I had a nightmare about this last night, except that in my dream Rosie came out at the end and administered the oath of office to Obama right there on the set. And his inaugural address was all about whether fire can melt steel.
Watch to the end or else you’ll miss Barbara pressuring Hasselbeck to explain why Palin’s qualified to be president. Her answer: Why is Obama qualified to be president? The ladies don’t like that.

I think that palin has finally made Barbara forget about objectivity. She always claims to be unbiased, but with palin, she can’t control herself…lol.
Chudi on October 1, 2008 at 6:29 PM
Thank you Allah, I’ll pass on it now, but will save it for next time I ingest poison and need my stomach pumped.

“Why is Obama qualified to be president? The ladies don’t like that.”
How DARE Hasselbeck throw logic in their faces!
Barry’s qualified because, ammm….er…ah….uh….aaaa…..
he was a “community organizer”! Yeah, that’s it!
GarandFan on October 1, 2008 at 6:31 PM
I’d rather drag my scrotum through ten yards of broken glass than watch that clip.
Metro on October 1, 2008 at 6:31 PM
You ask a lot of us there, AP…
JetBoy on October 1, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Bawbwa looks like Judge Judy.
Dead Hand Control on October 1, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Oh, and ladies….Palin is running for VICE-president.
Exit question: Why do you keep comparing her to the TOP of your ticket?
GarandFan on October 1, 2008 at 6:32 PM
Best laugh I’ve had all day; but the visual is disturbing.
tehd on October 1, 2008 at 6:33 PM
I Don’t wanna watch!!!!!!!
Poor Hasselbeck :{
I feel sorry for her.. Go to Fox News.. Please..
Get away from those angry women..
Chakra Hammer on October 1, 2008 at 6:33 PM
I want to know why any of these ladies are qualified to give their political opinion on national television :-)
terryannonline on October 1, 2008 at 6:33 PM
Comparison responses needed:
– How did The View speak to Mr. and Mrs. McCain (list all examples)?
– How did The View speak to Mr. and Mrs. Obama (list all examples)?
– How does The View speak about Sen. Joe Biden (list all examples)?
– How does The View speak about Gov. Sarah Palin (list all examples)?
A little compare and contrast.
Why do we have to suffer these insipid fools?
Hey Allah, can you provide a work-accessable link to the video?
Geministorm on October 1, 2008 at 6:34 PM
I like my scrotum, and wouldn’t do that that..
however that said, I didn’t and won’t watch the clip.. >:D
Chakra Hammer on October 1, 2008 at 6:35 PM
I skipped to the end to watch the EH-Barbara part. I hate sitting through 8 minutes of these ladies, but I love me some EH. [hint to BW: Obama's not qualified]
Spirit of 1776 on October 1, 2008 at 6:35 PM
I could care less about this video. These “women” are disgusting, idiotic, anti-American jerks (except for Elisabeth). I am so annoyed at how many people watch this show. Do something else instructive with your time.
jencab on October 1, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Why hasn’t SNL brought back Cheri Oteri to play Bawbwa?
BuckeyeSam on October 1, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Ok, so Joy is saying how stupid Sara is to talk about age because McCain is the oldest man evah. BUT, how stupid is it of her to go on and on about McCain’s age with the oldest woman on TV sitting at the table? Isn’t Barbara about the same age as Sen. McCain?
sheesh on October 1, 2008 at 6:38 PM
AP, you should follow this with a clip of “Nomad” from the original Star Trek series delivering one of the best lines of all time. After ‘wiping’ Uhura’s mind, Nomad was told that Uhura was a female. Its response, “a mass of conflicting impulses”
Gohawgs on October 1, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Epicac, meet your rival!
profitsbeard on October 1, 2008 at 6:38 PM
Puffy shirt.
Unwatchable clip.
MarcusBrody on October 1, 2008 at 6:38 PM
How does Elizabeth H. face those hags every day?
Sorry – hags was not very nice. Those umm, uhh, hmm.
No, hags works.
tru2tx on October 1, 2008 at 6:40 PM
When thinking of Elizabeth Hassellbeck’s job on the View, I’m reminded of Norm MacDonald on SNL many years ago saying the worst job in the world was “Crack Whore assistant.” I’m wondering if “Token Conservative on The View” is any better.
Why is it obligatory to post something from the View, btw? Watching these hens cluck and peck is hardly like reading the Economist, is it?
zmrzlina on October 1, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Just over at Zsa Zsa’s “Snuffington Post” and the Moonbats are of course ripping Sarah up. Only problem is they are really scared of her doing well tomorrow night. They fear Joe Biden will actually do worse, with some calling for him to bow out. This thing isn’t over by a long shot, judging from the paranoia in MoonbatLand.. I’ll say a nice prayer for SP tonight that she’s cool, calm and collected and puts herself across as she really is, America. The Socialists are in a state of fear…………….
adamsmith on October 1, 2008 at 6:41 PM
I’d rather give Rosie a tongue bath than watch that clip.
