Claws Come Out On "The View" -- Sandra Bernhard gets into it with 'View' co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck over First Lady Laura Bush. [video]
that blond's been overdosing on KoolAid. Were they even discussing education at all???? I'd walk away too if she started spouting GOP nonsense--Is she Viera's replacement?
That Elisabeth chick really sucks a whole lot. I used to watch the show when I was in college, because I never took morning classes. Once they added her to the roster, I dropped it from my schedule. I mean, what the hell were they thinking? She's famous for what, exactly? Other than being not-too-bright fake-o with a nasal voice? Oh, and she's a reality show has-been? Yeah, Babs must have been drinking when she hired this chick.
Ahh, I remember back in the days when Joy Bahar said whatever she wanted and was actually funny, rather than just kissing celeb ass, Meredith Viera wasn't "phoning it in" biding her time until she takes Couric's job...Lisa Ling was there and she was awesome. Star Jones was still fat and didn't have a fake gay husband or the nickname Bridezilla. Good times.
Lisa Ling used to be on Channel One (a "national homeroom" news program that had some occasional good content and too many ads) - I was very disappointed when she joined the View...
I loved Channel One with Lisa Ling and Anderson Cooper.
At my school we were allowed to talk or do homework during the ads. They paid for free tvs/vcrs for every classroom as well as a sat dish for both the middle and high school. For my small town, that was the only way that we were able to get that kind of equipment.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck "was formerly known to television audiences as a participant on the wildly popular second edition of Survivor: The Australian Outback....In August 2004, Mrs. Hasselbeck spoke at the Republican National Convention"
I cannot WAAAAAAAAAAIT to see Rosie on The View. I only wish Star was still going to be on the show then (rumor has it that Barbara hates Star, and hired Rosie in an attempt to push Star out- rumor has it when Star leaves, Gayle King will take her place).
