JK, Didn't your mama ever teach you " If you don't have anything nice to say; say nothing at all. It's called the View because it gives us a chance to hear different views on topics of the day. I don't really care for Elizabeth's views; however, I respect that she has her opinions and a fourm in which she can covey them. One day she my change my point of view which inturn may change my life. Keep in mind that we all live here in the world and we should all do our part for the better. Summer's comments ( and I respect her ) were a bit insensitive at this time for the greving. She is not a specialist on the subject. She should be able to go on the View, after the hipe, and set her story strait with factual based backup. I hope for your sake that you work on your open-mindedness and look at your own house before you go spouting ugliness into the world. The World would be a much better place. Thank you and Have a Great day.

My words actually, JK!

Well said JK....Had u noticed when others say anything,she's off 2 the side shaking her head yes or no...or making these grins like everyone else is crazy...Alot of my critisizm comes from overkill of watching the same personalities everyday...let's face it...they "all grate" on our nerves over time..Next is,Joy will now b more of an authority on everything cuz of her upcoming talk show....

Whoopi's job is mediator, which means her answers are meant to lead into the next topic of conversation! It's not that her opinions are the best or anything like that. In fact she was hired for that position. Think about it!

What Whoopie LOOKS like is not the topic - Suzanne's comment is. Suzanne has been in the media for decades - and she has encouraged the media's attention to proclaim how misunderstood she has been after making similar thoughtless comments, i.e. the "Three's Company" mess. Now she says she had no idea this guy was a reporter??? Did he introduce himself as the Pope? Has she gone crazy??? It appears to be just another piss poor attempt to worm her way out of responsibility for another thoughtless statement. It won't be her first. One thing I can say about Suzanne for sure - she takes no responsibility for her own mistakes but expects everyone else to take responsibility for theirs, i.e. her movie exposing her father as an abuser alchoholic while her mother stood by & watched. Wise up Suzanne. You have no clue what Patrick did to try to save his life, which means you're clueless.

I think Whoopi is very smart and down to earth,, and brings a good mix to the view,, I think she was commenting out of compassion,, re: Sommers comment Sommers was out of line and insensitive.
We all have lost someone a loved one to natural causes, and or illness, it is even harder to have watched that someone fight the hardest battle of thier life. Then to hear someone comment on how they could have fought differently,, is just wrong.

She should have thought before speaking.

As far as being in movies lately ,, what about Joy, Barbara, Sherrie no movies I know of and that Elizabeth now that's rude. Glad she is gone right now, makes better viewing of the show.

you are absolutely correct JK,Whoopie has an attitude problem.It's like she is living in a fantacy world that she knows better than anybody well, though!.

Somers knows exactly what she is talking about. I believe there's no harm whether she was talking to a reporter or not. Her comment was not distastful ut just pure facts. For the most part, chemo does kill people before the cancer does. That's just the facts. Whoppi was just digging for attention!

Sorry, but if you read any of Suzanne's books, you'd know that her cures are way wacked out. She's into a lot of very weird concoctions that most in the medical profession see as voodoo. What might have worked for her, would not work for most people. Yes, she can have her opinion, but to spout that stuff about a person she knows nothing about, and about his cancer, was wrong. Whoopie was totally correct that Suzanne should keep her mouth shut and I applaud Whoopie for having the balls to tell her off.

The reason why pancreatic cancer ALWAYS kill is that the pancreas is buried deep in our abdomen, covered by our stomach and small intestine. The only reason pancreatic cancer is discovered is that the person complains of abdominal pain which could be anything. CAT Scan shows the pancreatic mass and at this stage, the cancer cells have migrated to other parts of the body. Our breasts are out there and we can actually palpate for masses.There is no routine screening for pancreatic cancer; there is routine screening for breast cancer depending on the family health history. Sommers should keep her thoughts to herself because she doesn't know anything about pancreatic cancer and the location of pancreas. If she did, she would not have said anything.

My husband has an ileostomy & cannot be tested in the usual way for colon or pancreatic cancer. There is a blood test however which he takes every year CA19-9 which is one of the "markers" for these cancers.

Johnnnnniesss You have a problem all of your own...What man actualy watches the View? Most all men hate those shrews!! Especially Whoopi and Joy!! LOL you need to realize you have problems before you go attacking others.Actually Suzanne knew him many many years before Whopper was in the Ghastly movie with him.STFU since you didn't even know that!!!

Oh . . . did Joy Bahar bleach her hair???

Oh goodness . . . did Joy Bahar bleach her hair?

Yes, take Hasselbeck off and just move it to MSNBC where it will fit right in.

Jenny, if most don't like Joy and Whoopi is because they are right many of the times. As far as men watching the View they do. Also, just because Suzanne met Patrick before Whoopi has nothing to do with how well Patrick and Suzanne knew each other. Whoopi and Patrick knew each other very well and you're the only one I know who calls Ghost a "ghastly" film?? That says a lot right there.

Yes,cudos!to Suzanne for alternative treatment! It isn't like she was implying that it be "taken" on a personal level directed at Patrick or any family member...maybe more of us should look more into alternative treatment, for a change, especially since it seems that most die from cancer rather than survive it. And as far as Whoop De Doo goes, maybe it's time for her to focus more on getting a "new" Doo! rather than "ALL UP" in everybody else' business...

You obviously have no actual education regarding medicine.
