The Twit may be losing her job on The View? Please oh please oh please

[greenbriar]

During the break, Barbara lashed out at Elisabeth,” an insider revealed. “In her typical style, she maintained her composure so it appeared everything was OK, but she made it clear to Elisabeth that she needed to calm down…”

When the taping was over, the… TV veteran had more to say to Elisabeth, according to the source.

“Barbara told Elisabeth that everyone welcomes her opinions, but demanded that she find an appropriate way to express them, and she said that if Elisabeth can’t do that, then maybe she should consider a new line of work,” said the insider.

“Elisabeth got teary-eyed and told Barbara that she feels as if the others are always ganging up on her. But Barbara quickly pointed out that Elisabeth brings most of that on herself.”

[no limit]

1. What did she do?

[Breeze54]

12. She goes off topic constantly to rave about Mccain, when he's not the topic.

She butts in ALL the time and spews RW Bullshit and doesn't let anyone finish their point.

Walters told her to shut up three times on Friday!! :P

[LiberalFighter]

47. What Barbara Walters needs to do is...

have a spray bottle with water in it. And whenever the twit gets out of line spray her.

Do that enough times all Barbara would need to do would be to set the bottle on the table when she starts getting out of line again.

[TxBlue]

61. She's needs to just fire her. She's irritating like a horsefly.

[pepperbear]

62. oh no! the spray bottle is much better!

it holds the extra added value of being entertaining!

[orleans]

63. LOL

[asdjrocky]

69. It worked with my cat.

That was very funny by the way.

[mrs_p]

71. lollollol

you struck my funny bone :rofl:

[SmileyRose]

77. It works to keep the cat outa the Christmas tree !!

[SammyWinstonJack]

81. That's funny!

:spray: :rofl: I'd watch that and I can NOT stand the little puke! Vote her off the island!

[Winterblues]

86. How funny, that is how we train our cats

Only we have switched to canned air. It is more effective and things don't get wet.

[ColbertWatcher]

67. What she did was expected to keep a job she isn't qualified for.

And yes, I'm talking about the bimbo on the TV.

She was on a reality show and get a spot on a talk show?

She should be happy she lasted as long as she did.

[muntrv]

2. If Hasselbrat acted like she had a brain, Baba Wawa wouldn't threaten to fire her.

[SmileyRose]

78. if she had a brain she'd be a Democrat - problem solved.

[annabanana]

3. Awwww.. Da Big Ba-a-a-aad libwuls made wittty bitty izabeff cry?

[Clcal422]

4. She should lose her job...........

My favorite part of the McCain interview was when she said to him you got my vote
what the heck .......... I wish she would get the boot
Debbie M got fired for NO reason at all but Barbara keeps Elizabeth for what reason????????????? I have YET to find out

[Roy]

79. It's a requirement for balance...

I think it got sneaked through on some bill that all shows that express political opinions must have a shrieking, unintelligent, constantly interrupting conservative.

A facsimile machine in good working order must be supplied by facility and mandatory 15 minute break must be allowed for said conservative to review and absorb latest faxed talking points.

All Conservative outlets are exempt from this law.

[BlooInBloo]

5. Ugh. Daytime talkshow gossip should be relegated to the lounge....

But I realize that scads of DUers watch it religiously. Flame away, all.

[greenbriar]

13. ugg no one forced you to click on it

it is relevant because of her political ranting so ................

[blue neen]

40. Did you actually see the video of the show?

Those ladies did the job that the rest of the media is refusing to do. I don't always like or watch the show, but they were spot on that day.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x189996

[greenbriar]

50. I actually recorded it that day

and I liked that they asked good questions.

Did you notice that Cindy said the house question was not related to the campaign

[Tutonic]

56. Because the number of houses in more than seven--nine maybe 11.

[Aeval]

84. They were great. It was especially important considering

...who their target audience is. Women 25-49. This is the segment of the population where McCain has gained ground since choosing Palin. (As a female in this age bracket, I shudder at this!). A lot of "hockey moms" saw those ladies give him what-for, and hopefully it peeled away some of that veil that the Sarah pick cast over their eyes.

[blonndee]

6. WAH! They're ganging up on me! (translation: my opinions are so nutty nobody agrees with me).

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. one can only hope ...

and gawd! please don't replace her with more of the same!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

8. I am sure Faux News would gladly make room for her. n/t

[Clcal422]

9. Yes very true its like calling her to her home

[tanyev]

46. Heck, a whiner like that would fit right in to the McCain campaign.

[spiritsong13]

10. ...

She tried to defend McInsane on The View. Just goes to show that "talking points" have no place in American politics. :woohoo:

[Gold Metal Flake]

11. Isn't her husband one of the View's producers or something?

[Breeze54]

14. No... he's a football player... and she's an ass!

:P

[greenbriar]

15. an x player

and a back up at that

[BlooInBloo]

19. What are you talking about? He's been the starter for the Seahawks for years now.

I'm certainly no fan of his, but there really should be a place for the truth, even in daytime talkshow gossip thread.

