It is her way of saying something and I usually agree with what she is "saying".

Me, too.

Me, three.

Four.

But, most of the time - not all.

Tomorrow is the big farewell show, I am recording it as I did today.

Yes it's tomorrow.

Sophia.... I think Whoopi is just rude.... she knew this day was coming.... she could put her big girl panties on and let Babs enjoy it.... nobody likes someone rolling his/her eyes.

Why on earth are they spending the whole week and a night time special singing Barbara's praises? At one time she was a competent journalist. It's been decades since she really did interviews about important things. The way they are carrying on you'd think she'd found a cure for cancer. I can see a one program tribute but a true journalist would be embarrassed by all of this nonsense.

I'll hand it to BW that she's been around for quite a while and has certainly made her mark on broadcast TV (most notably in the pop culture arena), but there were contemporary female journalists who did even more for today's crop of women.

Because she paved the way for women in journalism and the media to be taken seriously and respected.

That's an incredible legacy, and the one that means the most to her.

I agree with you completely. It is a wonderful legacy and one she should be proud of.

What specifically did Whoopie roll her eyes about? I didn't see it.

LOL there were other women (serious journalists, BTW) who "paved the way" for today's journalists.

Buh-bye Babs.

Maybe she USED to be a good, journalist (impartial), but she has certainly shown her true colors the last few years. I rarely used to watch The View (& never, now), but I did see the show with John McCain when he was running for president.

I'm not a fan of his, but I couldn't believe how he was treated on that show. Miss Babs was a disgrace! She talked down to him, turned away from him, & made faces. I couldn't believe her childish behavior.

I've never been a fan of hers, but I can't stomach her now. Blech.

Barbara was interviewed by a local anchorwoman. She was so sweet and nice to the woman and paid her a lovely complement about her work. Made me see Barbara in a different light.

I had GMA on for a bit this AM. Every time she was on, she repeatedly promoted her special this evening, to the point where I finally gave up and changed the channel. Nothing humble about her! I wish her a happy retirement, however. Working until her age is quite an accomplishment.
