Rosie still holds her own on The View

Watching MSNBC tonight, I heard about a big feud (regarding Iraq) between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View, so went to You Tube to watch - both what happened today, and last Thursday's episode, that started the fuss. I can't believe the BS that comes out of Elisabeth's mouth - it's the Republican Talking Points, straight down the line. Can she possibly believe everything she says? Some of it, yes, but some of it - I can't believe anyone with a modicum of saavy could buy it. But I have to give her credit - Rosie and Joy Behar pound away from the left and she holds her ground. It's indefensible ground, but she holds it without blinking. As for Rosie, I love her, she's ballsy as hell, but she could be so much more effective as a spokesperson for a certain perspective (i.e., mine) if she didn't say such incredibly inflammatory things. But you have to applaud her willingness to do it, knowing the reaction that she gets, every single time.

Links to the two episodes (it's the opening segment only, about 9 minutes each), 5/23 first, then 5/17 (they're talking about Ron Paul, Rosie's comment about terrorists happens about halfway):
