Tell us how you really feel, Elisabeth!Following up their icy exchange from last month, "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has thrown another jab Kathy Griffin's way, calling her "scum" when she was brought up on the July 19 show.
On Griffin's "My Life on the D-List," she makes an unfortunate joke that Senator Scott Brown's two daughters are prostitutes. Hasselbeck and Whoopi Goldberg agreed that the joke was in poor taste.
"If someone went around calling Barack Obama's two girls prostitutes, people would be up in arms... You defend your daughters against scum who come after them," Hasselbeck says, prompting Goldberg to say, "If somebody talked about my daughter as a joke like that, I would beat their ass."
Whoops?
Joy Behar didn't see the point in getting heated up about it. "I know my daughter's not a prostitute, so it'd be funny," she said. "It's just a joke, Elisabeth.
What do you think of the clip from Griffin's show?

Elisabeth is so GD annoying. She needs to go away. I cannot stand her.
America: Hasselbeck is 'a dumbass'
I am not a fan of Elisabeth's by any means and I certainly do not agree with her about politics (not that I am a liberal ... I'm a moderate and I don't care for either side of the aisle when they get into the extreme, which is what she does on the right), but she was absolutely right here!
Yup. Kathy Griffin is scum. She's a no-talent hack who gets attention by being audacious and offensive, and people in this country can't tell the difference between that and actual humor, so she's able to make a living at it...
Elisabeth your **** dont stink... you think your so much better than everybody, come home from survivor marry a football player get get your own tv show and now you just seem to know everything...why dont you just shut up...
Filarsky Hasselbeck is a woman with no sense of humor and an Ann Coulter disposition. She knew her comment would get press coverage and give her the kind of publicity she craves...as a hero for the indignant right-wing. How can a girl from Pennsylvania who craved the spotlight, originally from SURVIVOR, then a E Channel fashion show, to her current gig on THE VIEW,defend her choice to become semi-famous as an E List personality? She can't. Kathy loves this kind of publicity. She will turn it into 10 minutes in her next stand-up gig!!!
Elisabeth needs to chill. Let's remember, she got her start as nothing more than a "Survivor" contestant, where folks like Kathy Griffen, and the rest of the "View" panel, have worked their *** off for years in TV and movies.
I agree with Elisabeth. Kathy
sounds like SCUM.
All children of politicians, no matter what party or political ideology, should be "off limits" to all comedians/social comentators. No one should use Barack Obama's daughters as subjects for jokes and Scott Brown's daughters should command the same respect.
When the Bush daughters put themselves in the cross hairs of the comedians by their actions, they was totally fair game. What did Scott Brown's daughters do to be called prostitutes by Kathy Griffin?
If you're gonna critize Kathy Griffin, then be fair and show the WHOLE clip as was shown on the show with the funny disclaimer right after the remark!
