Mumbles December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 Bitsy won't let this prayer thing go. She's on her instagram posting Bible verses - nothing wrong with that, if that's your thing - but then adds sanctimoniously, "I PRAY - even for those who don't want us to." Oh please. Nobody doesn't want anyone not to pray (maybe Richard Dawkins but that's another story). A lot of people just think that prayer alone isn't going to help anything. These sanctimonious holy rollers like Bitsy (but not all people of faith) get all self-righteous about prayer. When Christopher Hitchens, a vocal atheist, was dying, people used to send him letters that they were praying for him (some of them meant it, but I bet some were trying to troll him). A journalist asked what he thought of that. He said that if they were doing it because they were wishing him well, how could he get mad at that? But if they were praying to try to get him to change his mind, he added, they were out of luck. Bitsy may think she's getting in all these mean old atheists' grill, but I'm sure she'd be pissed how little they care about her little show. 7 Link to comment
Cosmocrush December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 From the Ask Ro section of Rosie O'Donnell's blog: Sue writes: DO you think it's possible that Elizabeth Hasselebeck quit Fox because she couldn't bring herself to support Trump when he started saying we should kill the families of our enemies, whole families. I don't like Elizabeth, but I doubt she would call for the killing of entire families. Maybe she finally realized she was selling her soul to FOX. no Heh. I do love Rosie O'Donnell. 15 Link to comment
TribbleTrouble December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 Oh Lizzie, it's not a criticism of prayer. It's criticism of those offering empty platitudes instead of action, particularly lawmakers who have the power to actually do something but fear the NRA more than they care about the people they allegedly serve. 9 Link to comment
tenativelyyours December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 I'm actually glad to hear Hasslebeck point out that simply relying on prayer should be the way to go. Now maybe she and the rest of the dumbasses at Fox can stop bleating about the so-called War on Christmas and instead go find some quiet out the way place and simply pray those Starbucks red cups away. I would love to put her on a lie detector test and ask her when was the last time she truly prayed. Outside of being able to keep her job. And by prayer I don't mean asking her god to punish other people she simply does not like. 'Cause I'm guessing Hasslebeck is a queen of ill wishing i.e. cursing. No. I'm talking about actual prayer. And while on the lie detector test, I would love to ask her if she considers her new unemployment to be a prayer answered and not just having her part pity hire part Ailes hiring yet another media misfit who got the toss (Dick Morris, Juan Carlos etc) as a thumbing of the nose attempt to show how fair and balanced Fox News is; reach it's sell by date. I don't for one minute believe anything but Hasslebeck was leaving the end of this year as long ago as when Ailes offered her the job in the first place. Carlson was promised her own show more than year before we even heard a rumor this was all happening in regards to Hasslebeck, or even Walters' 'retirement'. The timing of ABC forcing Walters out and the planned firing of Hasslebeck was just right for Ailes to do what he loves to do. Hire the so called pariah of the Liberal elite. She might have had a slim chance to stay based on raising ratings and bringing in a new demographic. My best case scenario is that Ailes was going to give her another chance with another year and the Murdoch sons saw her as a battle they could win over Ailes and said "nope; not happening'. Just because. And that is why she has looked so gutted no matter how she tries to spin this as her choice. 9 Link to comment

tenativelyyours December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 Plus she has always followed the notion that you can quantify faith, patriotism. That it can be measured, weighed and found wanting. Well, by "it" I mean everyone but herself and the people she deems "just like her". Everyone else is either less because their faith etc is found wanting or even if it is "enough", like her stance on gay marriage when on the View, it still is not as good as hers because yours had to be weighed and measured in the first place. You know, it is too late in the game now, but too bad when the rare liberal was allowed to open his or her mouth when facing Hasslebeck on Fox and Friends, one of them didn't simply turn to her and say "you are for gay marriage equality aren't you? I heard you bragging about it on the The View over and over again and how you were more in favor than Obama was". Completely apropos. Doesn't matter if they were talking ISIS or gun control or whatever. Sigh. I'm kind of sad we didn't get to see her get her ass chapped on her ideology for hire attitude. Especially sitting on the couch at the best job ever working for the best man ever. 6 Link to comment

