harry Flashman

    Oh, well….that’s it then. The Brain Trust has spoken.

    Oh, wait….what? They’re Brain Donors. not the Brain Trust? Oops. My bad.

    Nevermind.

    That is an important lesson here. My grandmother was of the old school, holding that a proper lady’s name appeared in print only thrice in her life – her Christening announcement, her nuptials and her obituary. A little too quaint for today, but the social media basically encourages lost and lonely souls to appear before us cloaked in their own trash. Not an improvement ….

  • ostracario

    Well that settles it. If the women of The View think he should resign then I guess there’s no choice.

  • Colorado_Conservative

    NO NO NO NO!!!!!…The Weiner needs to stay around and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT from being forced out of office….He needs to be as vocal and visible as possible.
    The whole Democratic party needs to get behind him and help him fight this outlandish scandal.
    Even if it takes until after the 2012 elections!!!!

    FIGHT WEINER FIGHT

  • The Voice of Reason

    Let his constituents decide. It is them whom he represents

  • Dem4Ever

    I want Weiner to stay right where he is. This guy’s arrogance will bring down the Left and their socialistic agenda.

    Hey Weiner,

    The ED SHOW still believes in you!

    LMAO!!!

    LMFAO!!!!

    - and you progressives out there – this was a Lefty that was going places!!

    LMFAO!!!

    LMFAO!!!!!

  • http://www.zazzle.com/talkingpoints NORBIT Jr.

    Your career is pretty much OVER when the Cackling Hens on The VIEW throw you OVERBOARD!

    LMFAO!!~!!

  • BOMBSHELL

    There are NO “ladies” on the view so this must be a made up story…unless they had some guests, of course.