Wait… No, I’ll watch it.
*sigh*
CliffHanger on October 1, 2008 at 6:42 PM
I wish everyone could have Hasselbeck’s of having to fight for their ideas in hostile territory. If you truly attempt to engage the hostile ideas and the reasons they are held, you can learn so much. Hasselbeck gains so much more from being on the show than do the other ladies who never have their ideas seriously challenged.
thuja on October 1, 2008 at 6:43 PM
Hmm is this recycled glass or the old fashioned green bottles that hurt like hell when you slice yourself open on them?
upinak on October 1, 2008 at 6:43 PM
I really admire Elizabeth H for going head to head with these other “folks” on the show all this time, but SHE really needs to do more prep. She had very little there to promote Sarah Palin except for a couple of general talking points.
gxpgxp on October 1, 2008 at 6:43 PM
Well…Elizibeth held her own in that one. Good for her.
Over.
*eats*
Oh, sorry I got confused for a second…because I’m OLD.
1GooDDaDDy on October 1, 2008 at 6:43 PM
“ladies” – loosest possible definition.
whitetop on October 1, 2008 at 6:43 PM
They make me want to PUKE….
reshas1 on October 1, 2008 at 6:44 PM
Liberals must be lousy poker players. They keep tipping their hand. I mean if Palin were such a lousy pick, shouldn’t they just shut their mouth’s and let her crash and burn? They’re scared, and I wonder why, but I already know the answer.
CH on October 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM
those bitches!!!
They are just pissed cause Elizabeth is hot and they rest of them are old and ugly.
Roger Waters on October 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM
*channeling Emperor Palpatine*
Yes, my dear View Ladies, give in to your hate. Only your hate can make you strong…heh heh heh heh….
ManlyRash on October 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM
1Good, take Grue out of your mouth. He is not a cookie!
upinak on October 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM
I think Whoopi did alright here. She said none of the people on either side of the ticket are ready for the presidency. I don’t begrudge her saying that none of them have the experience.
Geministorm on October 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM
Four liberal women versus one conservative woman.
They need those odds, and volume, to win an argument.
And for Walters to have the jaw-dropping gall to lecture Hasselbeck on not turning over and accepting their views when they pummel her with them on a daily basis is mind-boggling. I really hope she tells each and every one of them to kiss her ass and finds a place where she will be among intelligent, informed people.
MadisonConservative on October 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM
So Joy does exactly what she accused Gov. Palin of doing. What a douche.
Hasslebeck needs to tell BawBwa to go F*** herself and walk off stage. :-)
SouthernGent on October 1, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Those broads are just pissed that Elizabeth is hot and the rest of them are old, fat, and ugly.
Roger Waters on October 1, 2008 at 6:46 PM
I’ll make this easier: I’d sooner smash my own balls flat with a scallopine hammer than ever watch this clip.
ManlyRash on October 1, 2008 at 6:46 PM
Its amazing how Gov. Palin has really struck a nerve to oprah and barbrah wah wah. To say she has no experience is as saying carter, reagan, clinton, and bush not having experience.
jaboba on October 1, 2008 at 6:47 PM
She may just do that. Rumor has it that Fox News is interested in her.
ManlyRash on October 1, 2008 at 6:47 PM
I watched the whole thing. The whole Goddamn thing. Are you happy? Would you like me to watch another one?
RINO in Name Only on October 1, 2008 at 6:47 PM
Tru dat.
ManlyRash on October 1, 2008 at 6:48 PM
Right you are sir!
Barbwa is 79 years old, older than John McCain by 7 years…
So, how stupid does that make Joy? /rhetorical
Geministorm on October 1, 2008 at 6:48 PM
No. But you can take a shower now. (whew)
ManlyRash on October 1, 2008 at 6:48 PM
I’m now a few points less intelligent after that (saying while poking out eyeballs with ink pen).
Hog Wild on October 1, 2008 at 6:49 PM
Screw those left wing harpies.
mindhacker on October 1, 2008 at 6:49 PM
I wonder how long Baba Wawa preps her face before each show.
Excruciating, yes. I couldn’t watch more than half of it. I listened, cringing, but couldn’t watch.
Every time EH makes a point, (they shake in their boots over SP) they drown her out. I hope she has body guards and that they followed her home as she decided to leave that odious program that masquerades as intelligent discourse. Ignorant you know whats, all of them.
