Momma stop embarrassing me!!!!!

Sometimes you see or read something that just makes your face flush. Well today I was tuning into “The View” when the announcer said one segment would be Sherri explaining how Tracey Morgan was ruining her life. I was going to stick around and watch but Whoopi is out sick again and sadly Joy is not enough to keep me tuned in.

Well even though I didn’t stick around I was a little intrigued to see how race embarrassment and general unfunny man Tracey Morgan was ruining his 30 Rock on screen wife’s life.

It seems that Tracey and Sherri live in the same Upper West Side building and last Wednesday morning while Sherri was at work taping the days View episode Tracey had a small electrical issue in his house. A light bulb in his fish tank blew out and while there was only a small fire which was quickly and easily put out, the smoke set off the apartments sprinkler and began to flood the apartment underneath.

Her son called her to tell her there was water seeping into their apartment thru the ceiling and her first response was “Oh baby get all my hair baby. I can’t live without my hair!”

Sherri has promised to forgive Tracey as long as he pays for the damage (I thought insurance did that?). But will any of us ever be able to forgive the two of them for being them?

Ann Coulter gets her hand spanked by single mom on the View!

Ann Coulter went on "The View " today and got her ass handed to her. One of her topics was how we incorrectly praise single mothers who are the cause of raising criminals and maladjusted children and being selfish while doing it. She also took a swipe at single mom Hollywood actresses who only have children to use them to propel her career.

Here is the full version




For those who's time is limited here is the final meltdown!

Is there such a thing as the Black Crusaders?

So as usual Elizabeth Hasselbeck was continuing to tote the party line on “The View” today. But that was not the news that I bring you today.

I wonder if maybe Tine Fey was on to something. In one of the first season episodes of “30 Rock” there is a story of show clown “Tracy Jordan” (played by real clown Tracy Morgan) going on the run from the “Black Crusaders”. The crusaders are a cabal of powerful black Americans that don’t take kindly to black people embarrassing the race in public.


Has life imitated art? Was Tina and company unknowingly onto something? Because it seems as though someone hemmed Sherri up in a corner somewhere and took her “out to the woodshed.” Now I am not saying she is a changed woman, but I am saying for the first time that I can remember she is involved and engaged in the conversation. She seems to be making sense and arguing her case. Could this be the beginning of a newer brighter Sherri Shepherd????

Sherri Shepherd..God looks out for children and fools

It took almost a year but today I finally figured out what role Sherri Shepherd plays on the View. It was so simplistic that I saw it but completely ignored it because it was just that obvious. Sheri is meant to represent the young black right above the ghetto (barley) girl.


The truth is there had been other times when the show presented evidence and I ignored it because I liked those particular guests. I mean I love to watch Clean House and Niecy Nash; she speaks to the little black girl that lives inside me. She came on the show and Sherri announced that they were good good girlfriends. I should have known then but I was busy trying not to paint Niecy with the same brush. I mean I have good good friends that embarrass me in public sometimes so I just don’t take them out. But today I could ignore it no longer.


Jennifer Hudson came on the show today and for once Sherri did not look like she was out of her element. She actually had something to contribute to the conversation, granted it was all sister girl conversation but you know what, good for her. It gets a little painful at times to see Sherri sit there in what looks like a seven year old stuck at the table while the adults are talking and she is the only kid for miles around.


Sherri has not had an easy time of filling the fifth chair at the View table. She has been called out (I don’t know if you can call it called out when you tell your own business) on her limited world view shaped mostly by her religious background and bad decisions made in her twenties.



She is not sure if the world is flat or round, but does promise to look it up when her son Jeffery needs the info, she is a devout believer in creationism so much so that her belief is “Before there was anything there was Jesus” and she is very much looking forward to the upcoming election as it will be the first time she has ever voted because she just never knew the dates or anything. She also once said that the gospel singer Shirley Cesar sound very much like a black Patti LaBelle. Oh Sherri, how you amuse us so……


Addendum…

So I was all set to post this blog I wrote yesterday and then Sherri was Sherri on “The View” today. Bill Maher was a guest on the show pushing his new movie “Religuous” when Sherri, believing there was finally something she was an expert at, decided she was an interviewer. Bill Maher challenged the validity of some of the stories in the bible stating that they completely went against logic. Sherri being born again (whatever that really means) admitted that the stories in the bible defied logic but were leaps of faith. She then asked Bill if he had ever talked to God. Well this is what happened…

Oh and please please pay special attention to Whoopi’s body language during the interview. You have to give it up to the Whoopster; she saves Sherri every time she gets in over her head.

Tuesdays Invitation!

Joy Behar was born and raised in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in New York. She is an actor, comedian, and writer. But is best known for 11 year stint on the view, she and Barbara being the only 2 left of the original host.

I have to admit until Whoopi joined the cast of “The View” last year I never really paid much attention to this show or the host, however as the most important election in American history looms closer and all talk turns to candidates the old adage has never been truer, Politics makes strange bedfellows. Joy has continued to demonstrate a mindset that comes close to my own, she has managed to fight my battles and make my points during the hot topics and rare is the white woman I find that can speak for me.


So Joy Behar, please accept this invitation to the Dinner party of the year. Your opinion, your veracity, and your big mouth are more than welcome!
