You should be able to see it online at ABC.COM tomorrow. It's just about to start here, but I'm working, so I'm taping it. Saw an excerpt on the Nightline last night since the show was recorded yesterday. Barbara was there.

Oh, you know, I really should write one of my long form things about today's show, shouldn't I? It was all kinds of dopey, so it probably deserves it.

Dear Diary,
It was an extraordinary day on The View today! Mrs Hasselbeck showed up in a dress seemingly designed to make even her narrow hips look wide, Ms Shepard had a hair piece that looked like a bowling ball attached to the back of her head, and Ms Walters made a triumphant return to the program that has done more to ruin her reputation than that time she asked Katherine Hepburn what kind of tree she would like to be.
Oh. And the President was there, too.
I thought the show handled it with customary grace, my dearest diary, because at the beginning Ms Goldberg announced that she just couldn't believe it, but today was going to be the first time in history etc etc etc. But FIRST!--having the President at a farkakte yapping contest isn't enough--Ms Waltes is back! Oh, I could just feel the electricity from my chair, as Ms Walters, 2 months past an encounter with a surgeon's scalpel, hobbled out to the stage. The sweet young Mrs Hasselbeck, my dearest diary, showed what a kind, thoughtful woman she is by offering her lovely boss a hand so she could climb the two stairs to the table! This proves her compassion, diary, even more than when she yawned and scratched and snarked her way through the Kathy Griffin interview--and even more than when she called Ms Griffin "scum" for yet another one of her tasteless comments! That Griffin woman just doesn't have the same kind of morals Mrs Hasselbeck has, I can say that! Mrs Hasselbeck knows that if you're going to be nasty to somebody, you have to act like a decent woman and do it when she's not there.
Anyhow, HRH Walters told us that today isn't about her--this shows what a compassionate soul she is--but that when they come back from hiatus in September, she'll tell us all about her surgery and show us her scars from open heart surgery. I'm hoping she gives us a look at the stigmata, too! She's the St Francis of daytime TV, after all.
After the victorious return of HRH Walters, Ms Goldberg introduced us to the President, who sauntered out and gave everyone a hug, including Ms Shepherd and her bowling ball. Ms Shepherd, in fact, even gave us an audible, "hello, Mr President" in case we had forgotten the guest's identity in the interim. That was as thoughtful of her as Mrs Hassellbeck's gesture toward HRH Walters, wasn't it diary? Part of me thinks she might have done it so she could remind herself, though; it wasn't that long ago that Ms Shepherd couldn't remember whether the earth was flat or that people had existed before Christianity. So I do worry about memory loss issues with her. Did she forget about the bowling ball on the back of her head? I have no idea, diary, but I'm sure she'll remember it after she puts her lovely son Jeffrey to bed this evening.
Ms Behar was kind enough to tell the President how much more gray his hair is now than when he was running for the office. I wished the President had demonstrated more Christian charity by following her model and mentioning that she had gained weight since then, but for whatever reason he didn't say a word. I guess this is evidence of those Muslim rumors.
Then the President told a series of lies: it's a pleasure to be here, his wife Michelle watches the show, and he cares about the question Mrs Hasselbeck is asking. Although he told that lie with a good deal of effort because Mrs Hasselbeck was putting all her energy and emotion into it--the unemployed, Mr President! 8%, Mr President! Promises, Mr President! Between the hyperventilating and the overwrought rhetoric, only a man who truly harbors a secret Muslim past could be unmoved....and Mrs Hasselbeck herself appeared on the verge of tears (see: discussions about how much it sucks that she can't use the N word and black folks can; discussions about abortion, etc).
And yet this foreign interloper held his ground! He insisted that the police and teachers and firefighters who kept their jobs despite the sucky economy were happy to have them! He probably got that response from some page in the Qur'an.
Oh, then it got serious, Diary. Ms Behar wanted to know about Lindsay Lohan, Snooki, and Mel Gibson. The President, in his most obvious lie yet, insisted that he doesn't know who Snooki is. As if, Diary! The guy is only concerned with "people of color"--of which Snooki is definitely one!--and he doesn't know about her? Next, he'll be telling us he doesn't know about other famous people of color, like John Boehner. And of course the brainwashed masses will believe him. Just thinking about it, I had to throw my Hello, Kitty doll across the room!
Anyhow, diary, I'd love to say more, like how the President talked about being a "mongrel" because he's biracial and all that, but I think they'll be talking about substantive things like that tomorrow on Morning Joe, which I never see unless I've had too much vodka.
Thinking of you, which is to say of me,
Tisha

That was a fun read, Tish
I think my favorite part of the whole show was when The President shut EH down instantly when he told her the people in school now are the ones who will be creating the new jobs, not just taking them. I don't think that point of view ever crossed her mind and she thought she was going manage to get in a "gotcha".

