Kathy Griffin guest host
The first segment focused on non-political banter. American Idol…Sotheby’s auctions of over-priced artwork…$16,000 dresses that Barbara won’t pay for… Good, funny commentary is what the View should be all about.
On to a phone call received by Barbara from Paris’ mom, Kathy Hilton. She is going through a living you know what and wanted Barbara to share the following:
“We can only hope that something positive will come from all of this. Hopefully young people who look up to people like Paris will learn from this.”
Barbara was impressed with the strength of the statement but I think Griffin hit the nail on the head: If the Free Paris T-Shirts were selling, she’d be singing a different tune.
Why is Paris Hilton a role model? What has she ever done in her life that wasn’t based on her name? This girl is an out of control train.
Elisabeth suggested that perhaps parents should attempt to discipline their children before the justice system has to do it for them. Excellent point! Maybe Paris should have been put on a much shorter leash.
Lesson to parents (and grandparents) setting up trust funds: don’t give them any money until they have finished college and landed a real job.
