Filed under: Elisabeth-Hasselbeck, The-View
It was another sceraming match on The View today.
While both John McCain and Barack Obama are seeing a resurgence of past scandals, resident Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck tried to say that there was a difference between their controversies. She kept shouting that McCain had been completely cleared of any wrongdoing, while claiming that we still don’t know who Obama is, adding that his friendships are suspicious.
The rest of the gals called her out on it, saying that Obama’s left-wing radicalist cohort Bill Ayres hadn’t done anything dangerous since the late 60’s. Nonetheles, Liz didn’t want to hear it, so she kept shouting over them, saying that Sarah Palin should have dug deeper during the debates.
For her part, Whoopi Goldberg flat out said it was bullsh*t as they went to break.
Tensions were high for the remainder of the show.

The ladies of The View ganged up on poor little Elisabeth Hasselbeck today.
The topic at hand? Sarah Palin, of course!
Barbara Walters even jumped on the bandwagon, saying to Elisabeth at one point, “Every single day you never ever say, maybe there’s another point, so this is your chance. …”
“Yes, I do!” shrieked Elisabeth.
And Babs continued: “Tell us now why you think that Sarah Palin would make a very good President (since she might one day be “a heartbeat” away).”
Elisabeth’s response? “Tell me why Barack Obama is qualified to be President?”
If you missed it, this is a must-watch. It’s tense. It’s loud. It’s classic The View.

Filed under: Bill Maher, The-View
Bill Maher joined the ladies of The View today and the liberal late-night television talk show host did not hold back when discussion turned to Sarah Palin.
When asked how he thought the Republican vice-presidential nominee from Alaska will do in the upcoming debate, Maher tore in to Palin saying that he’s seen her speak twice and the “sentence to nowhere” is what comes out of her mouth. Meow!
He went on to say that if the comments came out of Joe Biden’s mouth, we would think he has brain damage.
Later, when resident shameless liberal Joy Behar pointed out that Dan Quayle was moronic and they won, Elisabeth Hasselbeck probed Joy by asking if she was claiming that Palin is moronic. That’s when Maher voluntarily chimed in with a gleeful “I will”, adding that the cynical Republican party has nominated a trifecta of bimbos over the last twenty years — George W. Bush, Quayle and Palin.
He later shared a story of when Quayle was asked during a debate what he would do in a time of crisis. He said first that he would say a prayer, leading Maher to blast: “Great, talk to your imaginary friend!”

Former president Bill Clinton says his wife didn’t really want to be Democrat Barack Obama’s running mate, but would have done it if asked.
“She said, ‘if [Obama] asks, I’ll do it, because it’s my duty.’ She loves being a senator for New York and has more freedom to develop her positions on the issues and her things,” Clinton said of his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, on ABC’s The View.
The former president said Obama made a good choice with Delaware Sen. Joe Biden. He said Americans admire Republican John McCain but predicted Obama will win.
If you missed it, you can catch the second and third part of Bill’s interview with the ladies HERE!

Filed under: John McCain, The-View
John McCain hit up The View today, and they discussed various topics, ranging from Sarah Palin to their houses to the separation of church and state.
First, resident Republican Elisabeth Hasselbeck asked McCain if he planned to try to get Roe V. Wade overturned.
After some political word-peddling, he answered: “I believe Roe v. Wade was a very bad decision.” If president, he would appoint Supreme Court justices who “strictly interpret” and “enforce” the Constitution. (In other words, kiss your ovaries goodbye, ladies!)
Next, Whoopi Goldberg chimed in saying, “Do I have to be worried about becoming a slave again?” (reminding that the Constitution made slaves three-fifths a person)… “because certain things happened in the Constitution that had to change.”
After a few laughs, McCain went on to clarify his position, saying, “I believe life begins at conception, but I respect the views of those who don’t.”
For some comic relief, he vowed to appoint Democrats and independents to his administration, saying I’ll appoint Joy (Behar) to be the director of communications.”
Finally — someone with experience!

After a two-week long hiatus, the girls of The View are back!
Not surprisingly, they had a lot to say today about John McCain’s vice presidential pick, Sarah Palin, particularly on the news of Palin’s teen daughter’s pregnancy.
While Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd were supportive of Palin, Whoopi Goldberg walked a more neutral line, urging that abortion rights are important. As for Barbara Walters, she kept her PC lips shut.
Here are some of the highlights:
Elisabeth: “Now we have a woman… with a ‘real’ vibe … She’s an outstanding woman… a lot of people are energized.”
Sherri: “You tell me what mother cannot come in and run the country after having five kids. I’m so excited about this … I believe she represents a regular American woman …”
Barbara: “If you were going to vote for Hillary, in part because she was a woman, would you automatically transfer your vote to the govenor?”
Elisabeth: “To say those woman would automatically shift to another woman I believe undermines the intelligence of the female vote.”
Whoopi: “What I really hope is that everyone could have the choice to make that decision … to have the child or not have the child. Sarah Palin has a strong family, but every kid that gets pregnant does not have that and sometimes having the child is not the best thing … I hope that this idea … (of) choice stays with us.”

Gurrrrrrrrrl, it got as ugly as Sherry Shepherd’s wig today on The View!
The gals were chatting about Jesse Jackson’s use of the “N” word and after a few Rosie O’Donnell-esque exchanges with Whoopi Goldberg, resident conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck broke down in tears!!!
If we had a heart, we’d totally feel sorry for the emotional little basketcase.

Jessica Simpson hit up the The View in Las Vegas today.
The rising country star finally set the record straight about beau Tony Romo when Barbara Walters quizzed her about her love life.
“We’ve been together for …seven to almost eight months now,” Jessica said of her Dallas Cowboys QB cutie. “I don’t really know about wedding bells … I still love him, and I’m still with him, so that’s a good sign.”
Check out above her performance of Come on Over!

Filed under: The-View, Whoopi-Goldberg
Not surprisingly, The View opened with a chat about the death of Heath Ledger this morning. The topic of discussion? Do you have to be angst-ridden to be a great artist?
For her part, show moderator Whoopi Goldberg said that she could relate to that idea: “Yes, I’m a very dark person. I have very dark moods.” Those dark places would sometimes help with acting, she said, but at one point early on in her career, “The place got so dark for me I thought maybe I should take myself.”
Said Joy Behar: “Kill yourself?”
“Yeah,” said Whoopi. But she said her daughter “kept the darkness from overwhelming” her.
The reason for it all? Fame. “It makes life hard. It’s hard to know who’s your friend, or what?”
As for being a celebrity, Whoopi says she thought it “was going to be light and fun,” but she soon “discovered there were people around me who wanted something. … Are you in my bed because you like me? Or because you want a car? A lot of people got cars.”
