'The View' for Whoopi: Windy With a Chance Of Meatballs

"A public restroom is not a place for people to have sex," added Whoopi, for Babs's benefit.
A hideous amount of time was then spent discussing Leona Helmsley leaving $12 million to her dog, and discussing whether quarterback Michael Vick, who pleaded guilty last week to federal dogfighting charges, could have known better than to torture dogs.
From where he comes from, in the South, dogfighting isn't that unusual, Whoopi maintained. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback grew up in Newport News, Va.
"It's like cockfighting in Puerto Rico," Whoopi added. "There are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of the country."
"How about dog torture and dog murdering?" Joy asked.
For some people, dogs are sport, Goldberg said. Wave goodbye to all the dog-loving viewers of "The View."
Then, it was back to YouTube, this time to discuss the Miss Teen USA meltdown. You know, the video that burned up the Web, in which one of the competitors was asked why one-fifth of Americans can't locate the United States on a world map, and the chick responded:
U.S. Americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don't have maps and . . . our education like such in South Africa and Iraq and such, I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa, and should help the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.
Of course, during The Dark Rosie days, "The View" would not have dared to show that clip, because Donald Trump is an owner of the Miss Teen USA franchise, and Rosie would have launched into a tirade against Trump, and Trump would have called her a fat pig and then they'd have that whole public-relations mess on their hands . . . again.
Whoopi, on the other hand, had this to say:
Now, you know, this could have been one of two things. She could have just had a bad day. Or this is, in fact, who she is. But no one would have known about this . . . [only now] people are going to walk up and go, 'You're the idiot, really.' Because YouTube put it on there.
Much better!
And then, finally -- Danny DeVito, Whoopi's old pal who appeared on the show for her first day. DeVito famously went on "The View" last November, and appeared completely fractured, which he said at the time was the result of partying late into the night and drinking too many Limoncellos.
During the course of his interview yesterday, all that Whoopi managed to get in over the cacophony of her colleagues was:
I just wanted to know. What is [Limoncello]?
and
It smells like a lemon.
No kidding.
