Not Carrie Fisher
I think she's become brain-damaged due to the drugs and alcohol in her system. She used to be smart-funny-crazy, now she's just crazy-crazy-crazy. Plus she hangs out with self-loathing gay Republican political hitmen. R. Gregory Stevens, the guy who OD'd on OxyContin and cocaine in her house was an acolyte of Karl Rove (and head of something called "the Bush-Cheney Entertainment Task Force," believe it or not. Guess the Force wasn't with him that night). Carrie described Stevens as a "dear friend." There is already one person on The View who loves Karl Rove's friends and that is one too many. They don't need another.
When I saw Donna Hanover's name I thought "Now that sounds interesting." In a presidential primary year where her ex-husband is a candidate, the idea of Hanover sitting right up there onstage every day seemed like a great idea. But you know, I bet that when push came to shove, Hanover would back off and refuse to discuss her marriage and divorce. That wouldn't be any fun at all.
Wanda Sykes sounds like the best bet to me. I love her on "Curb". She is good as a standup, but she is far better when she has a foil to bounce off of. But I don't know if the women of The View could live up to being on a panel with Wanda. I don't think they're brave enough or smart enough to handle being Wanda's foils.
