On The View this morning, Sherri Shepherd recounted her close call of almost missing the cutoff for registering to vote via absentee ballot for the election in November. (Shepherd resides in New York, but is a California resident.) And apparently this is the first time that Sherri will be voting...ever! Having turned 18 in 1985, the now-41-year-old has missed out on the past five presidential elections because she "never knew the dates or anything." She said it was important to vote in this one, though, because otherwise, she wouldn't have a right to complain on The View about whomever is elected for an entire year. (She probably meant to say "four years.")

That chick is definitely a few bricks short of a hacienda.
Why is this chick on television? Why?
Jeeebus. Why is she on this show, again?
She is retarded.
Inexcusable.
@blackbirdfly: "Didn't know the dates."
Yeah, because it's not like they publicize general elections or anything.
Remember that old SNL skit where Cameron D. was Debbie and the View ladies trapped her in a sack with a wild racoon?
I would not be opposed if they did that to Sheri.
She is just mind blowingly dumb apparently.
I don't remember her being this stupid when she auditioning...well played Sherri.
Gross.
I can't stand her. In more interesting news, the governor of KS just endorsed Obama.
@LadySkittlehattington: WHAAAT?
@BeAgrestic: The writers strike is killing me. SNL has had so much to work with the past few months. Writers come back!
Do you think the producers helped her get registered just so she wouldn't sound like a complete ignoramus for the next 4 (gulp) years? Oh wait, they obvs LOVE that she sounds like a a complete ignoramus.
Add this to the incredibly long list of reasons that she should have her mouth taped shut. Permanently.
Oh man, bless her heart. Bless her mildly retarded little heart.
I suppose not remembering the dates have something to do with raising her kids or whatever?
What DOES Sherri Shepherd use her brain for? Biology dictates that she MUST actually have one. Is she the most self-absorbed person on the planet or did someone replace her thoughts with a constant loop of "Little Spanish Flea" going off at all times?
Isn't election day the same day every year in November? Am I making that up?
Also, awesome still-shot of her.
Sherri Sheperd don't know about dates! The only dates she knows about is that nothing pre-dates Jesus. Srsly, the only date this bitch knows is 1 A.D.
@retrovertigo:
At this point, the only answer I will accept is that she is the only person who auditioned for the job.
What a waste of space.
@warmaiden: Always! First tuesday in November forever.
She seems like the type who thinks the husband should vote for the household.
Maybe one of us can call her and pretend to be the President of the American Voting Commission and tell her the date to vote has been changed. I think she'd buy it.
yeesh.
She can talk and talk, but all I hear is, "I am terrible."
Should someone as stupid as she is be allowed to vote? She just makes my head spin - I never thought anyone could be this fucking tardtastic and flaunt it every which way as if it were some sort of accomplishment. Love that screen shot, by the way. It pretty much says it all.
She didn't know the dates, but did know NKOTB lyrics.
@NefariousNewt: Well, the Weekly World News doesn't cover elections, and that's apparently where she gets her information.
I think it is fabulous that there is someone out there in the world like Sherri Shephard...she is so damn entertaining.
...I have voted in every election since I turned 18. I'm only 23, so that's not a lot, but sheesh.
@vanishingirl: She's a few crayons short of...a crayon. She's running a crayon deficit in my box.
I'm personally disappointed that my state's primary is today and it's closed and I can't vote because I'm not registered with a party (for a variety of reasons I'm not going into here. I'll discuss my feelings towards oral sex here, but not politics).
@LadySkittlehattington: What? Brownback?
@skinnybonejones: My word exactly. Morons like her shouldn't even be allowed to vote.
Maybe I'm giving The View too much credit, but I think it's a great concept and would be interesting with the right people - women of different ages and backgrounds intelligently discussing everything from pop culture to politics. So WHY do they keep Elisabeth and Sherri around? Are they appealing to The View's target audience? :(
wait, registering to vote, or registering to vote absentee? Because I might have to do that...also have to change my registration because I moved.
Sherri Shepard is dumb? I have to play the old 'Sun is hot' card, I fear.
