Doing what she does best, the Hasselbot made headlines this week following a doozy of a View on Tuesday in which she took issue with not being invited to this year’s White House Christmas party. "Maybe I didn’t do enough for the Republican Party this year?" she asked. (Well, they did lose — badly — last month, so I guess that depends on your definition of "enough"?)
After the show, a member of the Bush Administration reportedly phoned Hasselbeck to apologize, claiming that her not being invited was a mere oversight. Apparently, even George "Bring ‘Em On" Bush knows hell hath no fury like a Hasselbot scorned.
Then, for part 2 of Tuesday’s headline-making turn, Hasselbeck later went head-to-head with Melissa Etheridge over California’s Prop 8 gay marriage issue (the clip after the jump — the ‘Bot was actually quite fair and reasonable in the exchange, but it is still mighty good TV).
Anyone catch The View yesterday? What other Hasselbeck moments have we missed in recent weeks? Please keep us in the loop. We luvs us some Hasselbeck.

i stoped watching ‘the view’ b/c of her. just let me know when she gets fired from ‘the view’ and ends up in fox news oblivion. thanks.
*stopped
How is it that this vile, vapid woman is still on television? Nothing brings me more joy than imagining Hasselbeck’s reaction when she realized that McCain lost the election. Guess you backed the wrong horse, huh Lizzy? There’s nothing worse than a person who walks the Earth with an undeserved sense of entitlement. Aren’t Republicans embarrassed to have their party associated with this histrionic mess?
Hail Hasselbot. She is one true voice of reason that is a thorn in the side of bleeding heart libels.
Toodles…. *sigh*. I don’t understand your reasoning. If Elisabeth weren’t on The View, they would have to change the name of the show to “One Single View”. Just because your opinion doesn’t match up doesn’t make hers invalid. It’s kind of selfish to act like yours is the only view that is correct…. plus- Serioulsy? You quit watching the view because of one person? Did you know that there are like 4 other people on the show that don’t share her opinions?? Seriously?
Hasselbeck is a legend in her own mind. She needs to get over herself. Geez.
This show needs to be removed from tv…stale, predictable, and yes, at one, point, it was interesting hearing and tuning in to see what ‘hot topics’ were going to be discussed. Now, they scream and out-talk each other to make their points. They seem to be tolerating each other too at this point. Joy says she likes Lizzy, but it’s so obvious she doesn’t. Reminds me of when a beyotch in h.s. didn’t like you. Babawa needs to retire.. she makes me tired hearing her talk. Sherry just needs to go away. Whoppi has demeaned herself with this crew.
allie, my problem with EH is not that her view is different from mine, the problem is that she is uninformed. She can only spout talking points. She has NO original thoughts, no worldview outside her own narrow experience. She is ignorant.
i swear americna liberal are biggest hypocrates that walk the face ofthe earth.. they bang the drum of diversity!! free speech..etc.. that is unless you are on the other side of the table from you.. and the hurl rocks and name call like five yr olds.
EH’s only crime is she is republican.
I personally dont agreee with everything she has said but she is still an amazing role modle for young women to stand by their own convictions and not let anyone tell you our oipinions and belief are wrong.
The part of Elizabeth’s that I take exception to is when she vehemently and defensively attacks any time that any of the others says anything that is remotely negative to the Republican Party, at least during the election. It was completely predictable when she would turn a question posed to her about republican rhetoric and wouldn’t answer the question but would say, ‘well, Obama looks up to Rev. Wright’, or say something else out of right field. But I do enjoy when they actually debate topics with thoughtfully and with respect.
this show lost any credibility years ago as to being relative. back in the day it really was interesting and fun. not a huge fan of Elizabeth but she is no more irritating than Joy. Both need to chill.
There ARE women with conservative points of view who would be excellent on the show. Unfortunately (for us), we got stuck with Elizabeth.
Elisabeth:
Answer the question Melissa asked you!
Oh, and the answer is not under your short skirt! Good lord!
Priggish sows like Hasselbeck give women and conservatives a bad name.
All of you lberals hate her because she’s young and beautiful. Your tyical liberal women like Bahar and Golberg epitomize how dog ugly and mean spirited most liberal women are. Just a fact, gals.
