Barbra Walters: I don’t think Anthony Weiner has denied it. (The X-rated Weiner photo, Walters says she has seen it)
Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Then it must be a flattering photo.
Barbra Walters: Let me tell you something. It is.
“You know you don‘t have to speak just because it is your turn, right?”
Elisabeth Hasselbeck:
Do you think that the problem though, Bill [O’Reilly], is that if we go back in time, early in this administration, the president himself said we weren‘t allowed to use the word terrorist early on. So then he started using the word—hang on. He started saying the word radical Islamist, radical Muslims. So then there was then a closer association with what happened and the religion. I think if he would have just let us say terrorists, because there are terrorists across all religions and all faiths, then this wouldn‘t even be a problem.
Lawrence O’Donnell:
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Elisabeth, Elisabeth, Elisabeth! The president, himself, said we weren‘t allowed to use the word terrorists? I think that if he would have just let us say terrorists—ugh.
OK. So Elisabeth, you have heard of the First Amendment. It is the one that actually has the phrase freedom of speech. And what that means, of course, is that this is the country where you can say anything you want. It always has been.
So, even if the president, himself, said we weren‘t allowed to use the word terrorists, which he didn‘t, you could still use the word terrorist. How do I know? Because I did. I use the word terrorist all of the time.
Yeah, on TV.
Now, Elisabeth, you know you don‘t have to speak just because it is your turn, right? You know that. I have done a lot of panel shows, “The McLaughlin Group” and others. And inevitably they get around to talking about something that you just don‘t know anything about. Now most of the time, not all of the time, but most of the time when I have nothing to say, I just shut up. I have even been known to say, I don‘t know, when I have nothing to add to something I know nothing about.
Yes. You can say I don‘t know on TV. I have done it. So, Elisabeth, your Rewrite for tonight is nothing. You should have said nothing. And the next time you find yourself in this situation, you should just say nothing. Yes, I know how hard that sounds to you. But if I can do it, you can do it. I know you can do it.
OK. If you find that impossible, then there is one thing that you can always say, and you can never go wrong saying this on your show, and it is always what most of the audience is thinking anyway. And it is simply this: “I agree with Barbara.”

Whoopi Goldberg, WH Crasher "Heated Exchange" Backstage after Taping Show
…White House gatecrasher Michaele Salahi’s visit to the ABC daytime talk show “The View” ended in a backstage shouting match with co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
Salahi went to the show Wednesday to promote her appearance on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of D.C.,” which premieres Thursday. Goldberg touched Salahi’s back during an interview to get her attention and urge her to talk about the night she and her husband crashed President Obama’s state dinner last fall.
“The View” spokesman Karl Nilsson says after the show Goldberg and Salahi got into a “heated exchange” when Goldberg learned Salahi had accused the host of hitting her.
“President Obama’s visit to ABC’s The View set a new ratings record for the daytime show with an audience of 6.59 million viewers…The previous high for the show was 6.17 million viewers on the morning after the 2008 presidential election that brought Obama into office.”

Elizibeth Hasselbeck pulls something called the “Hatch Act” out of her ass to confront Shirley Sherrod: “is this something even legal going on here?” in regards to part of her speech.
Sherrod’s response could not have been better.
“For the past like three weeks she’s been wearing like next to nothing … I think in light of what happened … and as inexcusable as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her hotel room … in some way, if I’m him, I’m like, ‘man, I could have just waited 12 weeks (nervous laughter from crowd)’ … I could have seen this, a little bit less, without the prison time.”
