Yesterday Fox & Friends launched a Twitter hashtag that backfired rather amusingly.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Rosie O'Donnell Has Spit In The Face Of America's Military

Former View co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck is so upset about Rosie O'Donnell's reported return that she called into Fox News this morning to scream about it. In her opening tirade, Hasselbeck says, "Talk about not securing the border! Here in comes to The View the very woman who spit in the face of our military."

Hasselbeck Canned From The View?

One day after the announcement that Joy Behar is leaving The View comes rumors that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has been fired from the show due to audience displeasure with her conservative opinions.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is being fired from "The View," according to Us Weekly.  Quoting anonymous sources, the magazine reported Friday that the conservative co-host is following Joy Behar out the door after market researchers found that her political views were clashing with the audience. "People did not watch the show because of Elisabeth. So they told her yesterday her contract would not be renewed," a source told Us Weekly. That report followed a Deadline piece which said that her future on the ABC show was "unclear."

Hasselbeck joined the show ten years ago. If the rumors are true, watch for her to pop up on Fox News.

Griffin Vs. Hasselbeck

During Kathy Griffin's appearance on the View yesterday, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck basically ignored Griffin during her entire 15-minute bit, except to occasionally roll her eyes or make other disdainful expressions. Finally at the end of the second clip below, they get into it.

Quote Of The Day - Elisabeth Hasselbeck

"Some people are saying, well, this is a day late and a dollar short, where were you when you could have said something earlier? And in terms of gay marriage, I think there are a lot of, maybe, conservatives out there who are talking about gay marriage and not necessarily with someone who wants to have gay marriage or has been in a gay marriage.

"You know, I had Melissa Etheridge over, we had dinner, we talked for hours about gay marriage, and I would really challenge people: Get out there. Instead of just talking about it and hating on it, actually talk to someone who’s loved someone else and have the conversation about what can be done." - Elisabeth Hasselbeck, responding on The View to Laura Bush's recent support of gay marriage.

Media Reacts To Adam Lambert's American Music Awards Performance

Yesterday the ladies of The View discussed Adam Lambert's controversial performance on the American Music Awards. Unsurprisingly, it was Elisa Hasselbeck who went off of Lambert. (Transcription via Towleroad.)

"It seemed to be a sexual aggression that came across in the performance. Now, does anyone know what song he sang? Does anyone remember what he sounded like? Because, let me tell you this. This is the mistake Adam Lambert will make time and time again. We will not remember him as a performer or someone with a voice if he continues to do things like this. So smarten up, and sing."

ABC reports receiving over 1500 complaints so far.

Complaints poured in Monday about Adam Lambert's sexually charged performance at the American Music Awards, including criticism of his kiss with a male keyboard player that was left out of rehearsals for the show. ABC did not expect one of Lambert's dancers to stick his face in the singer's crotch during the S&M-themed performance of "For Your Entertainment," a moment that was cut out when the awards show was broadcast on a tape-delayed basis on the West Coast on Sunday.

During a rehearsal last week that an AP reporter attended, Lambert thrust a male dancer's face toward his crotch, though the dancer did not get as close to Lambert in the rehearsal as he did on Sunday night. At one point during rehearsals, Lambert also caressed a male dancer's upside-down face, but he kept his hands off the dancer's cheeks Sunday night. "A lot of what I do is kind of freestyle," the singer told The Associated Press last week about the routine's choreography. "That's how it was on 'Idol.' That's how I perform. I like to have a framework, and just do stuff. So that kind of came about because of the connection that I had with that dancer."

Rolling Stone loved it.

Adam Lambert aimed for the kind of controversy Britney Spears and Madonna are known for generating, completely stunning the audience at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre and the millions watching the American Music Awards live on ABC with a risqué rendition of “For Your Entertainment.” Rolling Stone didn’t label Lambert the Wild Idol for nothing, and Glambert definitely delivered on his promise of a “sexy” performance as he closed the live show with simulated oral sex from a male backup dancer, a brief make-out session with his male keyboardist and a giant mirrored prop so the audience could see the looks on their own shocked faces. Rolling Stone has learned that producers weren’t informed about the guy-on-guy kiss in advance, and after the show, Lambert told RS the musician he kissed is a straight man.

