I'll be in "The View" audience tomorrow! (Thursday)

[npincus]

Not particularly noteworthy, but for the O'Donnell-Trump-Walters feud which is heating up, and titillating our dopey media (and dopes like me)!

A friend invited me to go- she got tickets from work. Well, I'll see if I can catch a vibe from the hosts, regarding their attitudes towards one another. I am most hopeful that I'll get a free gift! A car, perhaps? HAR HAR.

Feud-wise, here's the latest:

Trump fired off a scathing letter this morning to O'Donnell at her "View" office, blasting her and show co-host Barbara Walters.

<snip>

Then he went on the attack: The "article in today's New York Post indicates that you blew up at Barbara Walters for being a 'liar.' Actually, I don't blame you, but in fact she lied to both of us! After your maniacal and foolish rant against me two weeks ago, Barbara called me from her vacation (I did not call her) in order to apologize for your behavior."

Trump went on to claim that Walters tried to talk him out of taking revenge on O'Donnell and asked him to appear on "The View" to "patch things up."

He also said that Walters actually disparaged O'Donnell by telling him that "working with her is like living in hell" and "Donald, never get into the mud with pigs" and "don't worry, she won't be here for long."

After he described a reputed incident at Le Cirque restaurant two months ago, at which Trump claimed Walters told him not to "ruin my meal" by talking about O'Donnell, Trump ended the letter with a final jab: "Please give my warmest regards to Kelly!" He was referring to O'Donnell's partner, whose name, Kelli, he misspelled.



Now, Barbara's repsonse:

Barbara Walters struck back at Donald Trump on Wednesday during ABC's THE VIEW.

Transcript:

Rosie: Well -- he's at it again. How about that Barbara? You OK?

Walters: I'm OK, darling. You OK?

Rosie: I'm OK, too. We both OK? What can you say about that guy?

Walters: That poor, pathetic man.

Rosie: Yes! Sister-friend, give me a high-five!

Walters: He just can't let go. But we're moving on.

Rosie: The man is obsessed with me. And I'm happy to say, his show tanked.

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Will the show be taped and shown same day or next day?

Definitely report back! :D

(and how will we know it's you in the audience? Tell us what you'll be wearing...like a red carnation...or something! :hi: )

[npincus]

2. Since "The Feud" is happening in real time,

I think it's shown the same day.

Honestly, I've never watched it. My mom has- she's the one who told me about the free gifts! I'm going to bring my camera- I hope it doesn't get confiscated by security.

For sure, i'll report back! 'Enquiring' minds want to know!

tee hee

3. I stayed with my sick girlfriend yesterday

and we caught part of the View. I honestly do not see how people watch that show. They just sit there talking louder and louder at each other and interrupting each other. Rosie doen't seem to fit in on that show and neither does the cute soft spoken blonde.

4. Make a DU sign out of duct tape and wear it on your shirt!

5. This feud is getting hilarious...

6. I miss Meredith Viera

she seemed to inject some control into the proceedings.

7. oh phooey, it's great p.r. for all parties concerned.

it's probably some A&R guy's contrived gangsta-rap rivalry plot gone daytime.
