The View is a place for women of differing political viewpoints to intelligently discuss the news of the day while squawking around like a gang of clueless ninnies.
And, as such, all political viewpoints must be represented on The View. That’s why Elisabeth Hasselbeck has gained longterm employment on The View as the show’s resident spiteful backwards reactionary fact-ignoring common sense-deprived world-hating Bible-humping bumbling yokel.
But maybe not for much longer. It’s been reported that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is getting more and more infuriated with the liberal viewpoints of her co-host Whoopi Goldberg, to the extent that ‘cooling-off meetings’ have been arranged to calm her down. It’s led to speculation that Elisabeth Hasselbeck will soon leave The View, which will be a shame. We were hoping she’d stick around at least until her brain popped.
It doesn’t matter what happens on The View any more. The show’s glory days are behind it. Barbara Walters could set fire to some orphans and kick them down the stairs tomorrow and people would still only remember The View for two moments.
Those moments are when Danny DeVito drunkenly burped puke into his own mouth and – more relevantly – the full-scale split-screen windtunnel of a screechy row between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell about the war or something. Nobody came out of that one looking good – not least us, but that’s only because it made us so infuriated that we pulled all our hair out and started striking around at our faces with a hammer.
The winner of that particular battle was Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whose argument that all unborn children should be given handguns to protect themselves from abortionists and rapists (or something) beat down Rosie O’Donnell’s assertion that the government is made of a giant super-intelligent lizard race determined to farm the world of its tears (or something). But, by winning the battle, Elisabeth Hasselbeck may have lost the war.
That’s because, after the fight, Rosie O’Donnell left The View and was replaced by Whoopi Goldberg. Now, Whoopi Goldberg is probably as liberal as Rosie was, but it’s harder for Elisabeth Hasselbeck to win fights with her. It’s easy to look like the clever one when your debate opponent is a fat belligerent lesbian, but when it’s the wise, all-knowing Jesus alien from Star Trek: The Next Generation? Not so much.
And because of this, Elisabeth Hasselbeck has reportedly been getting so wound up that she could be on the cusp of leaving The View. The Seattle PI reports:
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the only politically conservative member of the hosting crew on ABC’s “The View,” apparently is becoming more annoyed with her liberal counterparts. Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker quotes “a longtime staff member” of the show as saying, “It’s not as bad as during the Rosie era,” but Hasselbeck is “really upset” with the liberal politics of co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.
Because of this, there have apparently been ‘cooling-off meetings’ to try and get everyone back onside. But with an election just weeks away, there’s every chance that Elisabeth Hasselbeck will become so shrill and objectionable that only dogs will be able to tell how much ill-informed nonsense she’s spouting.
So, you know what? Let Elisabeth Hasselbeck leave. She’s apparently already looking over offers from Fox News, and she’ll obviously be happier there. Plus it can’t be that hard for The View to find a replacement who shares the same political ideologies as Elisabeth Hasselbeck, can it? Has anyone even tried calling Ralph Fiennes From Schindler’s List In A Lady’s Wig yet? Thought not.

Nice rack. What’s the story about? 10 word summary, please.
Mithaearon says
I only got as far as the rack too, I saw something about her getting whoopie thoough whilst scanning the words before getting back to the rack watching.
D says
Lisa Ling. She was young and represented youth well – smart and articulate. I’m sure there is a comparable replacement out there. When Elizabeth starts speaking, I need to change the channel. Nothing is wrong with Republican representation. I welcome the diversity and it is needed. Let’s just find a more suitable person. Please do go Elisabeth, so I can watch The View again without the interruptions.
pkrsuckout says
sherry is also a conservative. she amy have registered democrat but she still hasnt stopped being conservative. the difference is that sherry isnt out there running the republican doctrine. elisabeth doesnt even have any real opinions of her own. she never diagrees with the republicans and never gives any allowances to the other side. she should have been fired a long time ago for not doing her job. in fact i would not be surprised to find out the republicans have been paying her for her services. on a side note i wonder why john mcain didnt ask elisabeth to be his running mate instead of palin. she has been backing his base better than any other republican in office and everyone alreeady knows shes an idiot and seems to be ok with it.

