Billy Hates That He Could Do a Full Time Blog on Sherri Shepherd's Ignorance

• Shepherd was criticized heavily after the September 18, 2007 broadcast of The View, in which she stated that she didn't "believe in evolution. Period." Co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked her, "is the world flat?" She first responded, "…I don't know" and expanded that she "never thought about it." Shepherd continued that it was more important to her that she thought about how she was "going to feed [her] child." Barbara Walters replied to Shepherd's defense of her scientific illiteracy by pointing out, "You can do both." However, Shepherd then went on to quote scripture.

• Similar criticism erupted after the December 4, 2007 broadcast of The View when, during a discussion initiated by Joy Behar about Epicurus, Shepherd attempted to assert that Christians existed in classical Greece, and that the Greeks threw them to the lions. When confronted on this point, she further claimed that "Jesus came first" (before Greeks and Romans) and stated, "I don't think anything predated Christians."

• In January 2008, Sherri Shepherd commented that gospel singer Shirley Caesar was "like a black Patti LaBelle" Her co-stars, seemingly perplexed by the comment, were all quick to inform her that LaBelle is also African American.

• Shepherd also garnered ridicule after admitting to never voting because she just "never knew the dates or anything"; she stated, "I've never voted for anything in my life."
