For those living in a rock, the Chilean Miners have been freed! All 33 were rescued late last night, and the 6 rescuers were also returned. You could hear nations from all over the world rejoicing as they were all rescued. Something that you might not have known about the situation was that there was some scandal to it as well.
The 21st miner to come up might have had thoughts to stay down in that mine, as some people have said. He had the idea of inviting both his wife and his mistress of 10 years to the site when he was brought up. His wife didn't take it too well, and was not there when he arrived. Instead, his mistress was there, and she was all over him like they were married. Imagine the welcome home party.
So I must announce that a few minutes ago I was on the edge of my seat when I was watching today's episode of The View. If you didn't watch it, then I hope that you catch some replays on tonight's news and on Youtube. They invited Bill O'Reilly to the show due to the release of his new book. I think all of them, plus O'Reilly was in for a shock.
O'Reilly cut straight to the chase and got to the hot topics on his chest. Mainly he started with how the midterm elections are actually based on President Obama, and not the canidates running. He talked about how the President's approval rating was at a low, and that was due to him not being involved with the people.
He set the place on fire when he brought up the Mosque situation in New York. He told Joy to give him a chance to teach her something, which caused the audience to boo him, while she called him "pigheaded" and later "Arrogant". Whoopi took offense when he mentioned the muslims that were behind the 9/11 attacks, and she defended them by saying that 70 muslims were dead during the attacks.
More talks, including Whoopi saying a few bleeped words and O'Reilly degrading the Muslim culture even more caused both Joy and Whoopi to storm off of the stage. Barbera Walters tried to calm the audience by saying that Joy and Whoopi should not have walked out, and telling O'Reilly that he was going too far as well.
Joy and Whoopi rejoined the stage saying that O'Reilly apologized. They didn't have much to say after that though. Whoopi had murder in her eyes, and I think Joy was making notes on what she will say what she really thinks of him for her show tonight. And they ended his segment in a calm mood by promoting his new book.
You want my honest opinion? I think he went on that show with that type of attitude. People like that want to sling dirt and get people all hot and ready for a fight. I know from past knowledge of him that nobody can really have a nice thing to say about him because he is way too extreme about what he has to say.
If you asked me, I think Whoopi should have kicked his ass...

You're missing the point Tyler, Bill did exactly what he intended to do - create buzz about himself and his new book. And you're doing exactly what he wanted you to do - write about it. You just helped him sell a few more books ... he says 'thank you'.
ReplyDeleteBill will never convert View fans to his cable show, and certainly not the reverse. He selected the View and stirred up the audience to create a fresh controversy - to create something newsworthy. His followers dislike the View as much as the View audience dislikes him - it's a perfect press storm. And he played it well.
Like him or not, he got you to write about him and, once again, he says 'thank you'.
