Just when you thought Elisabeth had to be the stupidest thing on television.
Sherri was also carrying on yesterday about how WHITE Christians don't name their children Jesus (after the discussion about the teacher in Sudan who named a teddy bear Mohammad). Where she was going with that, I had no idea.

In that clip, Whoopi is giving her an out by saying, "On Paper," over and over again. I think Sherri will say in the coming days that her there was nothing before comment is tied to her beliefs of Jesus being there from the beginning of time and that of course she knows there were previous religions and cultures as there are many religions and cultures now. At least I hope she will spin it that way, but from the clip, she was just not processing what the others were saying and she showed her ignorance. I wish someone would tell her that when you are silent no one knows how dumb you are. Maybe that can be a topic one day soon. Maybe Barbara can bring it up.
I'm with you Swanflake. Who and/or what does she think the Old Testament is about? She should stick to sitcoms only.

Where she was going with that, I had no idea. I don't understand her point with that. Mohammad is a very popular name, throughout history and even today. Was she trying to say the name Mohammad is sacrilegious? I'm sure some white Christians somewhere have named their children Jesus, though. And there are many Spanish speaking parents with children named Jesus. The only thing I can conclude is she's dumb, or at the very least doesn't think too much before she speaks.

Oh the way she took the discussion about that Sudanese teacher was awful. The point that Sudanese law is stupid and savage was completely lost on her. She could only think that the teacher should've known better.
She's also so pathetic during the food segments. She overestimates how funny it is that she's fat and black and thinks that shoveling fatty food into her mouth while saying "Mmm, ooh girl, dis is so good" is hilarious every time.

Sounds like she's a slightly less vile Star Jones?

I think what SS meant (although she seemed incapable of articulating her point) was that, in her experience, the name "Jesus" is not uncommon in families whose origins are Mexican or Central or South American. I don't think she meant it as a brown -vs- white issue.

When Star Jones shoveled the food into her mouth in the food segments, the joy it gave her was genuine. Sure, she had to fake it with a lot of other things--her marriage, her weight loss, her inspirational self-help autobiography--but when it came to the joy of binge eating, that was all real. Sherri Shepherd will never be able to have half the foodgasm that Star Jones could have.

She must be really bad if everyone is waxing nostalgic about Star Jones.
That nothing-predates-Christians clip was HILARIOUS. Oh my god. The stupid. It burns.
