... and Barbara returns for the occasion. Quite a coup. Guess this means they're bumping Alec Mapa. Too bad. It would be great if they had Mapa on to face off with Obama and ask him some tough questions regarding DADT, DOMA, and gay marriage.

"It would be great if they had Mapa on to face off with Obama and ask him some tough questions regarding DADT, DOMA, and gay marriage."

Barbara wouldn't allow it. She'll kiss his *ss like she always does. Joy will sit there and swoon and ask jerk questions like "Are you Brad Pitt's brother?" This will be another waste of time.

Goth already has his complaints ready to post. Interview has not even been taped yet but people like Goth already have their complaints ready.Goth I swear,you'll bitch at anything the man does. "Your Kind" can be taken seriously and than God they aren't.

Mapa was scheduled to return to the show this week? He was just on last week.

Yes, they loved him so much they offered him a co-host spot the next day.

But I'm thinking that's not happening now.

Gosh!! Obama once again ruins it for the gays!!!

Seriously.

Anyway, now Alec is co-hosting on Friday.

When is Friday's show going to tape? Wednesday?

Too bad. I would have LOVED to have seen Mapa versus Obama. I was going to try and do standby tickets that day. Guess now it would be idiotic to try to.

Military choppers were landing in lower Manhattan today. Saw them on my way to work. Are they taping Obama this afternoon?

[Reginald Tresilian]

No, those are for Alec Mapa.

Kidding. I've been told they're taping the president Wednesday, to air Thursday, and Alec is taping Thursday, to air Friday.

What topic will Elisabeth bring up to make her look like a jerk?

[supportivemom]

Posted: 7/26/10 at 9:51pm

In my opinion, every subject she brings up makes her look like a jerk! With all of those sharp-witted entertaining women on the show- she is completely out of her league! just sayin'

This topic was being discussed on the AMC boards today, and I couldn't even go into the thread. The teabagger crazies on that board are out of control.

I agree supportivemom.

Elisabeth is all bark and no bite. She'll just nod and smile like an airheaded prom queen, them go back to badmouthing his administration the next day. She doesn't have the balls or the brains to take on the president face to face.

But she has the earpiece!

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 7/27/10 at 1:17pm

I'm sure she's in the mirror right now practicing "snotty face".

Is that the same earpiece Angela Lansbury was using in A Little Night Music?

It would be funny if, in response to the president, someone fed Elisabeth some of Madame Armfeldt's zingers.

Posted: 7/27/10 at 2:02pm

Obama talks about Breitbart and Elisabeth says "Solitaire is the only thing in life that demands absolute honesty."

[madbrian]

Posted: 7/27/10 at 2:10pm

Just a thought, at the end of A Little Night Music, do you think Mme Armfeldt wakes up from her dream, and the other characters have all been projections?

And yes, I did see Inception and A Little Night Music on the same day.

That's perfect, Joe.

Then she looks around, confused, wondering if anyone understood what she said, then suddenly blurts out, "To life! And to the only other reality-—DEATH!"

And Barack just smiles.

Coincidentally, national theatrical treasure Robert Patrick has posed just such a parlor game on Facebook:

PRE-"VIEW" CHALLENGE. President Obama is to appear on "The View" tomorrow. Quickly, post a two line-exchange between him and a "View" Panelist.

Posted: 7/27/10 at 2:39pm

The President: "The truth is, it took nearly a decade of failed economic policies to create this mess, and it will take years to fully repair the damage."

Elisabeth: "But but but...Socialist! Racist!....You, you, you...Where's your gift certificate! I mean birth receipt! I....I....I Socialist!!"

E-beth sounds like a particularly addled Angel of the Continental Principality of America there, Joe.