Christine on October 1, 2008 at 6:50 PM
those bitches are annoying but hasselcock is a big idiot.
venicesurfer on October 1, 2008 at 6:51 PM
Not that I give a hoot – I don’t watch these “ladies” – but assuming Sarah does well tomorrow night and kicks butt – will there be a collective heart attack on Friday morning’s program?
At least Elizabeth H. can smile and say nothing.
tru2tx on October 1, 2008 at 6:51 PM
Sounds like at least half the audience is with Hasselbeck ,..and still the unanswered question is “Why is Obama qualified to be president?”
BTW,..Joy,..&^#%&&!!!
christene on October 1, 2008 at 6:53 PM
Regardless of the actual occurrances at the debate, unless Biden is completely and utterly flabbergasted – please please please please please – they’ll likely be raving about how “stupid” Sarah sounded and how even an old gaffer like Biden can outthink her.
Ten bucks.
*eats*
Grue in the Attic on October 1, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Great clip! Just shows how deep Sarah Palin is in the heads of these folks.
darwin on October 1, 2008 at 6:54 PM
Whoopi actually did say one intelligent thing in that clip:
“None of them are qualified [to be president]… the only one qualified is someone who’s done it.”
Good, Whoopi, good. Since GW cannot serve a third term, the closest we can get is VP Cheney.
I assume she’ll be writing-in Cheney come Nov 4th…
Rodent on October 1, 2008 at 6:57 PM
Four on one.
It’s just like the rest of the media.
John on October 1, 2008 at 6:57 PM
I need that African minister to pray over me and protect me from witches. NOW.
Elizabeth, run don’t walk, to Fox. Actually, maybe we are better off having you do what you do there. Thank you Elizabeth for your service in holding the conservative line on The View. You definitely need a prayer session with that African minister too after dealing with those…colleges of yours on The View.
Mr. Joe on October 1, 2008 at 6:58 PM
4 against 1 and she still managed to get some zingers in there. Good on you, E.
David Combs on October 1, 2008 at 6:58 PM
That anything like a runcible spoon?
Buford Gooch on October 1, 2008 at 6:59 PM
These harpies think it was wrong to make this “joke” about Biden but Palin’s comment was not about Biden’s age but rather how he has been a creature of Washinton and the US Senate since 1972-a significantly longer time than McCain–making him the ultimate beltway insider.
GreenBlade on October 1, 2008 at 6:59 PM
But is she so dumb as to be a regular viewer of “The View”? Now that would be an almost unmatchable dumb.
MB4 on October 1, 2008 at 6:59 PM
Well I have a rock hammer (it bounces when smacking rock so it doesn’t polverize them to dust) would that work?
upinak on October 1, 2008 at 7:00 PM
She should. Then go to Fox and go one step further. Write a behind the scenes book on the View. :P
artchick on October 1, 2008 at 7:00 PM
I thought more like a French maid…or perhaps a clown. Those ruffles distract from the fact that her lips barely move.
Just like junior high… and about as thoughtful.
onlineanalyst on October 1, 2008 at 7:00 PM
good lawd babwa wawa is out of her liberal msm mind. elizabeth hasselback is the counterpoint? to four others? i cant believe this piece of shit show is still on tv.
anna on October 1, 2008 at 7:01 PM
hasselbeck is stupid. they are all annoying but her and the fat black chick are the dumbest ones. whoopi and walters are the only broads on there with brains. as much as i may not agree with them.
venicesurfer on October 1, 2008 at 7:02 PM
Question: When will these women die? Because I’m celebrating that day.
madmonkphotog on October 1, 2008 at 7:02 PM
I can’t watch it.. Tell me EH made it out ok though. I adore that woman.
RobertCSampson on October 1, 2008 at 7:03 PM
Frankly, I have never seen any discernible evidence that would justify calling them ladies.
MB4 on October 1, 2008 at 7:03 PM
I just watched Sarah’s Miss Alaska talent performance. She’s a strong, talented, physically and mentally tough and intelligent. No wonder that gaggle of dingbat women on the left can’t stand her . . . she’s everything they can’t be.
rplat on October 1, 2008 at 7:05 PM
Well, hello Alphie.
Buford Gooch on October 1, 2008 at 7:05 PM
There is something surreal about a bunch of bimbos on The View deating whether or not the Governor of Alaska is qualified to be VP. What makes them so special? Who cares what they think?
I am a woman, and I have never watched the The View. I don’t know how they stay on the air, because I don’t know anyone who does.

Well I am glad you’ve weighed in with your insight. Why, dare I ask, do you think Elizabeth is “stupid”?
