Chelsea Clinton Calls 'View' Ladies, They Imitate Her Breathy Voice

Former and potential first daughter Chelsea Clinton worked the phones yesterday by calling three of four cohosts on The View. On Wednesday morning's show Whoopi said she voted for Hillary, and then Joy, Whoopi and Sherri recounted their phones ringing after Tuesday's show. Then, in quiet, dippy voices each relived her conversation with Chelsea. "Hi [pause], this is Chelsea Clinton..." Apparently the Clintons know Elisabeth Hasslebeck is a lost cause, as she lamented not getting a call.

"View" Ladies Mock Breathy Super Tuesday Phone Calls From Chelsea Clinton - headline on the home page

I've listened to that 3 times now and I don't see any evidence of those women mocking her.

Shame on whoever wrote that trash, HuffPo.

[SmolderingRuin]

Every single member of The View disgusts me.

[factanonverba]

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Funny but on that panel it sounds like at least two if not three women voted for Clinton. Clinton is won California by winning 3 of every 5 votes of women.

You are the bimbo Arianna. You have allowed your hatred for Hillary, to reduce you to a conniving, vicious old lady.

What the hell?

First Huff Post becomes the Barack Obama promotional site, now we're seeing tabloid stories?

Give me a break!

If I want to read about this silly stuff with headlines that don't match the stories, I'll buy a copy of National Inquirer.

Oh my God, Arianna, I am just struggling to know why you have such hatred for Hillary to allow a totally negative (and inaccurate) depiction of something that was if anything, completely benign and possibly even flattering. Or maybe you don't screen any of that and accepting crap on the scale of the tabloids is okay...

Folks, Ariana has no integrity. When it comes to basic decency, she should be lumped with the likes of Rush Lambaugh and other right wing scam artists.

[bluesky49876]

More trash from HuffPost. This is absolutely the trashiest website. Compared to this, FOX can rightly claim to be fair and balanced.

[jadez]

four idiots.

what do you expect from tv?

[joeblack982]

wow what a bunch of bullshit. i was expecting something harsh but they're having fun. yawn

I watched The View today and heard the exchange about Chelsea calling Whoopie, Joy and Sherry. I did not hear or see them mocking Chelsea at all.

I'm so surprised that there is so much anything or anyone Clinton bashing on here. I just don't get it. Obama is treated like the golden child, whereas, Hillary is treated as the wicked stepmother. Sad.

Why, Arianna, is this story worth your time?

[LeoMarvin]

I'd love nothing more than to jump on this bandwagon. First of all I've always felt defensive of Chelsea for all the disgusting, mean-spirited abuse she took from the Clinton-haters when she was an awkward kid living in the White House. And Lord knows there's nobody more annoying than those View ladies. But I have to say, it didn't sound like they had any malicious intent in that segment. Sure, they teased Chelsea about her voice, but it was perfectly good-natured.

[PrimeTimeMom]

I believe in my heart of hearts that the View ladies minus EH voted for Obama.

On the subject of women, no disrespect meant. America at times reminds me of a woman suffering from battered womens syndrome. Because her man finances her well being, even in the face of serious abuse, she will never leave him.
Similary America, It has been so abused by politicians, like and including the Clintons, with their moral degradation,et al and disillusio­nment,that because they had some money in the 90's even now, when a good man comes along offering, hope and the chance to re-invent herself for a better life, America refuses to leave and simply want to go back to the abusive life.
Yeah, the argument(debatable) is Clinton gave us a good economy in the 90's but we did suffer in many other ways. Do we really want to go back to that or make a clean break?
