Good grief, HASSELBECK on The View - yakking non-stop 2-3 minutes

[UTUSN]

She's guest co-hosting but is said to be under consideration for the permanent slot.

From the get-go, barely introduced, she took over with machine gun verbal delivery, not taking a breath, a solid stream of verbalisms about Gawd. O.K., it was about her seeing the response of Tennesseans to the tornadoes, fine. But then, when the torrent was finally over, for the first discussion question, she took off again and the panel hadn't had a word at all on anything.

I was probably working back when she was hosting before, was only aware of her via the clips of her clashing with Rosie O'DONNELL and crying and being the wingnut victim. But she is fully *EMPOWERED* now, fully bursting with confidence now.

If she is taken on as permanent, she and McCAIN will wreck it all way worse than ever.

1. I thought they fired her a while back...

Different show? Her BIL is one of my favorite NFL quarterbacks from 20 years ago. AFAIK, she's always been a bit of a Christian whackjob.

5. She was gone, went to Faux for a few. BIL? She's married to one player. Brother plays too?

Or playED, the years have gone way by!1

Surprising, some recent excerpts from the tell all book about the show, saying that Bill GEDDES the co-creator was a ferocious wingnut who hired her and then fed her topics and language to stack the panel with wingnut content. I didn't think it was so staged to that extent.

6. Yes, her husband Tim Hasselbeck is the younger brother to Matt...

Matt played for the Seahawks and even made it to the Super Bowl. Lost to the Steelers in the infamous flag bowl.

Tim was mostly a backup for his career.

2. I can't watch that show.

I just don't want to hear what they have to say. I'd rather guess prices on TPIR.

[Rorey]

4. I definitely won't watch it with her on it.

She's even worse than Megan McCain.

3. I had to stop watching when she was on back then

She is worse than Meghan. I haven't watched todays yet being on west coast but I can just imagine. I didn’t know they were thinking of having her back full time. People already upset about Meghan will stop watching.

7. Sure looking like ABC is going

Murdoch since Igor Resigned.
