Apparently, ABC wants it's viewers to know it's good to be dangerously ignorant. If you're really stupid and have no problem letting people know just how little you know, than does ABC have a job for you.
From foxnews.com:
The new co-host of "The View," Sherri Shepherd, insisted Tuesday that Christianity was older than ancient Greece, and even Judaism
When confronted with this error, she insisted that Christians were around in Ancient Greece, and they threw them [the Christians] to the lions. Also, nothing predates Christianity.
The biggest problem with this is that if she really thinks nothing predates Christianity, than she obviously doesn't even know the history of Christianity. How can you be a Christian and not know the basics of your religion? I guess you can if you're an idiot. If this was the first time this woman had said something completely idiotic, maybe I could chalk it up to being nervous in front of the camera. But it isn't. This is the same woman who, earlier this year, didn't know if the world was round or flat.
Go ahead, read that again if you need to. Don't dwell on it, though. Your ears will start to bleed after 4 minutes or so.
And let's not forget about Rosie's tenure on The View. While on a 9/11 conspiracy kick, Rosie was amazed that the the fire in the World Trade Center could melt metal. Her quote went something like - "For the first time in history, fire metal melted." It'd be funny if she wasn't being serious.
Thank you, ABC, for making me waste precious drinking time on Repeal Day ranting about the idiots you decide to put on the air. Oh, and by the way, what's up with the obsession with commentators / reporters with speech impediments? Barbara Walters? Lou Holtz? Do you know how painful it is to listen to these people?
