On her season of the Real World, there was something charming and cute about her, in that "Oh, she's so adorable, she'll grow out of this weirdo conservative phase" way.

it was almost delightful to watch her try and find her place in the world.

Now she's just plain scary. She exists this way, completely bonkers and wackadoo.

I remember her from the RW and the first incarnation of the RW/RR challenge, which is how she met Sean. She was ultra-conservative, ditzy, judgmental, vain, and spoiled. I see that after 15 years and 6(!) kids she hasn't changed at all. You would think that with all that she has seen, done and all the awesome people she got to meet she would have become a more well-rounded person by now. Nope. She's still clueless.

I think the only comment that needs to be made here is that this woman lost an audition to Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

Supporting the legality of abortion is NOT a radical position. I'm pretty sure radical doesn't mean what she think it does, namely, any position she doesn't agree with.

Rachel has been showing poor judgment from her decision to BE on a "The Real World," to having some sort of sick romance with that homophobic dirtiness named "Puck," to being on "Road Rules," to still opening her fucking mouth...

And I love how all the Obama critics are jumping on him winning as a bad thing. If he saved a child from a burning building, these idiots would find a way to be bitter and negative about it.

You know, I would love to ask her what her plans are for all the babies that would be born unwanted if she outlawed abortion. I have yet to hear any anti-choice person address this. I know it may seem trite, but it's a valid question. I asked a guy I work with and he had no answer. He is a cool guy but he's WAY down with JC and is super anti-abortion so I was genuinely curious to hear this from someone so passionate about it. He just said that he hoped that god would provide for them. Really? REALLY? I will forever be surprised at these people who are so very concerned with a stranger's fetus but seem to have nothing to offer them once they're born.

There is no care and compassion in this statement. There is ample evidence in the history of this country and in the present in other countries of what happens when legal abortion is not available. It's the same everywhere. Women suffer and women die and men get to choose how much support they want to give.

@willwriteforfood: Word up! He's a generally cool guy but this just floored me. Maybe if these yahoos spent less time making white cross graveyards or screaming at women going about their business and more time helping the kids that need help, I'd give their opinion a second thought. But no.

Hey! We aren't all lumberjacks (and jills) up here. I'm from Ashland (where this pair lives), and it's always a trip to see them in the national news.

There are two reasons why she is making the roungs right now. Her hubby has just launched a campaign against Rep. Dave Obey (Chairmen of the House Appropriations Committee and pretty much an awesome guy). Rachel also just released her "first" book, "Stay Home, Stay Happy: 10 Secrets to Loving At-Home Motherhood".

I still remember how wide eyed and judgmental she was in RWSFO when Pedro was telling the roommates about having AIDS, etc. She said something to the effect of "i guess questioning things makes me...the bitch."

Good to know she hasn't changed in 16 years. Ugh.

Also, she married a world champion lumberjack who is now the district attorney in the county containing Hayward, WI. To calm myself, I am imagining that her five children are currently singing about cutting down trees, skipping and jumping, and enjoying the pressing of wild flowers. They put on women's clothing, and hang around in bars.

They are lumberjacks and they're ok.
They sleep all night and they work all day.

Rachel, you are not qualified to lend your observations on The View because of your ridiculous analysis. I come from a country that is pro-life, but is sadly nowhere near peaceful.

I, on the other hand, am qualified to judge you merely due to the fact that your only credential is having been on Real World. Therefore, I have one up on you.

Someone should let Miss Crazypants know that Kissinger, a notorious warmonger, won the Peace Prize as well. Thus... someone far less qualified.
