Leave it to the ladies of The View to somehow connect the dots between Amy Winehouse, anti-Semitic poets, and something Joy has termed "Restless Arm Syndrome." Following Amy's big night at the Grammys, a spirited debate broke out regarding the age old conundrum of whether or not artists should be publicly lauded if they also happen to be drug addicts. While we are thankful that those questions never get raised about bloggers, Hot Topics such as these are tailor made to bring out the best — and by best, we mean worst — in this Hasselbeck-less stable of bittys.

While Whoopi held steadfast on the pro side of the issue, the cons were represented by Babs and Sherri. Things get interesting for a bit while Whoopi and Sherri debated the various means of consuming marijuana (Whoopi to Sherri: "Have you ever smoked [pot] in a glass pipe?"), but when the floor gets turned over to Joy, the conversation suddenly and strangely turned toward the oeuvre of Ezra Pound. In what is surely Pound's first mention on daytime television this decade, Joy wants it known that it's okay to enjoy his poems despite the fact that he was a rampant anti-Semite. Alrighty then! Despite the fact that these four brainiacs never really got around to settling their argument (do they ever?), we can all rest assured knowing that no stoner was left unturned in this hot button debate for the ages.