Not shocking. I remember when I was going to vote for the first time--I had just turned 18, and as I was walking out the door to class I got a call saying that I was improperly registered. I have no idea how that happened as I just did it about a month ago when I got a new driver's licence. I wasn't allowed to vote unless I could get across town to sign something, and there was no way for me to.
I was pissed. This was also in Florida four years ago, so who the hell knows WHAT happened.
i'd say that it's nonvoters like this who ruin democracy for everybody--but then i realize that we're better off without her at the polls.
I don't understand why no one just instinctively slap the shit out of her as a reflex whenever something else stupid comes out her mouth?
You know like those youtube pranks when some teens try to scare their friend by jumping out of a garbage can right next to them and the friend, when startled, instantly turns, pops the prankster in the mouth before running off? Yeah, like that. Cause I'm definitely one of those whatthefuckisthat-? PAP! kind of people.
Given all the crazy that comes out of her mouth, I'm glad she hasn't ever voted before. And hope that instead of registering, she was actually signing up for Netflix or something.
@maggles: So true.
@SinisterRouge: After the first Monday. So if the first Tuesday is Nov. 1, it will be the NEXT Tuesday. Kinda complicated, but not THAT complicated.
@SinisterRouge: isn't it the first Tuesday after the first Monday?
@vanishingirl: HA. Love it.
So it's really that hard to forget to go vote on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November? Seriously you dumb bitch? I guess I would prefer she kept her registration the way it was.
I think this is grounds to send her to live in the universe of the Romanian abortion movie.
Where did this woman come from?
@JessicaLovejoy: hahahaha that would be so awesome. Who's trying it?
Oh, and am I more offended that Sherri Shepherd willingly didn't participate in democracy for 20+ years or more scared that she's apparently going to NOW?
@debbieglibson:
Yeah, I know what you mean. You kind of just want to coo "Yeah, I think it's fun to have opinions too" at the tv screen.
@carriepotter: Right? Like, Hasselbeck? Really? There are so many smart women out there. So so many. Intelligent, critical discourse on the view would do a service to the many folks in middle America whose only source of news and culture comes from these ladies and Oprah's book club.
Riddle me this, jezzies: which four women do you think would make the a better View lineup?
Margaret Cho needs to be in there somewhere.
That photo is crying out for the LOLCats treatment.
Like, "Invisible" something.
@BritneyCanadaWhore: Kathy Griffin should be allowed back. She cracks my shit up.
@TeenageGangDeb: Oh dear. That song will be running through my head for the rest of the day.
@KimberleeJ: Well, it's clearly an INVIZIBLE CHEEZEBURGER. The original!
@athertonmerriweather: GOD I know! I am dying to see Kristen Wiig take on Brits meltdown. I really miss the election commentary that SNL would spark, especially when it would mock the debates. I've got my fingers crossed that they will work out a deal in the next two weeks.
@BritneyCanadaWhore:
I'd be into Lisa Carver as a View panelist. Every talk show needs a former unapologetic teen prostitute.
@Pinkosaurus:
agreed.
@BritneyCanadaWhore: Yes, Margaret Cho for sure! Maybe Barbara Ehrenrich (spelled that wrong, didn't I?) as well? Sometimes I think she's a bit out there, but she would definitely bring some interesting views and intelligence to the table.
@TeenageGangDeb: I would be more pissed that she's starting NOW, but then again, I'm still not even sold on the whole "voting counts" thing. Damn Electoral College.
@SarahMC: Dude, the BF told me about the Sebelius endorsement either Sunday or yesterday, but I thought it was already made public and everything, (not, like, an insider tip). So why I was surprised to see that she was chosen to give the official Democratic response to the State of the Union Address, and surprised that it sounded so openly Obama-supporter-esque. Didn't realize she just formally announced it today. Eeenteresting...
@BeAgrestic: I'm just glad I have "A" Daily Show back. I'm still mad that they were off the air for as long as they were.
@LadySkittlehattington: That's a pretty big deal. One of the major reasons Gov. Sebelius was chosen to given the Democrat's response to the SOTU last night was because she hadn't endorsed a candidate yet. Too bad her endorsement decision was leaked yesterday, kind of makes the party look like it's behind Obama...
