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.

Watch:

why does huffpost give the view space? that idiot sherri, for example, doesn't even vote why should she even have a valid opinion?

Frankly, imitate is different from mocking. Clearly the three women were persuaded and did vote for Hillary. If It was a case of mocking, it would be negative and they would vote otherwise. The women why just trying to use a colorful way to state who they voted for.

I don't see "mocking" in this clips. They were having fun, it seems they supported Hillary, and I think even Chelsea would have found the talk harmless.

HuffPost is OBSESSED with promoting the negative about anything "Clinton."

Are the pets next on your hit list? Surely they must be sleazballs too and worthy of attack if they're owned by the Clintons.

The women of America are Women of the world....
We have arrived. It's time. It's time we had a say. The men have been running the show since time began.

We need a different perspective. New blood and new eyes and hearts.Women are multi taskers.We do things a mile a minute and think it is normal.Picture a smart, sensitive , woman at the helm.If ever I have seen a woman I can follow, It's Hillary.
In 20 years, we will look back and see what a revolution this really is.I do not want to look back and think that I missed being a part of it. I am for Hillary.*****************************Hillary is the revolution.

I'm happy to say that the only time I've ever seen any part of that program is this little clip at this site.
Foolish curiosity on my part this time.
This brief clip confirms I have made the correct decision never watching that trash.
And why did the HuffPo headline writer insert that adjective "breathy"????

I would love to know why The View consistently rates front page coverage here at HuffPo? Could it be that Arianna and Bill Geddes are pals? I've seen the show on occasion and wondered what all the hoopla is about. It seems to me that all the intelligence and reasonability is skewed to the Joy/Whoopie end of the table. I bear no ill will towards Elizabeth and Sherry but in my opinion they seem rather dim witted.

Headline stinks, but the segment was cute!

[tallky]

just plain mean - I wish I had an ounce of respect for one of these women and I don't . . . so to hear them making fun of this incredibly accomplished young woman quietly working for her mother who has changed all our lives, yet willing to do even more; it was inexcusable and embarrassing. Especially from Whoppi Goldberg who at least has a brain.

[javaman]

jealous much, you fucking yentas?

[rockchick]

What tacky cows those "View" females are. As if none of THEM provides ample fodder for ridicule, beginning with Botox Babe and ending with Baba Wawa. Classless, clueless, vapid twits. Oops, almost typed "tw@ts"...

Why does everyone here get so upset about the [insert your derogatory adjectives here] women of The View? They're not on C-SPAN and they don't claim to be fair, balanced or even "News." Really, if you are watching ABC midmorning, you are probably doing it by choice. I think the show's producers have done a remarkable job of keeping a show about nothing on the air for 10+ years. "Seinfeld" only lasted nine. I have somewhat negative opinions about several of the women they've had hosting, and when Elisabeth's ignorance shows through especially, I've written to ABC and told them what I think. But a HuffPo political forum about an unpresumptuous chat show?

I do believe they need research assistants, and maybe they should have to pass some competency test about the Constitution and the shape of the Earth before they're signed up. I know more about their "hot topics" than they do (and that's sad). Whoopi should really have read the bit about NOW denouncing Ted Kennedy as a traitor, so she wouldn't have had to retract it this week. And btw, Whoopi, it's "for" women, not "of".

Unfortunately, these hosts are actually more informed than the average American. Read the letters to the editor of an average US newspaper or watch Jay Leno's Jaywalking, and you might realize that most people don't know the difference between fascism and communism, or between representative democracy and plutocracy, or what primaries or the electoral college are. It might take this kind of base show to tell a few people that it's the big-spending Republicans that can't even propose a balanced budget, or whatever it is the uninformed homebody TV addicts might learn.

Oh, yeah, I'm a (fully-fledged) male homebody.

Sherrie Sheppard is so loud and uncouth regardless of what the topic.

There is nothing intelligent or lady-like about that woman. Honestly, I don't know if she is putting on an act or not, but I do know that it is extremely annoying.

[mooph]

When Chelsea called me, I told her that I was going to write her in as a candidate.

[marignymitch]

The lede in the story was buried. The real news is Sherri Shepherd can sit at a computer!
