Lisa Ling challenges Kate Gosselin

Oct 05, 2009- Permalink

Lisa Ling co-hosted on The View this morning and the ladies (or “girls” as Kate Gosselin kept calling them) took a phone call from the opportunistic TV mom.

The call was about her estranged husband Jon taking over $200,000 from their joint account. Kate also commented on how the show’s legally issue hiatus was upsetting her eight children as they were now missing out on yet another all expenses paid trip to New York.

Apparently Ling hadn’t had a sip of the Gosselin Kool-Aid — Kate recently co-hosted The View — and said twice that there must be other ways for Kate to make money without putting her children on TV, even if it was just during the time of the divorce.

Barbara Walters abruptly thanked Kate and ended the call, derailing Ling’s criticism of the show. Perhaps while dealing with her sister’s imprisonment in North Korea, Lisa forgot how to kiss the backsides of people famous for nothing.
