Elisabeth to Pop Out Rosie's Replacement?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck told the world today that she's three months pregnant -- which would bring her little baby Republican into the world just nearly in time to fill Rosie O'Donnell's Birkenstocks.

It was all smiles and confetti between E and her elders on "The View" this morning, when Hasselbeck proclaimed the happy news about her second baby, though Barbara Walters admitted that she nearly plotzed when Elisabeth told her she had something to say, following on the heels of Rosie's exit announcement last week.

This does raise the question of what happens in November, during all-important sweeps period, when the baby is due, because O'Donnell will be gone -- and Hasselbeck's baby will put her out for at least a few weeks. Could there be a Star on "The View's" horizon?

76. 71. Elizabeth should stay home with her 2 babies and stop boring the viewers. She doesn't add enough insight and she is far too conservative and not easy for me, a woman with a few little ones, to relate too. Find someone funny, stylish, and smart, I'm tired of Miss Priss.

I agree with you. She is boring as hell. Barbara isn't entertaining either. The View may be on it's way out.

77. Elisabeth acts a though she is an angel and is incapable of making a mistake. People like Elisabeth who maintain a self righteous attitude are the ones who fall the hardest. Just take a look at Kathy Lee Gifford!

I agree with you.

78. The people who are bashing Elizabeth are just jealous. She's beautiful, bright, articulate and charming. But, the main thing you don't like is that Elizabeth is happy. Unhappy people just hate for other people to be happy. Unhappy people are vicious and mean, and usually stupid.

79. Was there any need for the confetti? Anyway, Congratulations Elizabeth and Tim Hasselbeck. But, lets get serious she ain't going nowhere, Elizabeth is too hot to be taken off The View! Oh yeah, um I take it Tim’s the stay at home daddy, because I haven’t seen or heard about him in the NFL.

82. I would love to see Sherri Shepherd as a regular. She is hilarious, and not afraid to give an opinion. She represents the original format for The View, before it became a war zone!

83. I can't stand that girl.

84. Thank God, maybe I can watch again after she is GONE........................I simply cannot stand her self inflated importance and ignorant comments. She was voted off an island for God's sake, people. And now she is some kind of Republican spokesperson???? Is this is low as they have sunk? oops, no..... Ann Coulter and O'Rielly are lower...but thank God she will be GONE.

85. Maybe all of you bitching and moaning about the "over-populated" world should drink some Kool-Aid (as in some Jim Jones flavored Kool-Aid). That would help with the over-population of the lefty Socialists and Communists that don't know how to do anything but bitch about everything. What's so wrong with a husband and wife, who obviously have family values, bringing children into this world? I can't wait to bring my own children into this world and raise them "right".

86. All of those who are complaining about Elisabeth on the show and her opinions. If all they had on The View were Democrats (left wing) and nobody right wing, it wouldn't be much of a discussion now, would it? That's why the show is called THE VIEW....I wouldn't care about watching it if there weren't differing opinions to get the discussions going. Elisabeth wouldn't have to fight so hard to express her opinion, if they had someone on the show every now and then who agrees with her....believe me, there are a lot of us out there who do. I'm glad we won't have to listen to lesbian stuff on The View on a daily basis now, that will be FANTASTIC. I also would vote for Patricia Heaton - And, I enjoyed Carrie Ann Inaba on there the other day too.....

87. We won't be watching after Rosie leaves. Elisabeth's voice is like a machine gun spouting the lies of the right wing neo cons she hears on her beloved Fox news.

"The View" needs Randi Rhodes to take Rosie's place.

Sherri Shepherd and Whoopi would be good panelists along with Randi.

Maybe Elisabeth won't return! That would help "The View" greatly

88. Patricia Heaton? Are you kidding me?

What a Religious right-winger she is. I couldn't stand the show if she were on it.

89. I think the view should consider Kathy Griffin for replacement for Rosie even though i think ABC should have paid Rosie the Money on a Year To Year basis...as she wanted. Elizabeth Fox is calling

90. After 35 years i switched the Price Is Right for The View! That tells me something....Rosie had alot to do for the switch! Keep Rosie On The View ABC or give her a show of her own..
