11. She'sspewing her usual BS
Barbara said something along the lines of "You say the same things over and over, can't you just for once maybe say 'there's another point."

Asking her to be a little more open-minded, basically.

BW asked her to explain why SP would be qualified. He answer? "Why is Obama qualified?'

She gave that answer, the audience guffawed, and someone suggested going to a break under her breath. I think Whoopi knew EH was about to dig her own grave or get stormed by the audience.

It takes me forever to type this, as I have a child crawling on me, so I hope I'm not about 10 minutes too late with this info!

18. So, essentially, she's saying, "I know you are, but what am I"
Jeebus. I love that the audience groaned at her, though!

21. Your doing great!
For one, I know how it is to try and type and look after a child. Secondly, I am at work, so any info, especially one about Elizabeth Hasselback getting her butt handed to her, is good info!

But your post brought memories flooding back. Isn't that the weirdest thing in the world when they're squirming around?

She's the biggest loser.

7. Walters told EH now was the time to show her critical thinking skills,
asked her to try to be balanced and not so one-sided in heaping praise on the rethug candidates. EH wasn't up to the task. She's getting groans from the audience as well as Whoopi, Joy, and BW.

8. Every time McCain or Palin is brought up
she acts like she's a paid attack dog, using her Fox-honed techniques of shouting over other people and interrupting and basically losing it when they back her into a corner.

She was going on and on about Palin being so vastly qualified and Barbara lost her patience.

14. When BW asked Elizabeth how Failin was qualified
Elizabeth said "how is Obama qualified?" So, Barbara pressed, and EH said that Failin has run a state, has run a National Guard and so on, and so on, and all that Limpballs' and other talking points for the sheeple.

:banghead: :grr: :grr: :puke: :mad:

10. God, Elizabeth is such an idiot!
Barbara gives her a chance to say why Sarah Palin is qualified to be president -- since they had already discussed how she would be just a heartbeat away -- and the first thing she says is, "Tell me why Obama is qualified." She can't even answer a straight question about Palin. The audience just groaned! Then she finally says, "She's running the State of Alaska. She's an expert in terms of energy. She has been in charge of the National Guard in times of war."

I was yelling so much, my poodle thought someone was here and started barking and jumping all over the place. :shrug:

16. ha!
I read another message board about The View (it's funny bc it's mostly people all complaining about Elizabeth. I don't watch anymore, but it's funny to read...even one of the few Republican defenders of Elizabeth on the board finally said after one show that she needed to leave the show bc she is ridiculous). Anyways, a running joke on the message board is how Elizabeth always says inatimeofwar! "We can't elect Obama inatimeofwar!" and "It's important to think of these things inatimeofwar!"

22. In other words, she just repeated the Hannity/Limbaugh spew
I wouldn't be surprised if she's looking to get tossed so she can be signed by FOX News the minute she gets her walking papers.

19. You have to remember
That she has been brainwashed and cannot process any critical thinking. A republicans brain can only hold one thing at a time, they are not very good at multi-tasking as has been proven by John McInsane.

But she gets all worked up and that spittle starts a formin' on the sides of her mouth...

23. How anyone could sit through that demented
hen party is beyond me. It's as if all the women who are too obnoxious for the neighborhood book club got together for their own daily bitch-fest.

Hen party? Book club???

Because a group of women get together and talk about things other than clothes and diets it's a bitch-fest?

42. But they talk a lot about clothes and diets.
:)

The problem isn't that they're women, IMO. It's that their only qualification for being part of the conversation is being celebrities. I have grown especially tired of listening to what celebrities think, even when I agree with them.

I would find it much more interesting if it were the discussion by ordinary people off the street.

Ooh! I may pitch that to ABC.

Don't go stealing my million dollar idea, now!

33. I happened to catch her on Huck's show on Fox the other night.
While channel surfing, of course.

I took that as either her audition for Fox, or a springboard to a Fox show of her own.

Good riddance. That's where she belongs anyway.

45. I don't think she could handle her own show.
She isn't interesting enough to carry an entire show. Plus, all she does is repeat the BS Hannity says so it would be kind of pointless to give her a show. But it wouldn't surprise me if she did go to Fox.

30. She is a little freaking nut case. She has no basis for her
answers. She really should have been McSame's running mate. She is a fox person 100%. No backup for her statements just yelling over people. She is horrible. I will not watch until they get rid of her!

I remember the other 3 of the final four but she has been wiped from my memory. So I don't know if I liked her on the show. I just remember being a Tina fan.

41. National Enquirer hinte that Babs was ready to toss her
Mind you, this was the NE issue that they first had Sarah Palin on the cover. I guess Walters is getting fed up with Elizabeth's tactics on arguming points (in a nutshell she just yells and repeats the same stuff over and over again).

My prediction is simple - in one year Hasselbeck will be cohosting the morning show over at Fox News. And her husband will be warming the bench at another NFL team (he is still a professional bench warmer in the NFL?)

44. Nope, EH's husband Tim, is a 4-team loser.
He's been jettisoned by 4 NFL teams now, since being signed as an undrafted free agent in 2002. He is currently a "free agent".

46. So he's not bench warming anywhere
Won't his butt get out of shape not regularly sitting on the benchings keeping them both warm and in one place? He needs an off-season routine, perhaps he can install a variety of benches from the various NFL stadiums to practice routines such as 'Standing & Sitting', 'Sliding down without getting Splinters' and my person favorite - 'Seat blocking so you can save a seat for someone else'
