If you don't watch The View, you're missing some serious action. Resentments sowed on Monday's show came to the fore today. Things were so heated between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck that the director went split screen and held from going to a commercial.
Today's fracas began when Joy started in with a laundry list of reasons why President Bush needs to be impeached. She had watched Al Gore on Larry King Live last night and was seething. He apparently said what President Carter said earlier in the week — that Bush is the worst president in U.S. history. Of course, Elisabeth jumped to his defense, and then Mount Rosie erupted, trying to get Elisabeth to acknowledge that she didn't think U.S. troops were terrorists (this was the spill over from Monday's show). Elisabeth still didn't answer.

• I give Joy credit for attempting to be the one to take on the President and Elisabeth. Rosie is always skewered for this and I was glad that Joy stepped it up. Unfortunately things went awry.
• Rosie only has three weeks left on the show.
• Guest star Alicia Silverstone came out to be interviewed after the argument. It is standard for guests to hug and/or kiss all the co-hosts. She came out and breezed right by Elisabeth, who you could tell was clearly miffed by the snub, and hugged Rosie and Joy.

Because of my work schedule and blog responsibilities, I usually set my alarm for 10:30. I can see I'm going to have to revise that downward a half an hour, since "The View" is once more cooking hot - at least for three more weeks.
Regarding Alicia Silvertone's snub of Elisabeth, I'm not even a fan of Elisabeth, but I think Alicia was rude and her actions uncalled for and I have absolutely NO respect for her. I certainly will never be a fan of hers ever. She showed no class at all.
It's up on Ifilm:

Wow, that was some juicey television. I've been tivo-ing Rosie's last few weeks. It seemed like Elizabeth came out with an attitude before she even got into it with Rosie. I think she's starting to believe the press that she is being put upon. Also It sounded to me like her husband coached her for her appearance today--that football reference? Come on.
I could NOT believe how incredibly rude Alicia Silverstone was today. Get some manners lady.
Rock on Rosie and Rock on Alicia Silverstone. That was the icing on the catfight cake.
I find Elisabeth incredibly annoying. She's been on her high horse since her White House visit with the Ws.
Even though I don't agree with Elisabeth, this was not Alicia fight so it was incredibly rude to snub her.
Apparently anonymous has a woody on for Alicia.
Who the fuck cares?
Is anyone on the view have any particular qualifications that should make anybody give a rat's ass about what they think of any particular political matter?
Why not just watch trained monkeys argue about it by throwing their feces at one another? It would be as enlightening.
I like the black lady. She was in Everybody Loves Raymond many times! heh! I don't know her name tho!
That is Sherri Shepherd. Considering how boisterous she usually is when she is a guest co-host, she was quiet during the hubbub. She was just in the TV show The Wedding Bells this year...I'm not sure if it was canceled or not.