Your whole comment reminded me of seventh grade girls’ hallway chatter.
tru2tx on October 1, 2008 at 7:07 PM
Thank you, oh so much, for that visual.

infidel on October 1, 2008 at 7:08 PM
Oh, so Joy Blowhard is the only one who can be funny?
And all of her “staffers,” does this coven of witches not remember that Obama has THREE HUNDRED Foreign Affairs aides alone?
Oh, Whoopi… just where was Sarah’s mistake? Hmm? In pissing you off?
MsUnderestimated on October 1, 2008 at 7:10 PM
Please, please, please, please let McCain-Palin win just so I can watch this show Nov 5.
JustTruth101 on October 1, 2008 at 7:11 PM
What is ironic and amusing is that liberals who never deviate from their catechism never consider themselves unfair for being relentlessly opposed to their political rivals think that those rivals are biased when they don’t agree with them.
What an unexamined life they lead.
Tantor on October 1, 2008 at 7:12 PM
I’m sick of this.
Shut…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..UP!
1GooDDaDDy on October 1, 2008 at 7:13 PM
I would even make popcorn to watch. I can’t wait.
infidel on October 1, 2008 at 7:13 PM
You want to know what you are Barbara Walters you old hag? Huh? Huh? You don’t, I do, everyone does… you’re the daughter of a thousand fathers, all bastards like you.
Tuco on October 1, 2008 at 7:13 PM
I have it on MetaCafe video here.
MsUnderestimated on October 1, 2008 at 7:17 PM
I know some folks here don’t like Ann Coulter, but I happen to love her and I would have given a month’s pay to see Ann in Elisabeth’s place for this episode!!! Oh, the BLOOD bath! And I don’t mean Ann… the rest would require CPR and limb re-attachments. ;-)

Joy Behar is a heartbeat away from leading The View…
Geministorm on October 1, 2008 at 7:21 PM
I just threw up in my mouth…a lot…repeatedly. This country can’t survive this much stupidity. A termite colony could not survive this much stupidity.
ronsfi on October 1, 2008 at 7:22 PM
Sarah Palin has been running the state of Alaska.
And She is an expert in terms of energy.
And She has been in charge of the Alaska National Guard during a time of war.
However, She HASN’T banged any married Senators for a good long while, then written any tell-all books about it.
So Babs wins.
Teddy on October 1, 2008 at 7:23 PM
There are sooooo many shows I want to watch November 5th if McCain wins … The View being one. Elizabeth will be beaming. Maybe Joy’s head will have popped the nite before.
darwin on October 1, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Let Palin be a wild salmon…

Mr. Joe on October 1, 2008 at 7:26 PM
I don’t know what those women are thinking. If Obama wins, they won’t have a reason to do a show.
Ronnie on October 1, 2008 at 7:27 PM
The four cud chewing cows scream her down at every turn and when they do let her speak at the end, she answers their question and they have no answer except criticism.
csdeven on October 1, 2008 at 7:27 PM
You cannot make me watch this.
Well, maybe. First I need to get slobbering drunk.
JammieWearingFool on October 1, 2008 at 7:28 PM
I love Ann Coulter also. She adds just enough “Pepper” and brilliant genius wit to the conversation to make the whole thing tasty and palatable. Uh…she tends to “round out” the conversation.
CH on October 1, 2008 at 7:29 PM
And remember, the Code Pinko’s will be throwing themselves out windows.
BONUS!
csdeven on October 1, 2008 at 7:29 PM
That’s right!! I forgot!! If Obama wins flowers will bloom, the climate will never change, ice will remain static, no more hurricanes, when you wake up a rainbow will greet you every morning, and Starbucks will deliver TWO, freshly ground cups of joe to you in your bed.
darwin on October 1, 2008 at 7:30 PM
EXCELLENT!!!
darwin on October 1, 2008 at 7:31 PM
EH got a lot of applause when she shut those cows down.
I guess someone forgot to make sure all the IQ’s in the audience were below 70.
csdeven on October 1, 2008 at 7:34 PM
I honestly can’t watch those idiots so I skipped to Hasselbeck questioning Barry’s qualifications, kudos to her. I liked the response from some of the audience, obviously they are not all brain dead like most of Barry’s zombies.
Robyn S on October 1, 2008 at 7:35 PM
That would be at least two of us…
oldleprechaun on October 1, 2008 at 7:40 PM
Nice screen cap. She looks like there oughta be a cauldron boiling in front of her.
Didn’t read the thread or watch the vid yet – someone probably already said that, but man…from the screen cap on the main page, the whole set looks like a cave full of bats will fly across the screen any minute, and everybody in the audience will get a bite-sized Snickers bar.
