| #15 Many no longer work. They live off of rerun residuals. |

| #14 In my ideal world, they've had their bodies partly surgically altered into flesh and steel automatons programmed to clap and laugh at Trump jokes, their jaws and limbs powered by servos and hydraulics, their brains made to live for decades. In all fairness Dron I was envisioning them making those shoes with hollowed cheeks and eyes blazing with hunger... but I didn't want to go that far. Until you lapped me. |

| #13 I really don't care what anyone from Hollywood says. They aren't any smarter than average. They are good at repeating words that someone else wrote, and faking emotions when told to. In some cases they are better looking than average (Whoopi is an exception.) |

| #12 Suggestion to Whoopie and other Hollywood Actors. You are an "ACTOR", not a Politician. So stick what you do best it will save you time to earn more $$$$ ACTING. Plus doing so you don't tick off and lose 40 to 50+% of your viewers shrinking your income. |

| #9 ...Whoopi - may I call you Whoopi? Thank you so much. Here's the thing: I actually understand that acting at your level can be a tough, mentally and physically demanding thing. For a month or two. At most, and you spend a lot of that time in a makeup chair, or trailer, or standing around waiting for someone else to do something. I'm 62 years old. I've already retired once, I have Type I Diabetes, I've had a heart attack, and my wife is 17 years younger than I am. Yet somehow, my backside gets up five days a week at 0415 and gets into work where I walk/run a mile or two a day until 1630. Unless of course, some utterly clueless customer/driver wanders in at 1629, in which case I get to hold their hand until they figure things out. The point I'm trying to make here is that - frankly - you don't work that hard. It was great seeing you for about five minutes on ST:Picard, but that could not have possibly been more than a few hours work for you, and I no doubt assume you got a handsome paycheck for playing a beloved character for those few hours. I work a minimum fifty hours a week, and will until I retire on February 16, 2027. Working past that is becoming increasingly unlikely as my physical condition gets more and more worn. You on the other hand can work one day a week and make more than I do in ten years, much less anything else. Keep that in mind, Ma'am. Best Regards, Mike |

| #7 Now, now. Even Disney wouldn't keep Whoopi's show on the air if it wasn't getting the ratings. The sad fact is that millions of soft headed, gullible women tune in to this poison every weekday morning. No, it can't be very hard work for her but, yes, she does the work. She'd fail miserably if she had to wait tables or clean hotel rooms. No way could she stay on her feet long enough to work as a clerk in a department store. She might be able to hack a gig in an HR department. But what she does best is to run her mouth and say the things that Disney wants her to say. |

| #6 In my ideal world the cast of the view are indeed working hard... inside of a cement walled factory, making shoes for poor children or some other socially productive activity. Forever more unheard and forgotten by all. One can dream. |

| #4 The Diplomad had a term for U.N. people who would swoop in at the end of a crisis, push everyone else aside, and start taking credit, skimming off the charity, (and abusing whatever the crisis was). I believe he called them the 'Vampire Vulture Elite' which pretty much matched them. We need a similar label for Hollywood Elites like Whoopie. 'Fabulous Phoney Elite'? |

| #3 She thinks she's an oppressed class, but she's an elite who sneers at the rest of America. That's why she's freaking out - it's been pointed out to her, she doesn't like it, and suddenly she's pretending she's the part of Hollywood that works on sets and operates equipment. She couldn't be further from them. Keep hitting these people with the "elite" label. It's working. |