Tishala, I check out this site every single day to read what you have to say about the goings-on with the ladies of the View -- and I am never disappointed. Yesterday's recap was the best. Thank you!

After seeing the DC housewives on the show, I was a little surprised. I have never watched any of the housewives shows (except a couple eps of NY to see who Kelly was), and I thought these women don't start hating each other until a couple seasons into it. None of these women seemed to like each other at all and the premiere hasn't even aired yet. A lot must have happened during the first season filming. yikes.

Now this is funny.
Whoopi Goldberg accused of hitting 'Real Housewives' cast member on 'The View'
Whoopi Goldberg has been accused of hitting Michaele Salahi, the Real Housewives of DC cast member who made headlines last year for allegedly showing up uninvited to an event at the White House, according to ABC. (A lawyer for the Salahis told The Hollywood Reporter this morning that the couple “may not be referred to as ‘party crashers’ as that statement is false and defamatory.”)
In a statement issued by ABC, the network says that the Salahis claim Goldberg hit Michaele during her appearance on The View on Wednesday to promote The Real Housewives of DC. Check out the full press release and the clip of the actual show below:
“At one point during Michaele Salahi’s appearance on The View on Wednesday, Whoopi Goldberg lightly touched Ms. Salahi to get her attention and said to her, ‘Excuse me, can you get back to the White House, please,’ meaning could Ms. Salahi return to the original subject of the conversation. After the show, Ms. Salahi and her husband accused Whoopi of hitting Ms. Salahi. As the broadcast clearly shows, the accusation was completely unfounded and erroneous. After the show and after being told she was being accused of hitting Ms. Salahi, Whoopi proceeded to defend herself verbally from this baseless claim in a heated exchange with the Salahis.”
“Ms. Salahi claims she never said that Whoopi hit her,” the ABC press release continues.
A rep for ABC says the issue will be discussed on The View today (What? The View? Courting controversy? Never!), so I guess we’ll just have to stay tuned to see what happens...

I am watching the show today. Whoopi sure has a lot to say about the accusations and what happened after the show. I guess Whoopi really cussed out her out after the show for saying she hit the her. All Whoopi did was touch her hand to Salahi's hip.

Wow. This brings back memories of a crazy employee at the ranch where I work. Same thing, exactly. I touched her lightly on the shoulder while telling her that she had done a good job of pulling things off (for a parade), but she needed to be better prepared next time. She then ran to the Executive Director and claimed I "punched" her. Crazy people. Truly.

Good thing it was caught on film. It clearly shows that Whoopi barely touched her on the arm, and if she felt she was "hit," why didn't she cry out at the time? She seemed calm at the time. I, too, think they should have been arrested for trespassing at the White House. You just don't party crash when the President is involved.

She even said she was touched. She also didn't have a red mark on her arm, and she kept talking. A person who is hurting would grab their arm and grimace in pain.

Wouldn't the sensible thing of Whoopi to do was go in and quietly speak to the Salahi's after they made their accusation? No, Whoopi had to show us why she has so vehemently defended Mel Gibson--she is just like him.
What a charming bunch of people.

ITA Babyjax.
My take is that Whoppi was extremely ticked at the bold face lie and she went off. Whoppi was angry but I don't think she has the same problems as Mel Gibson who clearly has mental issues in my opinion.
Good for Whoppi for telling her and her tacky husband off.Bravo was also wrong for taping the Salahi's going to the White House.

Wish they'd taped Whoopi going off on the Salahis. I'd watch that! What a sorry excuse for human beings. From other things I've read about them, you just can't believe a word they say.

I'm watching this morning's show on the PC instead of on the TV, and I paused it to go reheat my coffee. When I sat back down I started laughing when I noticed which frame I had paused on...LOL They were talking about bed bugs at the time.