[greenbriar]

22. no her brother in law is the starter for the seahawks...his name is Matt

Tim her hubby was a back up to the Giants

not sure where he is currently


so before you call me a liar...

[BattyDem]

53. Backup? I always thought Tim was the Giants' clipboard carrier!

Every Sunday, there was Tim on the sidelines, wearing a baseball hat and holding a clipboard. :P

(I know I'm being snarky, but I always hated it when Elisabeth acted like the hubby was a freakin' NFL superstar!)

[KG]

23. wrong hasslebeck.

http://www.nfl.com/players/timhasselbeck/profile?id=HAS545049

he sucked.

[BlooInBloo]

27. Hah! Good call - thanks!

[greenbriar]

59. what no apology for calling me a liar?

you come on my thread, bitch about it being a gossip thread even tho the central issue is the Twit's politics and the recent flap she made of her self about Mrs. Obama

call me a liar when you are the one clearly with untrue facts and you skirt out?

[greenbriar]

25. and for someone who hates this thread why are you still on it?

hummmmmm

[Bluebear]

45. :)

[SammyWinstonJack]

82. ...

:thumbsup:

[greenbriar]

26. looks like he is the back up to the Arizona Cardinals this year

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5534

[ClusterFreak]

41. Actually...

...you're completely wrong.

Her husband is Tim Hasselbeck. The starter for the Seahawks is Matt Hasselbeck.

You're right on one account though...there really ought to be a place for truth. Too bad you have no fucking clue where it is.

[greenbriar]

48. Thank you

.

[ClusterFreak]

52. My pleasure.

;-)

[tabasco]

64. Hahahahahaha.

Looks like you had your truth handed to you.

[libnnc]

16. her husband is a football player

but "The Viewmaster"...the producer, is constantly giving her those idiot neo-con talking points.

The only reason she's still there is because of him. Bill Gedde.

[Gold Metal Flake]

37. There it is.

I knew she had some major patriarchal figure telling her what to say. Hasselbeck isn't just a twit, she's a zombie.

[tannybogus]

17. Here's why I think she is really in trouble.

At the RNC convention, Elizabeth said:
"Cindy came into our hair and makeup room, fresh as can be, and unlike another wife of a political candidate who shall remain nameless, she didn't come with a list of topics that we weren't allowed to touch. Nope, that's because she has nothing to hide."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoxkQUHZrTg

I think that really pissed Barbara off. I wouldn't want to go on the show if I thought somebody was going to drag out what happened backstage.
The cohosts sometimes talk about some backstage things, but I have never heard anyone do what Lizzy did. AND to suggest Michelle Obama was hiding
something is beyond the pale. Lizzy talks fast and won't stop. Then she gets pissed when people try to get a word in edgewise. I hope BW doesn't
let her get away with it anymore. She is no sweet little thing.

[Breeze54]

18. I missed that little gem.... she's a complete asshole!!

I hate that little bitch! :puke:

Been wanting to slap her upside the head for awhile now!

To bad I can't afford to go to NYC! :P

[me b zola]

89. I wrote to the view and complained about that

I had a few choice words to say.

[Kingofalldems]

20. "I'm pretty and they shouldn't be mean to me!!!!"

:rofl:

[tularetom]

21. All I know about the View is what I read on DU

but I remember when Law & Order did n episode featuring a TV bimbo named Elizabeth HassENback, I read she had a hissy fit and threatened to sue 'em. So I turned it on to see her and she was as fucked up as advertised. I'll watch it again just top see the goddamn drama if she gets shitcanned.

[Breeze54]

33. They just came back on air fom summer break and I had to watch

it after the uproar about pigs and lipstick and they delivered! :P

Joy is a riot!! I love watching her put down the RW and McLiar!

And she kicks HassleTwit's scrawny butt too!

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. I've never even SEEN The View....

Because I MUST avoid Lizzy Hasslebitch!

[greenbriar]

29. I used to watch it when Rosie was on cause she didn't let EH get by with crap

but Rosie felt betrayed and I can't blame her


now I don't watch much. Mostly catch clips of her idiotic behavior

[1monster]

43. I haven't watched it since Meredith Viara left the show to do morning news...Then it was a

thoughtful show that covered all sorts of topics.

Tried watching it again once or twice, but couldn't take it...

[Submariner]

28. Stop bitching here, and send them a note

and tell Babs how you really feel.

http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/ask

I just gave Lizzy a low-ball rating, and if Barbara gets enough complaints, maybe she'll can the boob.

[greenbriar]

30. I am not bitching and have sent plenty of "notes" I am loving that she may lose her job

I used to post daily "twit" moments


but don't watch it much anymore

[Submariner]

49. I didn't mean to single you out

We do a lot of lambasting of the opposition here, which is the point of DU in a way. What I meant to convey is that it is fine to bad mouth these repukes, and for most of them deservedly so, but if we really want to hurt them, we need to email and/or phone their boss and let them know our displeasure.

