This morning on THE VIEW: Kathy Griffin vs. Elisabeth Hasselback

Anyone catch it?

I know Griffin has her share of both fans and haters on the board, but regardless of what you think of her, I think Elisabeth was an idiot to open her mouth (as always).

A little context please?

Did she get a pap smear?

What was Kathy Griffin doing on The View? I thought she was banned?

I haven't watched it yet, but I found part one...

She is no longer banned.

I nodded off during the exchange during the second part of the interview. What happened? I know something happened because Kathy said something like "Anything else to say Elisabeth?".

My friend said that Kathy hugged everyone except Elisabeth when she came on. He is going to watch the part I missed and tell me what happened.

She isn't banned...but she's made it very clear that Barbara is always conveniently absent whenever she's on.

Since Capn has not replied about giving context and details about her appearance (I thought she was still on his re-re-ban too), I will shoot a (couple) dart(s) and guess what it was:

It was about what Kathy wrote in her memoirs and Hasselbeck brought up the most personal parts in the book.

or...

It was about the gulf oil spill and EH wanted to pounce on Obama's speech tonight exclaiming that this is his Katrina and that the media should be outraged. Kathy fights back and away we go.

EDIT: Apparently since Barbara was conveniently absent, EH believed she should be attack dog and Kathy just brushed her off like a grain of dandruff.

Elisabeth is sitting there pouting throughout the first 5 minutes.

[Mister Matt]

Posted: 6/15/10 at 2:43pm

I haven't watched the second part yet, but it is very clear from her face that Elisabeth wants nothing to do with Kathy AT ALL. She looks positively disgusted at Kathy sitting among them. Which of course means Kathy is going to address her most controversial topics/verbiage directly to Elisabeth as often as possible. Elisabeth is playing right into Kathy's hands and Kathy doesn't even need to try. It's like Elisabeth has no absolutely idea who this mystery guest could be!

The episode isn't up yet on the show's website. Should be up later or tomorrow morning.

Elizabeth looks like she's passing a stone!

I watched the link Mister Matt posted and part 2 is up.Other than Elizabeth pouting and giving Kathy dirty looks, I didn't see anything wrong with it. Kathy was funny and Elizabeth looked like a spoiled brat. What else is new?

I absolutely LOVED it.

Elisabeth thought she would pompously bully Kathy to apologize for (paraphrasing) "saying things that are a. not true and b. unfunny about people here, so what would you say to that?" to which Kathy replied " This is a moment i live for so please bring it" Elisabeth scolds "Kathy...." and Kathy does not relent. I may have not quoted it perfectly but it was great. Elisabeth all but crossed her arms and threw a pouty faced stomp. When they came back Elisabeth was visably still seething. Sherri mentioned it too but also undersands comics. I say, "Elisabeth and Sherri (sometimes) if you weren't idiots a lot of the time, no one would make fun of you"

I missed the link. Thanks Matt! I missed more than I thought. Elisabeth really shows how unprofessional she can be. It was more than obvious that she was annoyed to have Kathy on the couch.

That was fun.

Needless to say, the message boards over on The View's site are discussing it. here is my favorite:

"Maybe her daughter, Grace, needs to talk to Mommy and let her know that she should apologize...AGAIN!! Keeping her mother in line is becoming a lot of responsibility for this little girl!!"

I wonder if Elisabeth would've went there if Whoopi had been there. Whoopi loves her some Kathy.

[CapnHook]

Posted: 6/15/10 at 4:06pm

Elisabeth also commented that she didn't want to say anything to Kathy because it would "feed" her, but ELISABETH SAID SOMETHING! And it fed Kathy. And Kathy won.

Elisabeth Hasselbitch is an idiot.

"If you like crystal meth, you're gonna like Wasilla."

Midwest, that line was hysterical.

I was wondering the same thing about Whoopie being there. I wonder if she saw it?