Adam Lambert thinks the controversy reflects a double-standard.

“It’s a shame because I think that there’s a double standard going on in the entertainment community right now,” Lambert tells RS backstage after the show at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre. “Female performers have been doing this for years — pushing the envelope about sexuality — and the minute a man does it, everybody freaks out. We’re in 2009; it’s time to take risks, be a little more brave, time to open people’s eyes and if it offends them, then maybe I’m not for them. My goal was not to piss people off, it was to promote freedom of expression and artistic freedom.” If ABC opts not to broadcast several of the more risqué moments of “For Your Entertainment” in a few moments, “In a roundabout way it’s a form of discrimination because it is a double standard,” Lambert says. “They didn’t censor Britney and Madonna macking onstage did they? But yet two men kissing they’ll censor?” The famous 2003 Video Music Awards moment Lambert is referring to went down on cable television — on MTV, of course — rather than network television.

The View Slams Joe The Plumber

Even Elizabeth Hasselbeck chimes saying, "Joe The Plumber is not invited anywhere around ME," referring to his statement that he wouldn't let his children be around his mythical gay friends.

Prejean Rumored To Join The View

According to the National Enquirer, producers of The View want Carrie Prejean to replace Elizabeth Hasselbeck as House Wingnut when Hasselbeck goes on maternity leave later this year.

“Elisabeth really has something to worry about,” said a show source, who revealed that while Dizzie Lizzie’s on maternity leave, Walters will audition, as her fill-in, the new right-wing babe on the block – Miss USA runner-up Carrie Prejean, who made national headlines with her “no gay marriage” bombshell during the pageant. And it could turn into a permanent gig for the controversial beauty queen, say show insiders, because Barbara’s seriously fed up with Elisabeth’s coo-coo conserva-babble – and her looney-toon responses to co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Sheppard, and Joy Behar.

You wouldn't think anybody could be worse than Hasselbeck, would you?

Etheridge Takes On Hasselbeck

On The View yesterday, Melissa Etheridge called out Elizabeth Hasselbeck for misleading viewers about the ramifications of marriage equality, then asked Hasselbeck directly for her personal opinion on the issue. Surprisingly, Hasselbeck allowed that "the rights should be equal" but added that the Prop 8 vote should stand.

The Answer To Conservapedia

I love Dickipedia.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck (née Filarski; born May 28, 1977) is a former reality show contestant—not even the winner, mind you, or even the runner-up—who somehow became co-host of one of the most popular daytime talk shows of all time, and a dick. Though not especially well informed, Hasselbeck is, nonetheless, an irritatingly vocal supporter of conservative viewpoints. Also, she bears a striking resemblance to one of those “It’s a Small World” animatronic robots they have at Disneyland, if those robots were programmed by Sean Hannity.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a panelist on The View, the program that pioneered the format of four women jabbering over each other for an hour and a half, interspersed with commercials for Boniva and a special kind of yogurt that promises to regulate your bowels. In this capacity, Hasselbeck’s main duties involve baiting the other panelists to drop the F-bomb on national TV and attaining a level of shrillness that would make most testicles re-ascend. Of course, anyone with external genitalia really has no business watching The View, so it would serve them right.

Because she enjoys such incredible exposure, many liberals consider Elisabeth Hasselbeck one of the country’s most dangerous conservatives. They might be on to something. As it has been proven time and again, Americans love them a televised idiot. In late October 2008, Whoopi Goldberg revealed that Elisabeth Hasselbeck receives more death threats than any other View panelist. That must be an awful lot of death threats.

Rush Limbaugh's is pretty great too.

Whoopi Talks About Last Night

Whoopi Goldberg opened The View today by recapping her experience at last night's protest in NYC. And of course, Elizabeth Hasselbeck jumps in to say that gays are expressing prejudice against religion.

Irony Overload: Hottie Reality Show Contestant Complains About Sexism

The Irony Meter flashed into "You've GOT To Be Kidding Me" territory when a certain reality show contestant complained about the sexist treatment of Sarah Palin by the media. Because reality shows never cast model-perfect young women to cavort nearly naked around the Australian outback. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is only on that stage because she worked the sexist system that she now complains about. People in glass tube tops shouldn't throw coconuts. Or whatever it is that falls out the trees in Australia.
