The 'Diva' and the 'reality show queen' do not have a whole brain between them. Let's get them in a real debate (either one) and see how they do when they have to get off their talking points. 'Using her Brain'....right!

Hasselback is a lame. I tried to listen to her at the Palin rally and had to turn the channel. This woman is a Palin wannabe with blond hair. Her voice alone makes my stomach turn.

the irony that Hasselbeck actually USES her brain

Elizabeth should keep her politics off the show. This reminds me of when the Red Sox won the World Series and Shilling announced that everyone should get out to vote and 'to vote for Bush'. TV talk shows and sporting events are inappropriate venues for endorsing candidates.

Hasselbeck is as talented at parroting memorized slogans and sound bites as Palin is.

HasselWho?

Anyone who has done their homework on McCain would know he is unfit for the office, just like he was unfit to fly jets (review his plane crash records). I don't like Obama either (and no the Obama campaign did not alter John McCain's Navy service record showing he was at fault for more than one of his crashes)- but he is the lesser of two evils in this case for sure. McCain's time for honoring himself is soon going to end.

Now...she has brains? I think she might be 'qualify' to be VP as well.

There's no doubt Hasselbeck is using her brain to vote the McCain Palin ticket. It's just evidence of her way below average intelligence.

If Hesselbeck thinks Palin is a great pick for VP then she is just as SCARY as Palin! Palin is shallow, superficial and scary. Colin Powell specifically expressed his concern with the judgement of Palin and that judgement could being just 'one heartbeat away from the presidency'. That makes her too scary to vote for McCain!

Poor Elizabeth,

She goes to the Republican Convention and publicly insults Michelle Obama and accuses her of 'hiding things', after she was all smiles and graciousness to her face. Then she goes to a public rally with Palin and insults her co-hosts from her job.

And she expects no blow-back?

Maybe I missed it, but I have not seen a single incident where any of the co-hosts have gone out publicly and so much as mentioned Hasselbeck in a negative way. In fact, no matter how outrageous her statements on the show have been, it's obvious that her co-hosts try mightily not to engage her with insults, but to explain things to her - not that she has made any attempt to listen.

So, Hasselbeck, in typical spoiled brat, arrogant, self-indulgent Republican style, expects everyone to bow down to her no matter how rude and unprofessional she is.

I think Walters would have dumped her awhile ago except for the fact that people keep watching the show to see the long slow implosion of Hasselbeck's limited intellectual skills.

Hasselbeck has two characteristics that make her the perfect Palin supporter: a severly flawed character and a deficit of critical thinking skills.

LOL - Keep her politics off the View - What a joke since the others on the show never voice political views. Typical Kool-Aid drinker postings.

Her claim to fame is she was a winner (I think) on the reality show, 'The Survivor'. She acts like a spoiled, stamp-my-foot if I don't get my way gal. Why on earth would she be a good campaigner for Palin. Oh...wait a minute - she's the perfect one - two of a kind.

indeed..

and the scary part is how blindly she buys it (seemingly) just for the sake of it. Nonsense with feet.

Can we please verify first that the Hasseler actually has a brain? We already know she doesn't have a heart. Off to see the wizard.
