(Newser) – Whoopi Goldberg unloaded on guest Glenn Beck on The View today over an alleged fabrication involving Amtrak and reserved seats, the Orlando Sentinel reports. “You were a lying sack of dog mess,” Goldberg told the Fox News personality. Barbara Walters said she and co-host Goldberg did not have reserved seats, and scolded Beck for saying they did. “You are an investigative reporter,” she said. “No, I’m not,” Beck replied.

“You’re a reporter,” Walters continued. No, “I am a commentator,” Beck said. “I commentate on life.” So, “you never check any facts you’re giving out to the public?” Walters rejoined. “Of course I do,” Beck responded. Walters then mentioned Beck’s on-air crying, to his amazement. “I’m on the quintessential chick show and you’re making fun of me for crying,” he protested.

Wow.... lot's of angry close-minded people here. I thought the story was amazing because of the ambush. Maybe they don't like Beck, obviously, but what a way to treat a guest. They never listened to his side that he was "told" the seats were reserved for very special people. No matter what you think of Glenn Becks politics... he is a talent that has gone from zero skyward because he touches people.

Whoopi Goldberg is both DUMB and BUTT UGLY. Neither has anything to do with her skin color. Chairman Barry's wife is just a socialist who wears $450 sneakers to serve slop to homeless people.

No one with class would write a book outing a lover from an affaiir many years ago who was an esteemed public servant with children and grand children, just to try to make the best seller list and pad her bank account.
