Asshat Of The Week

Kate Gosselin was a guest co-host on The View this week, and it caused me to wonder about a couple of things:

[1] what does one have to do to be a guest host on that show? and

[B] How can I get there?

Then, as I watched, I grew more and more annoyed at Kate Birthed Eight. I grew annoyed every time she called herself a single mother, because I don't think of her as a single mother for a variety of reasons.

First, while she is a mother who is single, she is not raising those children alone. She has a husband who apparently watches the kids 50% of the time, so if anything, she is half a single mother, or a single mother at half time but that sounds too much like a sports thingy.

Second, I don't know too many single mothers, who are raising their children on their own without the help of ex-spouses and babysitters, who can slip into a designer dress and dash off to do The View. Those women are too busy working two jobs to feed their children.

Third, she continues to mutter about "my children." They aren't your children, Kate. They are Jon's children, too. Every time you open your yap and say "my children" you are denying the very existence of their father, which is not being a good parent at all. Is he an ass? i couldn't care less. Did he cheat on you? Not my business. but he is the father of your children so quit using your passive-aggressive word games to minimize his influence.

If you want to be a good parent, Kate, get your ass off TV and do it. Lots of women do, and they don't bitch and moan in their trendy [read: ugly] haircut and designer outfits.

You truly make me sick.
