Sherri Shepherd, bless her heart, reared her slightly empty head today on The View to stand up to resident crazy Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies' Friday show was pretaped, so today they threw in extra chirping about Thursday night's debate. Can you guess who Elisabeth thought did the best job? She tried to convince the other women, which is when Sherri "I haven't thought about whether the earth is flat or round" Shepherd got riled up and spewed some semi-coherent thoughts for the first time in her life. We never thought we'd say this, but: Good for you, Sherri!
The transcript of the smackdown is after the jump. Things got much more heated later in Hot Topics when the discussion turned to Obama's "terrorist ties," but asking someone to transcribe that mess is like asking someone to walk on water. It ain't happening. Hopefully there will be video for you later in the day.
Update: Video here.
SS: Watching Joe Biden speak, it restored a lot of confidence that I have. I felt like, OK, if something — goodness forbid — happens, I feel so confident in you stepping in, and I just saw that all of that experience that he has had as a senator, I saw it.
EH: Don't you see it in Senator McCain then?
SS: OK, we're talking about the vice presidents.
EH: I know but I'm saying that if that's something of value and that's something of importance maybe it'd be something to consider for the presidential candidates.
SS: I do see good things in Senator McCain, however, I am concerned about Palin. When I watched the debate and I watched Governor Palin, she winked three times.
EH: She said, you know, I'm gonna tell you about me, I'm gonna look right at you and tell all the people about me.
BW: … 'And I'm not necessarily going to answer the questions you asked.'
EH: She did that a couple times, sure.
SS: But it's supposed to be a debate. I thought that a debate was they ask you a question, you answer, somebody gives a rebuttal and you answer it. That's what I thought a debate was supposed to be.



Wait, Sheri Sheperd said the word rebuttal?!?!
That is as shocking as when Palin used the word cyclical during the debate.
the hasselbeck trolls should be arriving in…

::rubs hands together::
lol at stoney…
yeah, that shocked me, too.
and how much longer are they going to put out that "terrorist ties" BS? hasn't that been debunked a few times already?
I guess when you're losing on issues, that's all you got.
I like that Sherri Shepherd has set the bar so low for herself that we are shocked that she understands the definition of debate.
Someone needs to lolcats that photo.
I'm sure a lot of us have terrorist ties. I have a lot of Irish connections - pretty sure there's an IRA member or two in there somewhere.
I'm buddies with a totally terroristy looking dude at the local sandwich shop.
The Repubs are really starting to scare me. They talk about a fair campaign, then start mud slinging (the terrorist comments by Pallin). It's almost like they would rather destroy thier own country than admit they may be wrong on a few things (Pallin's VP nom.). I really hope that, someday, thier children can forgive them for these childish actions.
Em-

