I think I can say this without fear of contradiction:

Most of my readers do not watch The View.

Neither do I, dear reader. Neither do I.

But as a daily chronicler of mass imbecility, I come across clips from time to time.

The panelists were recently discussing who might be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024. Sunny Hostin spoke briefly about "DeathSantis." "I think he handled COVID miserably," she said. "I think he's a fascist and a bigot…Those are his good points."

She added, "I like Gavin Newsom because he's really pretty to look at."

So it's all right to be imprisoned from your home or cut off from normal social life if the person doing it is "pretty to look at" and insists that doing so is "scientific."

As for "DeathSantis" and handling COVID "miserably," I'll say this: opinions regarding how DeSantis governed these past two years have become an IQ test, and people like "Sunny Hostin" haven't scored too well.
