I missed her appearance on Hannity & Colmes last night, but having just seen the appearance on YouTube I have to say - she's killin' me.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck has been a refreshing voice and face in the muck over at the view. I am frequently discouraged that she is not nearly quick enough in thinking on her feet while going up against Rosie. So when I saw that she had been on H&C I thought it would be a refreshing thing as well...
I can't tell you how disappointed I am with the sloppy thinking and one-step capitulation she gives in to.
I agree that the marketplace did "speak". Sponsors were already signifying that they would be pulling the plug and MSNBC along with CBS have obligations to stockholders.
Where I found Hasselbeck heading into La-La-Land was when she refused to hold Rosie O'Donnell (perhaps one of the most vile people in media today) to the same standard as Imus.
Hasselbeck is a kind hearted person. She seems to desire to be a principled conservative. But she does not have the gravitas to stare-down Rosie and for her to pretend on H&C that she does verges on ridiculous.
