Despite the fact that every Dick Of The Week I've featured so far at BitchBuzz has been a man, this shiny award was not intended to be only for men. I like to think of myself as someone who hates without concern for gender, race, etc. And that's true with this week's selection for Dick Of The Week, BitchBuzz's first female recipient, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
I have long hated Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Not only does she spell her name incorrectly (or pronounce it incorrectly, whichever you prefer to blame her for), but she waves her Republican flag so hard and so high that I'm surprised her arms haven't fallen off.
On The View she's constantly put up against guests and the other hosts, and is usually backed into a corner due to her lack of knowledge and ability to defend her opinions. She spouts off conservative ideals without doing the necessary research, and always confronts differing opinions and information that brings her opinion into question by saying "I'll have to research that." No word on if she actually knows how to research things.
While her lack of intelligence and general worship of conservative ideals could easily earn her the Dick Of The Week award, I needed something more substantial to make it work. And then it happened.
For some reason, Hasselbeck thought she had the qualifications to attend the RNC and speak at a ceremony honoring Cindy McCain (for what? Drug addiction?). The View has had both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama on, so it's fairly obvious who she is talking about below:
Cindy came into our hair and makeup room, fresh as can be, and unlike
another wife of a political candidate who shall remain nameless, she
didn't come with a list of topics that we weren't allowed to touch.
Nope, that's because she has nothing to hide.
Check out the video here:
Who cares if a Presidential candidate's wife has a list of topics she can't discuss? Did it ever occur to you that is the doing of her husband's campaign, and not her own? It isn't really her job to campaign for her husband and convey his issues to your audience, but she appeared on the show anyways. Get over it.
Cindy McCain doesn't have anything to hide because she's been outed as a past drug addict, whose actions not only disbanded a charity, but forced a medical professional to surrender his license. Once you've done that much damage, you don't really have much to worry about - unless you're burying bodies in your backyard or running a meth lab out of your garage.
Just because I find it funny, here's Hasselbeck's thoughts on Sarah Palin:
And she is as real as they come. You could tell
that she loves her family. She's the last person to be affected by the
smear campaign that's going on by the left.
What smear campaign? The one conservatives are doing by selectively quoting Democratic party candidates and framing their responses inappropriately? Hmm? Yeah, that's the Republicans.
So, congratulations, Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Your totally unwarranted snide comments towards Michelle Obama have earned you the title of Dick Of The Week.
I would like to close with this wonderful poem from Rosie O'Donnell, and say that I couldn't agree more:
sarah p - elisabeth h
identical cousins