Keep doing what your doing, or there will be no chance to get rid of them.

[kevinmc]

31. FOX will give her a show .... no doubt. in my mind. n/t

[greenbriar]

34. maybe she can be Hannity's lap dog

I would love to see the headlines


"EH head caught in Hannity's lap"


I would laugh my ASS off

they both come off so smug and self righteous

[SammyWinstonJack]

83. That's a good place for her, especially since she gets her talking points from faux every morning .

[bamacrat]

32. Yeah she totally sucks,

all she does is repeat what she heard on Faux News the night before. The other black girl sucks too every time Ive seen the view which is not too much but enough, she take elizabeths side. I like Joy, Whoopie is good, Barbara seems to be more of a moderator taking all sides.

[greenbriar]

35. even dumbass o'Reily called the Twit a pinhead

O’Reilly awarded Michelle Obama the "Patriot" distinction because she danced with Ellen Degeneres during a Monday appearance on her show Ellen. But, by contrast, he then suggested that conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck, co-host of ABC’s The View, may deserve the "Pinhead" dishonor because Hasselbeck recently criticized Michelle Obama for having a list of demands when she appeared on The View, as Hasselbeck spoke at an event praising Cindy McCain. O’Reilly: "I say both patriots because we need all the dancing we can get in America. It lightens the mood. On the pinhead front, I'm not sure about this, so you can decide if View host Elisabeth Hasselbeck was out of bounds at a fundraiser honoring Cindy McCain.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brad-wilmouth/2008/09/12/o-reilly-michelle-obama-patriot-hasselbeck-may-be-pinhead

[OneGrassRoot]

36. whaaaaa?????

:wow:

Something's up with him.

But, yeah, that twit moment should get her in trouble.

On the other hand, they need contrast for the discussions to be lively. She's so shrill though that it devolves so easily and gets away from reasoned discussion.

All I know is that she annoys the living shit out of me.

[greenbriar]

38. now she says Matt Damon is sexist

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2008/09/13/hasselbeck-suggests-matt-damon-sounds-sexist

[The Backlash Cometh]

39. Damn. About time.

[tilsammans]

42. She's a dingaling, but . . .

. . . if they replace her, it might be with a R-winger who "sounds" and "appears" sharp and articulate.

EH's ditzyness (sp?) actually works in our favor.

[BuelahWitch]

68. Is there such an animal?

:shrug: Meaning "R-winger who "sounds" and "appears" sharp and articulate." William F. Buckley, maybe, but he's dead. I don't know of any others.

[Lord Helmet]

44. she gets fired, she becomes their next martyr

she sucks so I say good riddance

[file83]

51. McCain/Palin would no doubt choose her as Press Secretary.

[greenbriar]

55. she would make dana p look smart

bwahaha

[UTUSN]

54. THAT twit?!1 I thought it was going to be the OTHER twit!1 n/t

[progressoid]

57. Barbara Walters is a SEXIST!!11!

[mudesi]

58. PLEASE LET IT BE TRUE (nm)

[TxBlue]

60. Oh. Lord God, Please let it be true!

[ChazII]

65. Good riddence. n/t

[earth mom]

66. Maybe there is a God because I can't stand Elisabeth. I'm gonna start praying just in case.

:evilgrin:

O8)

[JI7]

70. they should never have hired that asshole in the first place

[demigoddess]

72. never watch the view-mainly because of her.

wouldn't mind a bit if they fired her all the way to Alaska

[ShenandoahAspen]

73. I just hope...

they don't replace her with another right wing twit.

[Sebastian Doyle]

85. Maybe they'll fire her after the election?

Then there will be another annoying right wing twit available. And this one even has a journalism degree from somewhere in Idaho. :rofl:

[DemoRabbit]

74. No offense, but this is just celebrity gossip

Even IF she were to lose her job, they are just going to replace her with another conservative right-winger.

[greenbriar]

75. no offense but this is not just celeb gossip. She has made herself a front in politics and she

just this week slammed Mrs. Obama


so



don't like the thread...don't click and bitch sheesh is it that hard?

[DemoRabbit]

76. Hey, I hate her too

but they would just replace her with another conservative. The show is SUPPOSED to show women with different opinions. and it's celebrity gossip. She's a celebrity, and the article you pointed to is speculative gossip about overheard conversations. They said the same thing about Sherry not too long ago, and she wasn't fired either.

[Kablooie]

80. Maybe she could go into designing sneakers.

[gatorboy]

87. She was a reality show contestant, that's more than enough experience to run for VP!

Just ask Republicans.

[Sewsojm]

88. It probably won't happen but

I'd love to see her get fired, of course she'd have a new job with Faux Noise within minutes.

[Javaman]

90. Tears and whining the last act of a repuke scoundrel. nt

[greenbriar]

91. I didn't watch it today and didn't tape it...how was the twit?

any change?
