A Major Cat Fight Breaks Out On ‘The View’

THE ROSIE AND ELISABETH FEUD GOT UGLY THIS MORNING

Check out this video of Wednesday’s verbal sparring match between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  Rosie has been pissed since Monday when Elisabeth refused to come out and say she whether or not she actually believes that Rosie thinks the U.S. troops in Iraq are terrorists.  What started out as a Bush bashing segment (initiated by Joy Behar reading a list of the president’s mistakes) eventually turned into a shouting match between the co-hosts.

Enjoy…

The producers made a mistake by letting the argument go on for that long without going to a commercial.  This will either spill over to tomorrow’s show or be forgotten like most of the other arguments they have had since Rosie joined the program last September.  One thing is for sure, cable news knuckle-heads like Joey Scarborough and Bill O’Reilly are going to have a field day with this exchange.

Even better than the argument was the way Alicia Silverstone dissed Elisabeth when she came out after the commercial. 

Jerry Falwell: 1933-2007

THE LEADER OF THE MORAL MAJORITY JOINS THE MORTAL MAJORITY 

This morning, puffy evangelist Jerry Falwell was found dead in his office at Liberty University.  I am no doctor, but one look at a recent picture of the man would have told you his days on this planet were numbered.  Forgive me if I forgo the fake reverence one is expected to extend to the recently departed.  Jerry Falwell was a buffoon who claimed to be a Christian, yet he never missed an opportunity to exploit national tragedies for his own political gain.

Although he sometimes used the title “Doctor,” Falwell held no earned doctorate. He held three honorary degrees: an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Tennessee Temple Theological Seminary, an honorary Doctor of Letters from California Graduate School of Theology (an unaccredited institution), and an honorary Doctor of Laws from Central University in Seoul, South Korea (an unaccredited institution).  Those facts didn’t prevent his friends from referring to him as Doctor Falwell when they announced his death at a press conference this morning.
