Brave dissenter Barry Mainilow (!) refuses to appear on The View |
2007-09-18 |
TMZ has learned that UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that it's not Barry who's writing this song -- in fact, "View" producers pulled the plug on Manilow's performance when his people demanded that he appear on the show without Elisabeth. Manilow has in fact performed on the show twice before -- both last year -- when Hasselbeck's been co-hosting. [span class=moonbat] First the Dixie Chicks, and now Barry Manilow. More KKKrushing of dissent in neoKKKon AmeriKKKa! [/span] The editors of National Review are having fun with this story. Kathryn Lopez: Does he know that he has fans (ahem) who have the same "dangerous" views as Elizabeth Hasselbeck? Come on, man, let's head down to the Copa, where we can all get along (well, unless you're Tony...). John Podhoretz: If I were Elisabeth Hasselbeck, I would refuse to sit next to Barry Manilow. After all, "I Write the Songs" has officially been categorized as a war crime by the Fourth Geneva Convention. Here at home, even Wayne LaPierre supports legislation to declare "Mandy" an assault weapon deserving of a complete ban. This is not to say that Manilow hasn't been of service to his country, albeit inadvertently. Unconfirmed reports claim that Abu Zubaydah would not break, even with a bullet in his groin, until they played 15 seconds of "I Can't Smile Without You," whereupon he cried like a little girl. And finally, Mark Steyn gilds the lilly: His name was Barry |

#11 Barry's not washed up - many Amers are still waiting for more songs from him. His music are mood-setting and good for when you want your babe close to you. |

#9 The View should honor Manilow's wishes and remove Hasselbeck for one episode - and replace her with Ann Coulter. |

#7 OK OP, now you have crossed the line; don't ever confuse Barry with C& W; he has never had to sing about his best friend's girl losing her job so he looses his pick up, and the dog...... |

#6 #4 Barry who? Oh, he is still alive? Posted by: DarthVader 2007-09-18 16:00 My sentiments exactly, Darth, but maybe I've gotten him confused with some whining, voiceless "country and western" singer. |

#3 electric duck blower Kenny G Priceless, USN, Ret.! In reality, Kenny has a superb lip but his choice of material amounts to nothing better than elevator music. Now that he is so "successful", neither does Kenny have the excuse of acquiescing to his producer's guidance in terms of track selections. Essentially, he is the Thomas Kinkade of music. SSDD, repeat ad nauseam. If this musical As to Manilow, only the cultural nadir known as disco ever could have made us sink so low that anyone might possibly look up to him. |

#2 Now if only we can get that electric duck blower Kenny G. to do the same thing, it will be a perfect day ( everything he plays sounds like the AFLAC duck going thru a shredder) |

#1 Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Threat or Menace. Again, "The View" is one of the reasons I appreciate that I've got the day job... |
