Elisabeth Hasselbeck annoys me!

[Beth76]

Was that before or after Rosie asked who the terrorists were? If she was not implying "we" were the terrorists, who did she mean?

I took her comment to mean that the Iraqi people probably feel that we (the United States government and/or soldiers) are terrorists. She was trying to get EH to see things from the perspective of people in Iraq. She has always been supportive of the troops.

Who is she??? A talk host?

 

[LakeAriel]

I just watched Monday's video again because I wanted to be sure that we didn't see something different and you are correct. She did ask EH once and then they both kept talking and they got side tracked and she never answered it that day.

She then asked her again on Wednesday as well as we all know by now.

Sorry!

Thank you!

EH is a bold faced liar...I just found out they did not speak this weekend at all! What we previously posted was it..A phone call to Kelly and an Email..end of story.

Rosie is a fat blow hole. Good Riddance!!!

Why be crude about it. I'm not a Rosie fan, but I believe she is entitled to her opinion. I don't like that she talks loud and above people who disagree, I think that is incredibly rude. Her weight has nothing to do with it.

What did Elisabeth lie about?
They talked via email and she called Rosie's house but didn't tlak to Rosie directly

Rosie was hurt. She was BEGGING Elisabeth to just come out and admit that what the Fox people (that EH defends to hell and back as being "fair and balanced") were misrepresenting her views.

If you reduce it to high school friendship level, basically what happened is Elisabeth is stuck on being accepted by the "cool group" (Hannity et al), which spend a good amount of their time making fun of and lying about Elisabeth's friend Rosie. Rosie finally gets fed up enough to want ask for the record if Elisabeth agrees with the people who are saying unfair things about her. Elisabeth then says "You're on your own - don't drag me into this."

When your friend is hanging out with the people spreading lies about you... and then won't contradict their lies... what do you do?

Elisabeth wants to have it both ways -- decorate cupcakes and giggle about the kids with Rosie on The View, and go on FoxNews and suck up to the same people who are savaging her. A simple "We disagree on politics and I think she's 100% wrong on most issues, but Rosie's a great person and my friend" would have been fine. The problem is... Fox only needed Elisabeth because it was a way to get to Rosie. So that was not acceptable to them, and she knew it. If she wants to play at their house, the price is stabbing a friend in the back. The fact that it was so easy for her says all you need to know about her character.

I agree.

Elisabeth made it sound today like they had been working towards forgiveness via email. It sounded like they were in the process of making up. I don't believe it for a minute. EH has stabbed Rosie in the back and I don't blame her if she doesn't want to buddy up again. I hope they can forgive each other since that is healing (and remember, I think they were both rude and should both say they are sorry), but I wouldn't want to be friends with EH. She was more than rude.

I just listened to today's show again. Elizabeth said they were in communication alot this weekend working toward forgiveness. BS. Elizabeth called and spoke to Kelly last week..Rosie Emailed her back, Elizabeth responded and Rosie said she will not be talking with her again.

 

[m&m's mom]

I'm a little out of the loop and just watched the clip on U-Tube today after my morning radio show was talking about it.

My take is that Rosie wanted to hear Elizabeth say that EH doesn't believe that Rosie thinks the troops are terrorists. Then Rosie wanted to know why she couldn't say that on her Fox shows instead of keeping quiet. Seems like a logical progression to me and one that I would follow for a friend.

And really does anyone believe that anyone thinks the troops are terrorists? Even the most outspoken war opponents and Bush bashers don't think that. It's pretty crappy to say that about anyone to begin with.

No offense but you must not be a regular viewer. Rosie said it - Rosie needs to explain it. Why in the world is it EH's responsibility to rescue Rosie?

 

[m&m's mom]

Here's the thing. I do not truly believe there was any way for EH to "stand up" for Rosie. I believe Rosie hung herself and instead of being an adult and explaining HERSELF what SHE meant, she was looking for EH to get her off the hook.
Rosie has never held back on her criticisms and if she did not mean her statement about the "terrorists", it was up to her to explalin what she did mean. In the whole tirade I was just thinking "Tell everyone what you meant and the issue will die down". But, becasue she did not is completely escalated.
Rosie can only legitimately blame Rosie.

I thought I was loosing it. I was wondering how this thread was still at the same place but at a different time.

I'll double post too!

You have it all wrong. Rosie asked EH on Monday or tues do you think I think the troops are terrorist. EH would not say yes or no...it was very weird. Then on wed Rosie asked over & over Do you think I think the troops are terrorist she would not answer until Rosie gave her no choice to say yes or no. EH was playing a game with her. I do not know why but I think I smell a Fox show in her future.

You have to be joking. Read the transcript. Elisabeth tried to answer Rosie as soon as Rosie asked. Rosie was too busy tunning her mouth to notice. I guess you were too busy listening to Rosie to notice

Take the Rosie colored glasses off

Rosie wanted a YES or NO answer, simple as that, EH couldn't do just that, she wanted to add her usual double talk. That's why Rosie kept interupting her. I guess EH didn't understand the question.

I thought it was deja-vu all over again.

 

[GoofieRuthie]

I don't think Rosie gave a squat what the media thought about her. She wasn't asking EH to "rescue" her at all. She wanted to know if her "friend" believed what the media was saying. Hence, her asking repeatedly, "Do YOU think that I feel that way, Elisabeth????" That is what hurt her. That her "friend" would think she meant what the media was saying.

Also, something that has been bugging me. Everyone (not sure if it's this thread or the trillion others ones) says that Sheri kept trying to go to break and Rosie wouldn't let her. That's not true. When Sheri said something about going to break Rosie told her no, because they still have lots of time. She said it very putoffedly (not a word, but couldn't think of one that fit). She would have loved for it to be a commercial, I'm sure, but the powers that be weren't about to do that at that moment.

 

[Alicnwondrln]

I also found it interesting that SH says they are talking but Rosie says they arent
I think EH is just trying to spin it

 

[sha_lyn]

double standards at it's finest once again. Someone makes a rude comment about Rosie and the PC police cry foul. Make rude comments about Elisabeth and the same people are mute.
So it is OK to insult a beautiful conservative, but it is not OK to insult an over weight lesbian liberal.
No wonder we keep going around on this. Many of Rosie's supporters have double standards. They want everyone but themselves to play by their rules.
