THAT is what I think the public airing accomplished that a mere Court could not. I think this brings home for him in a very real way just how asshole-ish he was. At least in this instance.
First, other than the use of the word "pig," I do not think the VM was that bad. You harp on the staighten you out language, but you are infering that he is going to beat the hell out of her. There has been no evidence he has ever done that. So, I conclude that if we took kids away from parents who speak harshly to them, I submit at least half of the kids in America would be in foster care. I also conclude more parent's should discipline their kids based on the brats I see running free in the mall.

Having said that, Ireland's apparent repeated disrespect of her father's set talk time is brattish behavior and she deserved to be called out by AB and Kim for it. If she did not want to talk to her father (and no one has said she did not) -- then she should have told her mother. Moreover, her mother, the adult, should have made sure her 11 year old daughter was there to answer the phone. I mean come on, who is the fukcing adult here

Finally, I highly doubt an 11 year old has the savy to leak that VM. Kim, on the other hand had every reason to and the wherewithall to do it.

But, you will never ever admit that Kim did anything wrong or could even possibly have done anything wrong -- and even if she did, any public humiliation of Ireland was worth it to bring this topic into general public discourse.

Anyway, last word is your's until we know more facts, which I think will be revealed on The View tommorow
