Elizabeth puts the ass in Hasselbeck

It looks like Elizabeth Hasselbeck knows as much about politics as her husband does about being a starting NFL quarterback.

Far be it from me to ever promote or have much of anything nice to say about The View, one of the most annoying shows ever created. But, I couldn't let the comments by Elizabeth Hasselbeck in the above footage go. She sure does know her stuff, doesn't she? Hasselbeck sure does blow the lid off the Dumb Blonde stereotype, as she simply devastates Whoppi Goldberg with her Jeffrey Dahmer analogy about Rev. Jeremiah Wright. I had to watch this footage twice just so I could make sure I absorbed all of the sage morsels coming out of her mouth.

I'm not much of a fan of Whoppi Goldberg (anyone who dreams up the nickname "Whoppi" for herself has got to have a screw loose, but I'll cut her some slack since the etymology of her moniker comes from a whoopee cushion), but she makes as much sense as anyone I've heard regarding Wright's comments. Kudos to Joy Behar for bringing up the Bush family's association with the the House of Saud, the Saudi Royal Family, which effectively ends the discussion, since Hasselbeck has no comeback. (At left is a snap of Our National Embarrassment kissing some Saudi ass at his Crawford "Ranch" a few years ago.)

Anyway, as much as I dislike The View, I have to give credit where it's due - to both Behar and Goldberg for standing up to Hasselbeck's myopic, ill-informed views. Hasselbeck has a long way to go if she wants to join the screeching, women lunatics on the right (Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Debbie Schlussel, etc.). Almost seven minutes and no Bill Clinton reference? You've got a long way to go, Lizzie, but keep plugging away at it - someday you might reach the depths the far right goes to smear a Democrat.
