OK, maybe not really, but it is clear to everyone watching The View and Rosie that Elisabeth agrees with the Bushies that Rosie called our troops terrorists. Rosie asked her again point blank and she wouldn't answer with a simple yes or no. When asked in the past, she avoided an answer. This is not at all surprising behavior for Elisabeth. She has continuously spouted Republican talking points without bothering to form her own opinion. Here, her first hand knowledge through her friendship with Rosie is at odds with these talking points and her brainwashed little mind can't deal with it. And how does she react? With lots and lots of anger. I've never seen her so made on the show before. She has a lot of anger inside her. I feel very sorry for her husband and kids. It will be very sad day for that family when she finds out her husband is cheating on her. Someone is going to the ER.

The best thing was watching her boil over after Alicia Silverstone totally disses her on air. When coming out on stage, Alicia (my new hero) walks right past her and greats only the other three hosts. Even after casually grabbing her arm Elisabeth isn't even worthy of eye contact.

In this next photo, Elisabeth sees what is going on and she is pissed! I love it. Alicia greets all the other hosts with a hug, the biggest for Rosie. A total professional, Alicia doesn't treat Elisabeth any different than the other hosts during the interview. Most people probably missed the exchange at the beginning altogether. We got to witness first hand that even though speech is free, there are consequences for being a hateful bitch.

If you missed the fight, watch it here.

What else I loved:

• Everyone trying to go to commercial
• The split screen argument between the two
• Elisabeth constantly interrupting Joy and Rosie and yet demanding that she be allowed to finish. This, btw, was a tactic often employed by my ex when we got into arguments. Years into our relationship I exposed this tactic as an unnecessary way to make me look like the bad guy.
• Elisabeth bringing up the Donald...low blow.
  
• And my favorite is Rosie not giving up even though she keeps saying she's not arguing anymore. I don't think anyone with strong beliefs could possibly stay quiet when dealing with such idiocy and hypocrisy.

If I were a producer at The View or an executive at ABC or Disney, I would be begging Rosie to stay for another year.
