‘The View’ co-host is dumb. This just in: the sky is blue

Apparently someone called Sherri Shepherd is one of an ever-changing roster of hosts for morning TV show ‘The View’. And recently, when Whoopi Goldberg asked her on-air if she though the world is flat, she replied that she did not know.

Quite why anyone is surprised that she’s an idiot is beyond me. She co-hosts The View, ferchrissakes, and with Whoopi and Barbara on board, she’s relegated to fulfilling one of the chairs reserved for ‘hosts who will say dumb things the big-name hosts can pick on them for.’
She also apparently retracted her statements today, claiming she was too nervous and confused to answer the question properly. Which also makes sense. I mean, she’s only the most frequent guest on Ellen’s talk show, and veteran of two or three sitcoms and several movies into the bargain. People with that much experience frequently get too nervous to answer very simple yes-or-no questions that fourth-graders would call you retarded for asking, I’m sure.

Of course, stupid though she might seem, she is a little more intelligent than people have given her credit for: she knew this was going to happen.
“Now just keep praying, that every morning I don’t put my foot in my mouth – but if you know me, it’s bound to happen.”

And she can look on the bright side: it’s not the stupidest view that has ever been expressed on The View – not since Rosie O’Donnell hosted last year, anyway.
