Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Elizabeth Hasselbeck update

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is voicing her displeasure with her co-hosts on the cast of “The View.” Hasselbeck was rumored to be upset over the interviews with the politicians like John McCain. Hasselbeck is a Republican and she is pi**ed over the way McCain and Cindy McCain were treated.

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar made pointed barbs on the Republican views. Whoopi Goldberg asked if she had reason to worry about becoming a slave again. This was her response to John McCain’s claim that he would appoint Supreme Court judges who were strict. Joy Bihar accused McCain of misrepresenting in two of his ad campaigns.

A staff on the set of The View told a newspaper Elizabeth Hasselback and the rest of the co-hosts were not having things that bad as the rumors claimed. It was worst when Rosie O’Donnell was one of the objecting co-hosts. Barbara Walters allegedly set a meeting to address the issue with her co-hosts. There were rumors that Elizabeth Hasselbeck may leave “The View” to host her own TV program. Hassselbeck may want some space and breathing room.

Rosie O’Donnell compares Sarah Palin to Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

Rosie O’Donnell compared Sarah Palin to her former “The View” co-panelist, conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck. O’Donnell wrote that Sarah Palin and Elizabeth Hasselbeck are like identical cousins. “Women who hunt in high heels gives one pause.”

Someone asked O’Donnell if she thought Sarah Palin was genuine. O’Donnell managed a cryptic reply, saying, “What you see is what you get.” O’Donnell was concerned that a mother like Palin would choose to juggle a newborn and a pregnant teen together with running for the office of VP.

Readers who are mad with this might take note that the source of discussion is here.
