The View co-hosts are still dealing with fallout from Wednesday's appearance by 'Octomom' Nadya Suleman.
Thursday morning's The View was an episode dedicated to discussing infertility issues, and the co-hosts opened the show by discussing Octomom's wild appearance.
Barbara Walters addressed the wave of negative responses to Suleman's appearance: "A lot of the criticism we got was criticism for having her on," said Walters. "I mean certainly she was interesting to hear," she went on, but then read e-mails from viewers who chided the shows producers for "rewarding" Suleman for her irresponsible behavior.

Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck squared off about Nadya Suleman's decision to undergo infertility treatments when she had already given birth to six children:
Whoopi Goldberg empathized with Suleman's parents who were already providing most of the care for Octomom's first six children: "A little bit of courtesy of to your parents," said Goldberg. "It effects everybody. Just because you wanna have fourteen kids--doesn't mean unless you've got the dough. They have to be. She has to be,...ppffft," she finished, throwing her hands up in the air.
Hasselbeck responded snidely: "So if you don't have enough money you're not allowed to have kids?"
"I'm not saying that," replied Goldberg. "I'm saying you cannot be surprised when the people who are taking care-and it's not like she's working at Mickey D's. It's not like she's bringing dough in for the first six kids that she had."

The most talked about aspect of Octomom's The View appearance, though, is still Nadya Suleman's distinctive and, some say disturbing, laugh.
Whoopi Goldberg introduced a series of clips of Nadya Suleman laughing during her The View appearance. Goldberg compared Octomom's shrieking laugh to the one delivered by Tom Hulce in his manic, Oscar-nominated portrayal of Mozart in 'Amadeus'.
Joy Behar was disturbed by the laugh as well: "Every time she did that I thought she was going to pop out another baby".
Sherri Shepherd had Octomom's back: "I think operating on two hours of sleep a day makes you laugh like that".

I was really hoping the fertility expert they had on today would be familiar with the charges against Suleman`s doctor Kamrava and mention that she did not "give frozen embryos a chance" as she claims, but rather used FRESH embryos with every procedure. That would have dispelled the lie that will not die that she`s using to cover her stupidity and greed.
And now the lie comes with a new twist...Her uterus spasmed during the transfer and the doc thought she had expelled the embryos so they just repeated the process? Really? Just happened to have 6 more thawed and ready? I thought you had just used your last 6! Her lies don`t make a lick of sense!
She claimed she used her last 6 embryos and two of those split to make 2 pair of twins. But there are no twins in the bunch!
So now it`s oh, we thought I had expelled them so we crammed in some more. Woops.
Truth is, she used fresh in every procedure and cyopreserved the leftovers. Which means there`s a freezer full of her spawn on ice. Sc
Excellent observations Joe Doe. For a year she's been defending herself about these babies, it took that long to come up with the reason? Sad thing is, the minute she gives her excuses, people give her the benefit of the doubt without even questioning it. She is a pathological liar.
She's INSANE. Clinically insane. I'm glad that she was on the view to show just how totally insane she is. I don't understand why she hasn't been institutionalized. I work with the severely mentally ill, and she is CERTAINLY one of them.
