Elisabeth Hasselbeck thinks Kathy Griffin is 'not so funny'

Kathy Griffin stopped by "The View" on June 15 to promote the season premiere of "My Life on the D-List." Unsurprisingly, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck dished up a little bit of tension for the liberal, outspoken Griffin.Kathy's visit with the ladies was going well -- she discussed her mom's love of Bill O'Reilly and her trip to Wasilla, Alaska, with Levi Johnston. "When Sarah Palin was telling us that she should run the whole country the way she runs Wasilla, I just had to see for myself, and if you like crystal meth, you're gonna like Wasilla."
She and Levi stopped by Palin's home. "I will say we didn't get in. I don't mean to give a spoiler alert... however I will be honest and say that we didn't get in. There's no dinner invite coming, she didn't make any appetizers, not even mini quiches. I don't think she's a fan, although she probably would like my mother."
It wasn't until after that conversation that Hasselbeck got a bit, uh... prickly. (Surprise, surprise.) "You've said things about people here that are a) untrue and b) not so funny, so do you ever feel weird like coming here and sitting here and promoting things when you've said some stuff?" she asked.
Well if she didn't already, she probably does now, Elisabeth! Hasselbeck was likely referring to Griffin's 2008 interview with The Windy City Times, in which she said, "Elizabeth Hasselbeck has snowed American audiences into not knowing that she is a f***ing Survivor reject. I am sorry -- I am going to listen to the political beliefs of someone who wore wacky scarves on Survivor?
Actually, Kathy was cool as a cucumber. "This is what I live for, so bring it," she said. "This is how I write my act."
We wish Hasselbeck hadn't waited until the last two minutes of Kathy's segment to start swinging. If you're going to rumble with Kathy Griffin, at least leave enough time for her to get some good material for her stand-up!

You are an idiot Carina.
P.S. Kathy Griffin is not funny whatsoever.
I watched because I love Kathy and you could see EH on the corner of the screen sitting there fuming the whole time to the buildup. I am fine with her having her views and getting the opposing points out; for me it is just that she is so whiny and screechy when she does so and it is hard to take in. I am so glad she jumped in....can't wait to see it in the next Kathy special!
Looks like Hasselbeck has met her match...good comeback Kathy!!!!
I actually will agree with Elizabeth. Kathy isnt even funny. The D-list is where she stays.
Why doesnt Kathy ever make fun of her own herpes?
This was so fantastic, Kathy really held her own. Elisabeth looked like a 3 year old pouting through the whole interview. Love it!!!
Elizabeth has stockholm syndrome.
Kathy has a show because she kisses gay arse not because she is funny.
Sometimes Kathy does go a little too far but it's comedy, it's Hollywood. Not everyone likes her as not everyone likes Elisabeth. Get over yourself though Elisabeth. a)act mature and more importantly b)be professional. She looked like a spoiled brat sitting there pouting.
You'd think most women would know not to get in a verbal war with Kathy...first, you'll never shock or catch her off guard, and second, she feasts on snobby, ego-centric, all too serious celebs like EH. It was very cowardly, yet clever on EH's part to save her attack until the end of the segment...too bad she didn't have the guts to take Kathy on right off the bat...now that would have been entertaining!!!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is soo stupid! Why is she still on the View? I hate watching it because of her! She is beyond unprofessional. If you don't care for one of your guests, oh well, do your job as a co-host and complete the segment like an adult! Ugh, she needs to be fired!!!
