Wow ...looks like Babs has had some more face work done. She's got a bit of drooping on the one side of her mouth. Maybe a mini stroke during the heart procedure. :0

Cranky Barbara Walters should not go back on the View. She always acts so righteous and mean spirited. Granted Sheri Shepard needs to tone it down and is more raucious than ever since Barbara has been gone but Whoopie keeps a grip on her.......

The biggest joke is you. You're too stupid to realize how much of your so-called "tax" dollars are already going to health care. You're also too stupid to see the connection between health care and defiicit. Moron.

At least the top 5% are working so why shouldn't they get a cut? We have to now cut the freebies that we give to FREELOADERS who don't work or pay taxes. Cut the child tax credits. We shouldn't be paying for big families.
