New "View" Co-Host Doesn't Know If the World Is Flat [VIDEO]

September 20, 2007

In this clever segment from Current TV, the parade of obnoxious ignorance on "The View" is addressed. The latest mind-boggling exchange occurred between comedian Sherri Shepherd and her other co-hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg. After refusing to accept evolution, (Huckabee, we've found you a running mate!), Goldberg asked Shepherd whether she thought the world was flat (trying to make a point about value of scientific evidence) and Shepherd claimed she didn't know and if her kids ever asked her she'd have to take them to the library to "look it up." Check out the video to your right for more.
