I Write the Songs that Make Me Wimpier than the Lion before he Met the Wizard (who was a total douche bag, by the way)
Did you hear the latest nonsense about Barry Manilow refusing to go on ABC’s The View to promote his “new” album? (The “new” album is really just a compilation of Manilow’s hits from the 70s. Apparently, there are a whopping six new versions of old songs on the 18-track album. In other words, Barry just seems to be shoveling a lot of the same shit that he’s shoveled our way for years!)
Although you’ll be able to find Manilow promoting his album all over television today, you won’t find the man appearing on ABC’s The View! Why? Because he got cold feet about appearing when he found out that Joy Behar was going to force him to look at her vagina. Okay, so that’s not entirely true (but that would be a good reason for canceling his appearance, don’t you think?).
In truth, Manilow, a strong supporter of the Democratic party, won’t go on the show because he doesn’t want to appear on stage with Elisabeth Hasselback, an outspoken conservative Republican. Manilow thinks Elisabeth is “dangerous.”
I’ve never seen Barry Manilow in person, but if you get the chance, will you do me a favor? Grab his crotch to see if he’s got anything hanging down there. Sure doesn’t seem like it.
What the hell ever happened to debating those with whom you disagree? Elisabeth Hasselback might be a lot of things: opinionated, annoying, etc. But the woman is about as "dangerous" as a one-legged, unarmed midget on a football field.

The truth is..I don't blame him for one bit. AND I now have a greater admiration for him than I ever did.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck IS dangerous. In the way that idiotic, soulless, vapid young women like her parroting party lines they don't understand pull the wool over the eyes of today's youth and lull them into a false sense of complacency that stops them from questioning the current administration.
Ok, I'm getting off my soap box. I'm not political at all on my blog, but when it comes to Mrs. H, I can't help it. That woman needs to be stopped.

Oh, and I hate Rosie O'Donnell too. Did I ever post about that time a woman in the street offered me FREE tickets to be in the studio audience for The View (I live in that neighborhood) and I declined her not so politely? I said something like, "I hate that show and I would never go even if you paid me." In a very polite tone of voice, of course.

Dangerous? No. Borderline retarded? Signs point to yes.
To be honest I don'tlike to hang out with retarded people either, for fear that they may drool on me.

Seems to me over-educated should consider hanging out with "retarded people" even if all they do is drrol on him. With his attitude, it's likely the only drool from anopther person ever to touch him.

Elizabeth is an idiot. Rosie is a c**t. Both of them need to be locked inside a box, shaken until they kill each other.
Barry, is he even relevant in the music scene? Really, why is anyone buying his new album of old songs?

ms tim hasselback is not dumb or dangerous. She is courageous to be the only voice of reason on what some refer to as television for idiots.
Mannilow's main accomplishment is still being alive. Old people say embarrassing things all the time, no one should worry about it.
What we should think about is how blessed we are to have Ms H since she is an attractive woman with a brain and the correct perspective on nearly every issue. Who can argue with her stance on overweight lesbian dumbasses?

To be honest, the idiocy is pretty thick on that show:

Note only doesn't she believe in evolution (frankly, if you don't belive in evolution you are a complete moron) but she can't say one way or another WHETHER THE EARTH IS ROUND!!!!

She's dangerous and her brother-in-law fucking killed my fantasy football stats last season. All the HasselSUCKS should be benched.
