Elisabeth Goes Nuts on Guys with Penises

Click to return to TMZ.comWithout a Trump or a Paula to take on, the huffing and puffing on today's "View" was supplied by resident right-wing schoolmarm, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

During a discussion on adultery, the easily-flustered Hasselbeck took on parents who cheat on their spouses, saying that their affairs made them bad parents, and shocked her fellow yentas with a rant on men who "follow their penises." (Working something out, are we, darling?) Her rather older, wiser colleagues thought her "View" rather extreme, and essentially told her to take the stick out of her you-know-what.

When Babwa Walters is telling you to chill, girl, you know you're going a bit far.

61. They have to have an Elisabeth on the show to represent that segment of the country. And for those of us who are not part of that segment, I am so happy to have Elisabeth representing them. Can you think of many who are more shrill or extreme? She is a gift, thank you Barbara!
On a separate note though, you have to feel for her in that, nothing will bite faster than the pedestal she is standing on. How many times have we seen someone preach about fidelity only to be quickly humbled or exposed? I can think of about 50 examples just off the top of my head and the louder they crowed, the more blatant was the infidelity.

62. Please her husband cheats on her right and left! She just turns a blind eye to it. She's a dingbat hypocrite.

64. "7. One of the comments below mine reads, "I SLIGHTLY agree with her in that to be a good parent you should CONSIDER not sleeping with someone other than your spouse while in your marriage. But I do agree that you CAN BE a good parent even if you ARE HAVING AN AFFAIR.

"Slightly?" Is it not the consensus that affairs for married people is a bad idea? And whats up with "a good parent should not consider an affair." Forget consider - a good parent should not have an affair - period.

Is this where society is going? It's all about me? This is scary.

Gina,you idiot, I was being sarcastic when I said you should CONSIDER. And sometimes affairs just happen. It's an unfortunate fact of life. Sometimes they aren't for tawdry reasons. Maybe your minds in the gutter. But what I was trying to convey is that things happen in life. An affair is unfortunate but should you find yourself in one you need to do the adult thing and either stop or get out of the marriage. Now Gina, if you aren't posting under several names since Gina isn't above mine......let's talk about lies....now that we see you post under several names. You're a cheat right there. If you can understand a thought someone is trying to convey then you would've gotten it. Apparently, I was asking too much from you. I'll make it clear. AFFAIRS BAD...FAMILY GOOD...but if you should find yourself in an affair ..... get out and stop hurting people... this includes kids and spouse. I was just merely stating that an affair should not blow out of the water alll that you do as a parent OTHERWISE.

So Gina....or whatever other name you post under....GET A GRIP!!
idiot!!!

65. This coming from a woman who's husband DOESN'T look at porn or MATURBATE...according to her! I have a sneaky suspicion she is having problems with her husband. It is NEVER okay to cheat on a spouse but it doesn't make you a bad parent. I can't stand Elisabeth and hope she is fired.

Posted at 2:34PM on Jan 23rd 2007 by I HATE stupid people

66. Yes, it matters! Our children are watching every move we make and everything we say, in public and behind closed doors. We are they're roll models. To think that a person is blazing through life not effecting or influencing anyone elses life is the most selfish thing I have ever heard. We effect eveyone around us with the decisions we make, whether big or small. I am getting quite sick of these shows that are only after shock value. Everything that is good, right, and possitive is dismissed because it lacks thrill. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Elizabeth gets the pink slip because of her wholesome views. It's not good for ratings because it doesn't shock.
Rosie needs to bring out her public manners a little more often. We don't want to hear all of this.
Barbara, step back and look, you're ratings may be up for the wrong reasons.

67. She will probably kill her husband and his mistress if she ever found him cheating on her. Idk how anyone could stay married to her. she seems way too controlling and bossy.

68. Elisabeth needs to get off her high horse and get a clue. Just because she is stuck in a rotten marriage doesn't mean the rest of America should have to listen to her stupid rantings. Being a good parent has noithing to do with parents who fall out of love with each other.

Posted at 2:46PM on Jan 23rd 2007 by Oh boy!

69. It seems to me that many of you who are standing up for Elisabeth and stating that parents need to be the moral compass for their children, and that love for one's children is not enough simply are missing one thing from the equasion.

Parents are human. Humans fuck up now and again. Humans grow apart from their chosen mate sometimes.

Now, if my husband had an affair, I'd be pissed as hell, hurt, depressed and feeling somewhat murderous. He the same if it was myself having the affair.

But unless he or I were neglecting our children, beating them, failing to provide the necessities of life, etc, etc...THEN we'd have some bad parenting going on.

70. Please read:

I've been married for 22 years. My marriage would have been over 20 years ago if I didn't cheat every once and awhile. I wouldn't have my 3 sons.

Besides, most guys hate their wife. I know I do, my wife has a bad odor down there. I would have left her a long time ago, but I didn't want to give up my house.

I can't wait until my youngest son turns 18, That's when I'll leave my wife. Save money that way.

Thank You God for 22 year old sluts with a daddy complex.

71. Thank you #53!

72. I totally agree with Elizabeth!

73. Why is it that anytime Elizabeth opens her mouth everyone jumps on her? Rosie can say any crude thing she wants about anyone, but Elizabeth can't say anything in favor of morals or values. As a society we continue to have low standards. I'm tired of Barbra curtailing Elizabeth's comments, but not Rosie's.

74. In my opinion, I think a vast majority of people have affairs.....as opposed to divorcing their spouse.....FOR the sake of the children.....

I think kids are woser then we give them credit for, and if you are not happy....then you should just "leave"......I know that doesn't say much for the sacrament of marriage but now-a-days.....I don't know how serious people take that......you are alwqays hearing about divorce, separation etc.......

I guess alot of people have there Jennifer....but, are still looking for there Angelina.......

75. I agree with Elizabeth. When a spouse cheats s/he hurts the children, too. Either through bickering in front of the kids, or divorce - kids pick up on things. they are smarter than we give them credit for!
