And now for your never-enjoyable-or-even-interesting View Rumor of the Month…Elisabeth Hasselbeck could be straying from the gaggle for an anchor position at Fox News. Which has us thinking: Since the current View lineup boasts the aural equivalency of a bunch of pots and pans tumbling off a wall, Hasselbeck’s potential replacement should really be some sort of item you can buy for much more than it’s worth at Williams-Sonoma. I’m thinking a large, stone mortar and pestle, to represent the uncontrollable teeth-grinding that occurs whenever I have to tune in. Having the sound effect there permanently would just make the show more true-to-life. Any other ideas?
Which other clangy kitchen utensils could replace Elisabeth Hasselbeck on 'The View'?

For a show supposed to be a diverging panel of Views, its been pretty weak with EH as the only conservative voice for a while, mostly because she’s so weak. Someone smart, young, and not already a celebrity. I don’t have any names but I’m sure there are plenty out there.
Or, one of those rubber circles you use to open jars. They are so underrepresented on television, and don’t even make noise. Win-win!
Wait I take that back. Screw conservative. ANNIE BARRETT.
Shocker, a conservative nutter taking a job at “fair and balanced” Fox news…
So I guess she’d take the 5 p.m. hour if it’s true? It might also be that she saw what happened to Star Jones once the audience didn’t like her anymore.
There are plenty more conservatives who could do a better job representing their perspective than EH. Her biggest problem is a lack of introspection.
Correct, Bobby Rowe — and I should have mentioned that Annie Barrett actually is available at Williams-Sonoma.
I can’t believe that Elizabeth is still on television let alone The View. She will feel right at home at Fox with all the other homophobic out of touch rednecks. She can then preach her bs and no one will not want to punch her in the face. I would replace her with a fork because it will remind the others that they would rather stab themselves in their own eyes than listen to her babble one more time.
How about we leave Elisabeth and replace all the others with pots and pans or clucking chickens…but that is what they already are. Elisabeth is the only one who is not a racist socialist.
Move over, Megyn Kelly!
Fox News nabbed a fresher, cuter, more submissive-to-patriarchy face of conservative republicanism!
As for her ideal kitchen-utensil replacement, I vote for:
A Magic Bullet. Deceptively simple, malfunctions far too quickly, and loudly blends any crap you can imagine to stuff within its confines without pause.
Mother Teresa,
Thank you for ruining the name of a wonderful, giving caring woman. Please keep your hate to a minimum especially if you keep using this name.
wow, this is great news! she’s finally leaving. i may watch the view again after she’s gone, but sherri sheperd might be too much of an idiot for me to tolerate.

Thank You Annie! The title alone made me laugh out loud. I needed that.
who are the other ladies on ‘the view’ racist against? explain your exaggerated remarks.
New uproar record! Nine comments in! And with a topic as droll as The View, no less!
THEY NEED A LATINA!!
Poor Barbara Walters has to keep her.Lets face it she got rid of Debbie Matanopoulos first(rightly so).Lisa Ling left for what seemed greener pastures.Star pulled a nova and was made a black hole.Rosie ended up going over the deep end.Meridith Viara couldn’t take the cat fights and realized she didn’t have to take it any longer.Lets face it Joy Behar is the ultimate sourpuss she-dog . What is truly sad is that she believes she’s intelligent but a veteran on the show.Walters can’t sack Elizabeth as it would only make her seem like a nasty liberal.
It isn’t that Elizabeth is a conservative IT’S THAT SHE’S JUST PLAIN STUPID AND A HAS REALLY BAD TASTE IN CLOTHES.
I’ve GOT TO GET A LIFE!!!!
coming from the guy who watches the view every single day, i’m going to say it: elizabeth hassleback is right for the show. yes, her views are insane. but they are different. they get discussion going. so if she was going to leave? i’d say throw another crazy republican in there. patricia heaton!
One minute.I guess I didn’t read the article properly !Is she leaving or might she be leaving?Oh Barbara what luck if she leaves!!Mazel Tov!!!!!
Anchor? Does she have a journalism degree?
While I disagree with most of what Elisabeth has to say, her real problem is that she comes off as ignorant and childish. The View needs to find a smart, thoughtful woman with a conservative leaning. One exists, right?
i say they choose bristol palin – if sarah palin is good enough to be second in command (should the country not learn its lesson yet again), then her 17-year old daughter should be equally prepared to represent the conservatives!
any other idiot from survivor, or kathy griffin
a kitchen utensil? hmmmm, well maybe not a utensil, but how about a recording of a garbage disposal going full force? of course, she doesn’t swallow the garbage – she spews it out! and worse (like most bullies), she’s loud, won’t give a direct answer and won’t anyone else talk once they get going!!
I agree that Elizabet isn’t the greatest conservative voice out there, but it would be good to have one on the show. That being said, I think the charges of homophobes and rednecks are out of line. That’s an inaccurate judgement of people, something that liberals rip conservatives apart for doing…and moreso, there are homophobes and rednecks on both sides of the aisle.
I’m not going to get into a Fox News debate with anyone, but I think we should all admit that a channel like MSNBC is probably even worse.
but back to the issue at hand, my opinion is that everybody on the View is getting kinda old and tired, Dem or Rep
no MSNBC is news — Fox is simply empty noise – no its almost fake news presented as “fair and balanced” – misinformation is given almost everyday and never corrected or apologized for
I think that the most offensive thing about this show is that it buys into the television stereotype that “average” women won’t want to watch EDUCATED women on television. I realize that EDUCATED and REPUBLICAN is an oxymoron, but there has to be some woman out there somewhere, right?I really miss Lisa Ling. Who would have ever thought that someone could be WORSE than Debbie Matenopoulos? Does anyone else remember that Elisabeth was a shoe designer who was a REALITY TV SHOW CONTESTANT? I weep for the future of America . . . does no woman value education any more?
AMEN!
mscisluv:I could not agree with you more. I have no problem with a conservative voice on the panel, and there should be one to get the discussions going, as ninedaves pointed out. But her perspective on everything is black or white, right or wrong, here or there and the way she carries herself makes her even less likeable.
If she leaves then I’m not watching, I can’t stand watching an all-liberal panel. I like having it mixed. Hasselbeck doens’t bother me at all.
A sad day for journalism. Apparently at Fox you do not need an education or high IQ to report on the news, just a republican bias. I cannot wait for her to leave so I can watch the View again.
