Barbara Walters Bans Kathy Griffin From "The View" — Again

"I was supposed to be on 'The View' [today]," said Griffin, who performs her final sold-out stand-up show tonight at Madison Square Garden. "But then I get a call from [producer] Bill Geddie, and he says, 'You were too mean to Barbara [Walters] on your last special, so you can't come on.' Can you believe it? I've been banned before but never re-banned!"

Barbara Walters and her show is as irrelevant as Britney Spears. I just want to make a comment in support for Kathy Griffin, whom I find very funny. Barbara is unfunny; I always wonder why she's been successful on TV, her voice is not TV quality, its annoying.

Ignore them Kathy...they are irrelevant. You're the best.

I thought this was supposed to be "The View"........which was to be "different" views! Cathy has a place there in my opinion.........and I wish Whoopi wasn't so watered down. I quit watching long ago, when I realized Whoopi just wasn't Whoopi at all!

[bknott]

Go Kathy! Get more mileage off this - I'm looking forward to your next special.

Never forget, folks -- Baba used to be Roy Cohn's beard.

Kathy won't beard for anyone. Not even Anderson Cooper.

Barbara is a BTOC who passes judgment on everyone else but can't stand it when anyone says anything less than glowing about her.

[VOTER]

Barbara's thin skin is showing.

Well, she is an old lady.

And don't worry Kathy, The View Regulars, are

already looking for future employment opportunities.

THE VIEW WILL BE GONE VERY, VERY SOON.

Whoopie will go back to her quiet life of pure bliss.

Joy will go on the road with a new comedy act - VIEWS OF

THE BITING BITCHES.

Shari is just looking around and around and around.

Elisabeth, the GOP Bitch, must seek employment asap
as her bench hugging football player husband has not been on the field since 2003 and will likely NEVER be on the field in a game again. He isn't injured. He just can't play the game. Anyway, she will be on The Fox Faux News Network giving fashion tips to Ann The Man.

Bill Geddes will delay seeking a new job until he
completes his doctor's treatment. Bill is suffering from
The Eunuch View syndrome.

You are wicked funny Kathy! I love your shows and

again want to thank you for entertaining our soldiers

in Iraq. They loved your humor.

I love Kathy. Her specials are hillarious, right up there with stuff put on Comedy Central. She'll milk the re-banning. It'll be a hoot on her "D-List" show.

Barbara is being an old lady. Kathy's comments weren't even all that terrible to her (I've heard worse).

I've got way more respect for Celine Dion who clearly can roll with the barbs a lot better than Babs.

A pox on both their houses!

[Savanarola]

Kathy has more humor, intelligence and entertainment capacity in her left nipple that the entire cast of the menopausal View. Empty headed-women who take themselves that seriously need the show for deep therapy.

[kroses98]

Without all this publicity from the HuffPo, the View, would probably wither and die a natural death. It's long past time!

[WingsofCrystal]

Kathy Griffin went to Iraq to entertain the troops. She will always have my respect for that.

[commentguy1234]

I used to hate Kathy Griffin (as I hate all women comedians, since they aren't funny -- except Cathy Ladman) but she did win me over with her show somehow. And I'm not even gay.

Am I?

Geez, why in the hell do I like Kathy Griffin?

[ramal]

Who watches "The View" anyway, except bored housewives and the unemployed? Turn the set off and scrub the floor; it would be time much better spent.

I like and respect Barbara Walters-- Griffin-- she's rough along the edges-- too edgy-- not calming-- too insulting-- and makes Rosy look like a choir boy or girl..
