NEW YORK — Cindy McCain is joining the ladies on "The View" _ at least for a day.

Republican candidate John McCain's wife will be a co-host on the ABC daytime chat show next Monday. She'll give conservative host Elisabeth Hasselbeck a rare ally in the show's political conversations.

McCain's husband has been on "The View" four times, most recently last week.

There's no word on whether she'll be bringing any recipes to share. Her husband's campaign had a mild embarrassment this week when an intern posted recipes on its Web site lifted from the Food Network and Rachel Ray and falsely passed them off as Cindy McCain's.

I had no idea that she speaks too. I thought her primary function was to provide background while gran-pa spoke.

Cindy and John McCain as America's first couple? Hmmmm, there is something wrong with that picture. A white house without any soul. That is not America in the 21st century.

Once a great show . . . ho-hum now. Ever since Meredith left, the class of the show disintegrated. Now, it is what I see as I flick the channels - nothing to stop for any more. Gosh, with McCain's wife on, I'm not sure I could stand watching Elizabeth fawn and drool all over her . . . now way!

Will any questions be allowed about John's first wife and family?? Or is that off limits??? How about Cindy stealing from the charity she worked for? Or about about her not being charged with a crime for that. Just asking. Anyone else and they would be doing time for this. Or the drugs??? Just asking again. Color me an inquiring mind, but I don't get to sit there in NY with the girls and ask these questions.

Does this tell us something about the debate? Now there is no doubt in my mind. This network is pimping for McInsane.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Cindy McCain, what a combo, .. vow!! They just need to add Ann Coulter and Vickie Iseman and the ratings will go through the roof.

Fridays show. Joy Behars knowledge on the Cuban missle crisis is based on a MOVIE. Her knowledge of John Adams is based solely on the mini-series. This woman makes an ass of herself everyday with her smug absurd comments.

So what if Cindy McCain is on a women's talk show. She had an addiction problem that she has spoken out and apologized for. I am sure that Michelle Obama has been invited as well.

Barack Obama clains that he wants to unite the country for a common good.

If these comments are indicative of how the country will unite together then obviously it's all a pipe dream. I am tired of everyone hating each other and disagreeing just for sport.

Our comments have NOTHING TO DO WITH SENATOR OBAMA. Duh! Huh?

McCain's lies and distortions are being covered over and as citizens

we do not want to allow this to happen.

You shouldn't want it too!

Wow...the McMedia is letting McCain's beer heiress host The View. I would have never guessed. After watching ABC's hosted debate last night I never once got the impression that ABC, who owns 'The View', had any bias towards the Democratic candidates, or would ask loaded, puerile questions in an effort to trivialize the Democratic Party.

Elisabeth: "Welcome, Cindy! We LOVE your husband and want to know you better."

Cindy: "Thanks, Elisabeth. I am married to John McCain, our next President." Applause

"We had a torrid affair years ago then married. My family told me if I EVER
wanted to become First Lady I should get the guy and I did." Giggles

"My life hasn't been easy. I once did DRUGS AND STOLE DRUGS FROM MY CHARITY." Sniffles.

"Why? Pain and the Keating Five Scandal. Few know, I was the Bookkeeper for the Keating Five and when the Feds arrived and demanded receipts, I
couldn't find..... Imagine the STRESS!"

"I hope voters accept my apology for Keating Five. It's old news." Sniffles

"I NO LONGER DO DRUGS AND NEVER WILL AGAIN!" ( Ovation)

(Elisabeth is crying.)

"Today the only thing I steal is recipes. No one gets hurt. I ran out of ideas.
Who hasn't?"

"Let me say, I LOVE AMERICA AND HAVE NEVER DOUBTED WHAT WE HAVE DONE AS A NATION WASN'T RIGHT!"

(Applause. Elisabeth has passed out.)

An audience member asks, "Mrs. McCain, my family suffered from the Keating Five, may I ask you some questions?"

FADE TO BLACK.

Will she talk about her arrest record? Will she admit she doesn't live in Arizona? Will she confess that her husband verbally abuses her? I didn't think so. But she might wear her leather pants.

NicoleAnonymous.."The woman almost went to JAIL"

The key word here is "almost." Cindy is another elitist who can buy her way out of anything. She reminds me of Leona Helmsley......."Laws are just for the little people."

I hope Cindy is able to make good use of her time on "The View" and explains to the American people and the families of troops in harms way, why John, who claims to support our troops...hasn't signed the GI bill.

I watched her story on 60 minutes when he ran the last time and I thought her story was very sad if you don't know the whole story please don't talk about the woman as if she were a coke dealer. And by the way didn't Michelles husband do the coke thing.

Didn't you get the memo from the RNC Toby? They're not doing the "I hate America" talking point any more.

This week's talking point is "Obama is an elitist who insulted small-town America". Please try to keep up.
