The Better View

Truth is, we're intrigued when women get together and converse. But while topics are sure to include the latest pedicure paradise and OB-GYN horror stories, we can't help but imagine talks of consensual foursomes (three girls, of course) and NBA salary cap debates popping up. And that's why morning-TV coffee klatsch The View is a snooze. Barbara Walters and her gals lack caffeine-powered topics. Playing executive producers, KING dismissed boring Barb and her crew and cranked up this show, Maury Povich-style.

They're about to offer you a view to a thrill.

Families are being torn apart, and there are bodies in the street, and it's just not cool. Not cool.”
Tamala Jones
CRUSADE: THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION

"Why can't we pick up some stones like they do in Israel and Saudi Arabia, and just throw ‘em at the nigga?! Meanwhile, the only sister that we have running the country is fucking Condoleeza Rice. I say what Dave Chappelle said—send her down to the Mexicans.”
