Elisabeth Hasselbeck Pregnant and Blaming Election Foolishness on the Baby

But What About the Other 31 Years of Foolish Behavior?

Saul Relative
Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced on "The View" Thursday, January 29, that she and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Tim Hasselbeck will be expecting a third addition to their family in August. She told the ladies of "The View" that: "We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it. I didn't even know for two months -- I was walking around -- I thought I had -- I kept saying, 'Electionitis, electionitis.'"

How could anyone forget? Elisabeth Hasselbeck made a complete fool of herself at a Sarah Palin rally by beating the dead horse issue of Palin's massive wardrobe spending spree. 'Electionitis' is just her way of saying she was simply being her excitable self. But, then, since everyone is so used to America's favorite neoconservative airhead and her histrionics, no one noticed anything unusual, either. Now Elisabeth Hasselbeck is attempting to blame her childish excitability and vapidness on baby-enduced hormonal imbalance?

"I was tired," she continued on "The View," "I was nauseous, I thought I was worn out from the whole procedure. NO! I was knocked up and didn't realize it."

Someone should tell her the nausea probably came from watching herself on playback. And while they are at it, perhaps someone should explain to the little uncouth ex-Survivor that "knocked up" is slang and is generally used to describe getting someone pregnant outside of wedlock.

But one would think that congratulations are in order for the Hasselbeck family. But congratulations should be extended to the other ladies on "The View" as well since they will be given some time away from the woman. And congratulations also to the audience that will be able to watch a few shows without the presence of little Miss Over-the-Top.

Perhaps Elisabeth Hasselbeck's latest pregnancy will give her pause to reflect upon a career change. Doubtful, but her persistence on "The View" is the only reason this writer steers clear of the show unless there is something especially newsworthy involved (the McCain interview, Bill O'Reilly's interview). And it must be true of many others as well. Otherwise, why are there so many of those pop-up polls on the internet that ask if she should be "kicked off of The View'"?

But, then, who would replace her? She does offer an extreme oppositional opinion to Whoopie Goldberg and Joy Behar, so she does bring balance to the show. Somewhat. And her inanities do give her security with the other women of "The View" (you can argue with but never strike a mentally challenged person), something another conservative like, say, Ann Coulter (she's just a highly functioning idiot in the perjorative, not literal), would never be afforded.

So, it's decided. Elisabeth Hasselbeck stays on "The View." But no more blaming the baby for acting like a fool. How else does she explain the other 31 years of her life?

    Haa.. electionitis. :)

    (cont.) Despising the administration for chasing its false ideology is the least a "thinking" American can do, regardless of whether you have a liberal or a conservative bent. Behar might look foolish to you (and she to others) but she has a right to question or declare her OPINION. Rice and the Bush administration screwed up. Plain and simple. And Behar was not wrong. And Elisabeth Hasselbeck is just a cute chatterbox without substance. She's certainly no Kay Bailey Hutchison.

    Behar has a right to her OPINION, Deb. And all the doctorates and lettered names in the world can't make up for the fact that the Iraq War was unnecessary, mishandled, predicated on lies, and a waste of time and money. Rice dropped the ball before 9/11 and she failed as National Security advisor in the run-up on Iraq. She can't justify her actions or Bush's and barely says a word about it. Why? If going into Iraq was such a great thing, why? We toppled a petty dictator? Big deal. Blindly following fascists makes you complicit in their actions, whether you agree with them or not. Rice either did not do her job, which was to advise with known intelligence, or she blindly followed a blind and assinine ideology that has seen 4235 American military personnel killed so far. She can't, Bush can't, not one of those "We're Spreading Democracy" Idiots can justify the deaths of even one of those soldiers. Despising the Bush administration for chasing its false ideology is the least a "th

    I love Elisabeth most of the time. Can barely tolerate Joy. Does Joy not understand what a fool she looked like yesterday when she sat next to Condoleezza Rice and said she just didn't think we handled Iraq right? Joy knows more than a person who got her PhD in International Studies at age 26 and was the National Security Advisor before she became Secretary of State??? Elisabeth has a huge job trying to give the View group a little balance. I'm so sick to death of liberals who think that no "thinking" person could possibly be a conservative.

    Glad you wrote this one rather than me! She promised to have #3 during their summer break-so it doesn't look there will be much of a break from her "view"!

    What is it with people and that asinine phrase: "a breath of fresh air"? Regardless, she's not. She's trite. She's simple. She's banal. Joy Behar is just cranky. Cranky I can handle. Ditzy, I find a waste of time. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a ditz with great elocution...

    What's your problem Saul.... she's a breath of fresh air compared to Joy!
