#1 Never much of a fan of Walters, but I thought this excellent video posted yesterday by Skid might be appropriate. RIP.

#2 She had a long and successful career. Her ardent sycophancy I found nauseating at times... Requiescat in pace.

#6 I can’t remember if she was the one that did the Tyson and Robin Givens interviews. Never was interested in her stuff. I remember that they made fun of her on SNL when they had writer’s block.

#9 Forgot about The View. Was thinking of her in more of the original Love Boat era. I guess her retirement from the show was kind of like removing the plastic packaging off the 12 pack of Charmin. All vestiges were gone and it was all down to business from there.

#11 Remove the thin veneer of branding and start dabbing and wiping the tons of Behar and Whoopi.

#12 The audience of "The View" is women white and black who simply hate not being in charge. Mostly white but also black women who aspire to white culture. Hence the show's on screen makeup.

#13 ...more modern women have found being a ventriloquist with a white male as a dummy works OK to attain that power, as in Pennsylvania.

#15 Also Rizal, Rasputin, Richard Rodgers, and...

"In '84, children, que pasa?"
"An actress accused her harasser?"
"Be serious, please.
There succumbed to a freeze
A methusalan monkey named Massa!"

Okay, bad joke. It was a stroke.