Why is it that if you have a different opinion than HOLLYWOOD (Barack, Whoopi, Joy, Barbara, Oprah, Lindsey Lohan)you are called stupid. These people are buying the White House and have cast Barack for the part. He should win an Oscar not be the President. This movie has been in the making for years. And if you think they care one bit really about the middle class then you are saddenly mistaken. Do you really want your future and your childrens future based on a Hollywood script????

Back the rack!
And damn you HS, I just wasted an hour of my precious time crawling the web for nude pics of Liz H, and the closest I got was Paris Hilton’s muff…
Ann Brown says
Elizabeth should move over to Fox News and be Hannaity co-host. They are such hater. I will not continue to watch the view as long as Elizabeth is a co-host. PERIOD………………….
DD says
EH belongs on Fox with the other neo-con Ditto-monkeys. They need to find a conservative who is level-headed and not such an extremist nut-job. I stopped watching the View because of Elizabeth; she’s just plain poisonous & shrill. If they took her off I would start watching again.
Sheryl Axelrod says
Couldn’t agree more. Elizabeth is nothing but an irritant. Her “view” is very narrow. She appears to speak from her gut and not from knowledge. She addresses Obama’s questionable associations and how that speaks to his bad judgement, and yet does not address McCain’s association with the Keating 5 scandel and the savings and loan debacle here in AZ. McCain escaped imprisonment but was censured for “poor judgement”. He accepted trips, evaded taxes, interceded in Keating’s defense, Also, Cindy McCain and her father invested in a shopping center Keating was developing. Can’t believe McCain does not communicate with his wife so is not aware of her investments. Mighty fishy and certainly hypocritical. Elizabeth chooses to be ignorant and argumentative rather than gathering facts.

Oh Elisabeth you are such a MORON,I think you just stick by your view just for the heck of it regardless of wether you believe in it or not.I think you just go along with your idiotic comments and arguments because you seem to enjoy the contoversy and publicity it creats and in your delusional head you think you come across as inteligent. You come across as a possessed mindless person with not an ounce of common sense .Don’t get me wrong,every body has the right to his or hers own oppinion and conviction but to see every thing either black or white is ignorant and quite dangerous.In your opinion you are always right,people who don’t agree with you are always wrong.Can you really not see the damage the bush administration has done to your country? Do you really want some more of this?It is time for a change.Time to grow up girl

That girl needs to get off tv,I can’t stand the site of her any more,she is a moron.How on earth did she ever get on tv????What did she ever do to make her qualified??? She is a nobody that gets too much attention for having done absolutely nothing.Yet she seems to think that her opinion counts. Why???She is nice looking in a steppford sort of way but she has nothing else to offer.She is iritating,loud and has a stupid voice.Hey people,I have a lot to say too,can I PLEASE come on tv and tell you all my oh so importened opinions???By the way,I am also blond and have blue eyes,does that count in my favour?
Jillian says
How come nobody talks about EH’s very obvious LISP? More education and a speech therapist and she would be well on her way to her goal as President. I wonder if her coworkers ever have to wipe down from the spray that must emit from her mouth. Sufferin’ Sucotash!
isabel isgut says
really!!!! who give a f…. if she go away, i can wait , she is annoy, stupid, tipical republican, don’t know how she is tv, and so lucky to still there. The view will be so much better without her, I know they need all the differents opinion, but is another smart republican out there????
Bev says
She’s leaving The View?? AWESOME!! Her stupidity was entertaining for awhile but it’s now getting stale. It’s okay to have different viewpoints but all that she’s capable of is diarreah of the mouth. She should just go home and raise her children…and take all her ignorant, ridiculous, obnoxious, comments, and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine. Face it Elizabeth…everyone thinks you’re an idiot and nobody cares what you have to say. Then again, someone who is more than willing to look like a fool on T.V., to stand up for what they believe in (however stupid) takes some guts. Either that, or you’re just blissfully unaware of how much of an idiot you are. I vote for the latter.