Fisher King December 6, 2015 Share December 6, 2015 (edited) Colin Quinn. He was an MTV game show host and the weekend anchor on Saturday Night Live in the '90s. He's someone who tends to be an acquired taste, too hip and esoteric to be mainstream. People pride themselves on being his fans, if that makes sense. I liked Colin okay on SNL. There does seem to be something "superior" or snobbish about him. Not sure how to say it. The comedian Brett Butler (Grace Under Fire) did endear him to me somewhat when she wrote that Colin helped save her life - and career - from the throes of drug addiction. I never got a chance to see Joy's show. Seems like it would be fun. I know she can be short and direct at times, and I agree with everyone who says she is what makes Susie Essman tolerable. Dammit, I just read what RO wrote at her site about Joy being a cog behind the split screen with Bits. After witnessing that on the day it happened, I just can't see it at all. Who knows. Wonder if RO is miffed that Joy is back on the show. I'm in total agreement with TheGreenKnight's last post upthread regarding that Rosie wears her heart on her sleeve and that's quite off-putting for some. I admit it made me nervous watching and waiting for her tipping point on The Spew last season. Edited December 7, 2015 by Fisher King 3 Link to comment
juno December 8, 2015 Share December 8, 2015 The split screen show was the last one I watched. I remember Joy coming to the table with papers that she slammed on the table which were a list of reasons why Bush should be tried for war crimes. After she read out the list, Bits went nuts. This came day(s) after she slammed Rosie's comments about the troops. Gas meet lighter. As much as I like Joy and as much as I can't belive it, I totally believe she helped set up the fight, but I also believe she tried to stop it. But I still to this day believe she helped pushed both bulls out of the barn. 3 Link to comment
Mumbles December 8, 2015 Share December 8, 2015 Yeah, this is the first and last time I remember anyone coming out on this show with papers.

tenativelyyours December 9, 2015 Share December 9, 2015 I think Joy is smart, likes the paycheck and is a bit lazy. When the Rosie thing went down, I think Joy wasn't a planned part. But I think before it was over she saw how it was going down and went into a defensive mode. And basically hid. I saw that in her years post Rosie as Hasslebeck over and over again said outright lies and Joy would refuse to engage. I think there were actually times that Hasslebeck saw Joy as the next to take down. In fact I recall when Hasslebeck thought to piss to mark her territory when Whoopi came on and Whoopi pushed back and all of sudden we had weepy Hasslebeck. Wasn't then that she brought out the Black Barbie story and her pretend friends now included a few Blacks to join her gay and veteran friends? We also saw another Walters consoling poor Hasslebeck and telling the audience how much they love each other. Whoopi later joined Joy being overall rather apathetic to Hasslebeck's strident silliness because they no doubt knew that Walters and Geddie were not going to do much against Hassleeck even though there were moments that she was clearly chastised or told to rein it in. So Joy being part of the Rosie take down? No. Standing back to keep any blood from splattering her following that carnage? Completely. And she would squirm and twist her lips in the years that followed but would often not engage Hasslebeck as often as I felt she could. Let alone should. I suspect that Hasslebeck either will spew as much bile as she can simply because soon she won't have anyone to listen to her or (or and) because she wants to make sure when she is waved goodbye to from the lobby doors it is at least a fantasy of hers that they might call her back someday. 4 Link to comment

That's how I saw/see Joy too and I don't mean it in a good way. I saw her do it again (on a much smaller scale of course) just last week when Whoopi was clapping her hands in Paula's face and berating her telling her husband she wanted laser hair removal for Christmas. Over the years Joy became adept at remaining silent during confrontations or even flat out lies. It's how she kept her seat for 17 years and probably how she got it back. In the corporate world I've seen that behavior carry someone very very high - higher than skill or intelligence. And I didn't respect it there either. 8 Link to comment

No, I'm not kidding. http://www.newshounds.us/on_fox_news_it_s_obama_s_fault_trump_wants_to_ban_muslim_immigration_1208015 HASSELBECK: Why don’t we just fix the actual system in place and why don’t we have a leader in place that would actually make us feel safe about terrorists so we didn’t have to go to the extremes and saying, “You, you believe this? Well, you’re not coming into our country.” I think a lot of people believe this country is about more than that and the terrorists want us to be not the way that we have been. KILMEADE: Elisabeth, that’s a great point. Because I think people saw the speech Sunday and they said wait a second, who’s got our back? He spent most of the speech saying what we’re not going to do to fight them and what we shouldn’t do when they’re here. And we say, wait a second, they just killed 14 people, these two just killed 14 people, wounded 21, we didn’t even have them on the radar, it doesn’t seem. So we’re wondering, who is worrying about us? And when Donald Trump comes out with something that seems extreme, then people say, “Okay, at least I can say he’s looking out for you.” Can you imagine what it must be like, to hate someone so much because he's not on your "team", that your brain defies all logic and reason to villianize him? 8 Link to comment
