I tape The View every day, but only watch it occasionally when there’s a guest I want to see because Elisabeth Hasselbeck just bugs the sh*t out of me. It’s not her views, which I don’t agree with, it’s the way she expresses just about every opinion, even the rare ones I do agree with, in this rapid fire vehement way that leaves no room for discussion. She’s rude and interrupts and just won’t shut up. She also gets mad at the slightest perceived slight. Like when Senator Evan Bayh was on after his resignation she jumped down his throat for making a harmless reference to Sarah Palin writing on her hand, something that Palin herself later made fun of. Hasselbeck is just over the top and she’s always rallying against something.
That’s why I find it kind of inevitable that ESPN anchorwoman Erin Andrews is calling her out for a really obnoxious comment about one of Erin’s outfits on Dancing with The Stars. Erin was the victim of a stalker who followed her around the country, taped her nude without her consent and posted the video online. She’s been outspoken about how violated that made her feel, and how devastated she is that the tape still exists for anyone to see. Hasselbeck thinks that’s funny somehow, and made the snide comment that Andrews’ outfit was so small that her stalker must have thought “Man! I just could’ve waited 12 weeks and seen this – a little bit less – without the prison time!” Andrews’ stalker received two and a half years in prison after his sentencing in March. It came out that he’d victimized at least 16 other women. Andrews called Hasselbeck’s remarks “a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators.” If you watch the video of Hasselbeck saying this, (it’s above and on YouTube) it’s all the more offensive as she’s so self righteous about it.
Erin Andrews‘s waltz on Monday with her Dancing with the Stars partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy was her “best dance yet,” according to judge Bruno Tonioli. But when the ESPN sportscaster found herself the topic of discussion on The View Tuesday morning, she was none too pleased.
Host Elisabeth Hasselbeck criticized Andrews — who has faced two separate stalking incidents in the past year — for dressing inappropriately on Dancing.
“In light of what happened and as a legal [matter] — and as inexcusable as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her hotel room,” Hasselbeck said. “I mean, in some way if I’m him, I’m like, ‘Man! I just could’ve waited 12 weeks and seen this — a little bit less — without the prison time!’”
In March, a man was sentenced to federal prison for filming Andrews through a hotel peephole and posting nude video of her on the Internet. In April, after beginning her stint on Dancing, Andrews received emailed death threats.
Following the DWTS results show Tuesday night, Andrews told PEOPLE Hasselbeck’s remarks were “a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators.”
Andrews, who was “very shocked” about the comments, continued: “The thing that I was most upset about is I felt she was mocking a situation,” she said. “As a mother and a woman, I’m disappointed she went there.”

There was absolutely no reason for Hasselbeck to bring up what happened to Andrews while complaining that her dresses were too skimpy. Those things are completely unrelated. What if Andrews were a rape victim, would Hasselbeck realize then how inappropriate it was to connect those two events? She’s no mental giant that’s for sure. Plus it’s not like Andrews dresses any differently, or in less clothing, than Pamela Anderson, Nicole Scherzinger, or any of the other female competitors or dancers on the show.
The View was just on in my area and I doubt that there was enough time prior to this report being published for Hasselbeck to eat crow and apologize. I’m not going to sit through the whole thing to find out, either. As much as I love Whoopi she just can’t compensate for Hasselbeck and they need to get that foolish harpie off the panel. They need a smart conservative like Meghan McCain to balance out the panel. (I realize that she’s not as conservative, but she’s the first name I could come up with.)
I can picture Barbara looking at Hasselbeck with her pinched little face and spitting that she needs to apologize. That’s the only reason Hasselbeck is still on that show – she kisses Babwa’s ass regularly.
Update: Of course Elisabeth tearfully apologized, dame Barbara looking down on her the entire time. People has the video. That’s what I get for being lazy and not bothering to watch. Unlike Elisabeth, I’m not too sorry for that. There’s only so much of that woman I can take.
