Elisabeth Hasselbeck of The View should be fired

posted by Pensacola

I ran across a youtube of Elisabeth Hasselbeck who was obviously, though on the sly, being disrespectful of Michelle Obama in such a way that I wonder if it is a breech of contract in whatever agreement Michelle Obama made with The View before being interviewed.

 Hasselback accuses her of having things to hide, in a slippery neocon fashion.

 I think Barara Walters and Whoopi and Joy Baher need to kick her from the show.

 I don't think Michelle went on The View as a means to be taken advantage of.

I hate Elisabeth Hasselbeck (none / 1)

I hate the S in her first name particularly.

But I do have to say she is on my loathsome women I would like to bang list with Michelle Malkin.

(And no, Sarah Palin is not on that list.  She is attractive FOR A POLITICIAN.  She is not even on the radar as far as fantasy material goes.  Plus I HATE her voice.)

FINALLY (none / 1)
Y'know, Rich, I've heard too many people say how hot Palin is.  I've seen "babe" references to her.  I don't get it.  Is she pretty? - sure. (Yeah, pretty crazy).  But is she hot?  NO WAY, NO HOW, NO PALIN.

"Hot" is a moniker reserved for others - as was pointed out in one of the Open Threads.

Is Palin Hot? (none / 1)

Yes, for a politician.

Its like being tall for a dwarf.

Or short for a basketball player.

Or being fast for a lineman.

You get the point.

She is NOT hot like Kournikova. 

Hottest non-porfessionaly hot woman ever? 

Sharipova is hot for a tennis player.  Kournikova is hot on any scale known to man.

As for Palin being the VPILF and what that means?  Nothing to me.  If I want fantasy material, I am not watching CNN.  I am watching free internet porn.

I can assure you a quick Google search or a trip to the Hun will easily yield you about 100 substantially hotter 44 year old women than Sarah Palin.  So at the end of the day, I don't give a damn about her VPILFness.  

Incidentally, I think RJ made the point that we already had one of the best, if not the best looking candidate ever to run (if you are a woman) in this election and that didn't seem to be worth mentioning.

I'm waiting for the white woman reference in the style of Harold Ford Jr. in the Tennessee Senate race.  Karl Rove hasn't finished yet.

She is definitely trying to work that Tina Fey look, however, if she took those specs off, she would have nothing.  I confess, I'm a sucka for any mediocre lady like Palin who can pull the cute glasses routine even if she's milfy.  FTR - I still despise the lady and what she represents, though I can't help but to find her very entertaining especially on mute.

I can't stand Elisabeth Hasselbeck (none / 0)
Hilarious Rich, pointing out the "s" in the name...I'm always annoyed by alternative spellings of common names.

Right Rych?

Even worse is when someone insists that you pronounce their common name in a unique way. Like that (phoenetic spelling) Mee-shell on NPR. So f*ng pretentious that it's nauseating.

At any rate, I've been DVR'ng The View lately to see the political conversation that millions of low-info voting women are being exposed to. Hasselbeck is the worst kind of misinformed, lying, partisan right wing hack.  She's BRUTAL.

And guess what? She's not even hot, despite what many claim. I used to think she was super cute years ago, but now I think she's overly tan, oily, has eyebrows too dark for her light hair, no boobs and finally, dark, souless eyes.

PS---This contradicts everything I just said, but I had to include it in the interest of full hotness disclosure.

Full disclosure (none / 0)

I say she is hot because I haven't laid eyes on the woman since she got hired and I saw some media on the hire.

What has happened in the intervening years I have no idea.

When she was hired she had a great body and was cute as a button.

She is evil stupid.

As for goofy names, I get about 200 new student names a year so I have become something of an aficionado on this subject.

In my defense on Hasselbeck

In the bikini pics she looked TOO toned for my taste. I like some softness.

In the second picture above, her face looks strange...too long or, I don't know, something is off IMO.

But you would still hit it.

God knows I would.  I love petite blondes with girl-next-door cuteness.

(Please note this does not imply that there are not many other types of girls I like too)

She is batshit insane.

(Bobo, please not that I did not say hysterical, which is often considered a sexist term.  And to further show I am not a sexist I consider both you and John McCain to be batshit insane as well while considering Jazzchic, Yasemine and, of course, Desertpear to be completely reasonable)

Why is this "hot"? (none / 0)

Because she is a woman who fishes?  (Dime a dozen here in the Pacific Northwest, sorry)

Because men have a fetish for women with glasses?

Because she is outside and healthy?

I am embarrassed for men who categorize Sarah as "hot."  She is below average in looks.  Her voice is unbearable.  She breeds like a sow.  She wears her hair in a ridiculous style.   Name one thing about her that is "hot."

But she is only hot in terms of other politicians.

She looks like ten miles of bad road in that pic though.

The rest I agree with.

That assumes that Google Image search found the right person. If they did though, you can't argue with the hotness (at least in Exhibit A).

I'm glad to see you appreciate the power of the frames, however, that pic looks nothing like Palin.

Obviously, this is a younger woman than Palin.  I think it's a look-alike situation.

It doesn't say how old the picture is. Plus makeup, lighting and air-brushing can do pretty amazing things.

When? (none / 0)

I don't think anyone is arguing she was never hot.

The black and white glamour shot is nice too.

Was this pic from the last year or two?

Lots of ok to slightly above average women were hot at some point.  Big deal.

Semiotics (none / 0)

There were so many different photos to choose from, but I chose this one. Why? Because this photo tells a more interesting story than any of the glamour shots of Palin.

The background is not straight out of a tourism brochure. There is no majestic snow covered mountain. There is no dark green forest of southeastern Alaska. The background is Bristol Bay.

That coast freezes hard in the winter and thaws into a soft, spongy ground that supports scrubby vegetation that hides brown bears until you're almost on top of them. The sky is hazy and the sun is never overhead, even in summer. But the summer day is long with the sun slowly tracing a circle low in the sky, dipping barely below the horizon so that sunset turns to sunrise without any darkness between.

She's not standing on the deck of a pleasure boat. That is a working boat. Since women who fish are a dime a dozen in your part of the world, I'm sure you already noticed that detail.

Sarah is not dressed to impress. The hat, bandanna, hoodie with neck cut open and rain gear bibs are work clothes. She's working on a commercial fishing boat.

Working on a commercial fishing boat in Bristol Bay is extremely hard work, but it's honest work. It ain't lawyering in the belly of the corrupt Chicago machine.

She breeds like a sow.

Robert F. Kennedy ran for president despite having ten children and a wife pregnant with the eleventh. The size of Palin's brood hardly seems unreasonable in comparison.

 I was so mad when I looked at the view piece that hassalback did.  "Cindy has nothing to hide"  My ass, I still have not seen her tax records that we have been waiting for for so long!  Thats a big deal and tell me if I am wrong here.  I zoomed down the blog so fast to write that I didn't even look to see what others have written about the subject.  I'm with Cenk, life sucks today but hopefully we will get back to the lead or I'm going to have to increase some meds I'm on!  Pam

Very cool. This story ended up on Huffingtonpost.com today.

I feel empowered. I'm pretty sure the youtube site had about 230 hits when I posted this. Now it has like 90K. I could be wrong. (that happens sometimes)