I also really hope that Elizabeth's kids all turn out to be queer : )
Desperation.
Wait until the McCain camp brings up pot-smoking, Jeremiah Wright, lapel flag pins, the fist-bump, Obama's middle name, his place of birth, and Michelle's "questionable" patriotism.
Oh, wait. They've already used those and got no traction from them.
But they're definitely not above trying to take them back on the road for a second run.
poo, they have already announced that they're going there.
and obama got out the first shot.
hey senator mccain? if you're going to be a douche and try to rehash all the old shit that has already done been rehasht in the primaries, don't ANNOUNCE IT a week before you do it. sort of takes away the element of surprise.
obama's already got ads out talking about how the economy is in the crapper and all mccain wants to do is talk about debunked lies re obama being a muslim christian terrorist.
boo ya.
Those 2 give women a bad name… and Palin.. those 2 and Palin. If McCain is elected the US will have a slogan " YEHAW" .. then I'm moving to Europe.
SeVen, the new official slogan will actually be "We're Americans, gosh darnit, and if you don't support us, there's a special place in Hell for ya."
Every time I start thinking about the fact that Sarah Palin could be our next president, I get a migraine.
"President Palin our ally in the war against terrorism, Pakistan, just dropped a nuclear bomb on India, what are we going to do?"
"Gosh darn it, lets talk about taxes, we'll talk about that nucular stuff later, Joe Six Pack and I care about energy. I am a maverick."
Here's some interesting reading regarding the debate: http://www.factcheck.org/elect.....ebate.html
Update: I just got my passport in the mail. I am prepared for November. Republican elected - Moving to Denmark. Get out while you still can gosh darnit!
That photo is kinda scary. She looks like her jaw is about to unhinge so she can take down a whole cheesecake and a bottle of Diet Coke.
I haven't seen anything like it since Sally Struthers was on TV collecting food for herself, I mean hungry kids.
The real question is: Is SS off of her meds, or did she finally get the correct dosage?
Thanks for that link, fluffy.
@kittenpaw - me too!! IRA in the family.. just a fact of life. cant control your family
Can you imagine the flack if Barack and Michele Obama had shown up on stage at a rally with 5 kids, one of them a pregnant teenager? All hell would have broken loose. Also going undiscussed is the tape of the Nigerian preacher/witch doctor casting witches and demons from Sarah Palin, her husband's membership in the Alaska Independent Party, one of it's goals is to make Alaska an independent country. Their members do not hesitate to declare their hatred for America. This woman had everything for the "debate" completely memorized and she spouted it off like someone on speed. It was all very well memorized and rehearsed, and totally lacking in substance. Well, gall dang and darn it I'd like to give a shout out to Palin and her posse - as soon as Barak Obama is elected president, you can return to your igloo in Alaska and keep tryin' to turn Alaska into an independent country from the U.S. Good riddance.
Whoo who Woody! You go! I agree with you. Even when Palin and McCain lose, it's a sad day in our history that we'd pick one of the Hee-Haw girls to run for Vice President. Never again, will I say, "we can't find anyone more stupid than George W!"
BTW, I have a few nice little hit pieces on my web site at: http://pixels2picture.typepad.com/ with more to come. Palin is an embarrassment.
It's time for the talent portion. Get out your flute, bitch.
I heart you, stopthemadness.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is incapable of rational or unbiased thought… proved once again by her contention that Palin won the debate. She didn't totally lose it but that's not winning it. I know 3/4 of the states are "red" but shee-it, aint everyone sick of a Prez (or VP) that talks like someone out of the Dukes of Hazzard. It's called ENGLISH (okay even "American" English) but seriously can't they take elocution lessons? Constant use of Ya betcha, Darn right etc just makes a politician look less smart than a 5th grader.
stoney, i love how angry you are.
cereally.
em, aw, shucks. i'd be blushing, but i'm black and well, i've just never been able to blush successfully.
I Agree Fiona. It's almost like she's trying to be one of those ol' good southern boys! It comes off really phony on her. I can't stand it.
Sherri didn't want to answer the question. How ironic!!
The point Elizabeth was trying to get Sherri to understand is that Obama doesn't answer questions directly. All he knows how to say is he's looking out for the middle class. He has yet to tell people exactly how he plans to do. He wants you to believe he's going to screw over the upper class, but he'll never do that because he knows our economic system would never survive. He has you all duped.
Please people, just vote for Obama. America's enemies put a lot of hard work into getting one of their own with no experience into the Presidential race. You damn conservatives are going to ruin it.
UpChuck: Ignorant comments like that will get McMaverick/McIdiot elected & all Americans in more trouble than we are currently in. Thank you for reminding me why I'm voting for Obama!!

WELCOME BACK!!!
We've missed you so. It's good to have your brand of trollness among us again with your latest spew of falsehoods and condescension.
Let's break it down:
"Sherri didn't want to answer the question. How ironic!!
The point Elizabeth was trying to get Sherri to understand is that Obama doesn't answer questions directly. All he knows how to say is he's looking out for the middle class.

Correct grammar and spelling = 2 points (I would have given you 6 points, but you seem to have left a sentence incomplete with "how he plans to do…". Quite disappointing.)
Use of absolutes like "all", "exactly", and "never" to emphasize your self-righteousness = 2 points
Generalities (glittering, rational, or otherwise) used in every sentence = 2 points
Bald-faced lie-telling = 4 points
CONGRATULATIONS, "kit"!!! You've scored a perfect 10 out of 10 troll points!!! You've earned the day's BEST SCORE!!!
We are quite delighted for you. Please tell the kind folks at the RNC boiler room that we are so proud of your misinformation and for the wasting of our time.
Hope to hear from you again soon!
#32, "UpChuck":
Smells like you farted on this thread.
..
Let's all say bad things about China. The Chi-comm government trolls are MUCH more entertaining tham these nearly incoherant crypto-fascist Republicans.
Here, I'll paly troll:
Don't betray your race. Vote Obama.
Is THAT how that's supposed to work?
..
David Hauslaib sounds like a terrorist name to me…
Are you a terrorist?
