Barbara Walters is probably the most qualified, she's a co- producer. She's one of those "go soft on the subject" interviewers. I remember her asking this question of someone several years ago. "If you were a tree what tree would you be?" She's been accused of deliberately manipulating ratings by shedding tears.
I pretty much love Whoopi Goldberg in any other context, I think she has enormous talent but... Her role on the show is moderator. I'm pretty sure mainstream America would see her as a liberal.
The others are the younger, Christian, right wing, ex Surviver contestant (Elizabeth Hasslebeck) and Joy Behar, another comedian.
I would have been interested to see the show when Rosie O'Donnell was on it, she loudly condemned Bush, and argued with Hasslebeck, and was sacked.
I've never been a great fan of Michael Moore, I like his sense of humour and some of the stunts he pulls are very funny. To my mind he tends to really oversimplify but then I look at who he pitches to... Have you noticed he never says the socialist word? It's so weird that he has to pussyfoot around it. I am being too hard on him.
More Sleazak will be good! Oh, ellen is a gigantic dork. She's got a way of doing light, enjoyably fluffy interviews that leave everybody feeling good. We've been getting flashes of her when there isn't a golf or cricket game. So, I may see it.
You'd better get on twitter and tell *him* that. We still call the dish (sausages and potato etc) bangers and mash in pubs here. He's currently having another run in with the queen.
