White House Apologizes to Hasselbeck

1217hasselbeck.jpg

Oh the horror! Was conservative talk show host Elisabeth Hasselbeck left off the guest list for this year's presidential Christmas party?

That's true! The "View" hostess, who has attended the holiday bash in the past, complained yesterday on the show of being snubbed. "Maybe I didn't do enough for the Republican Party this year," Elisabeth said, as reported by Us Weekly.

She added, "I love Christmas cards. I love getting them. There is one in particular that I usually like, and it's an invitation to the White House Christmas party. Not the big one, but the 20th one down the road that you get the leftovers at the party. I'd be going to that one -- no invitation this year."

After getting wind of Elisabeth's questioning, reps from the White House issued an apology to the former "Survivor" -- and said it was never their intention to cut her from the guest list.

"Following today's live show, Elisabeth received a call from the The White House, and they both had a great conversation," Karl T. Nilsson, the executive publicity director of "The View" told the magazine. "The President's office apologized and explained that she and her husband were indeed invited to the White House for Christmas and were sorry that it did not arrive. It was simply an oversight."

Nilsson added, "Both Elisabeth and Tim are hoping to make plans for a visit to the White House in the early New Year."

During the presidential campaign, Hasselbeck an avid supporter of John McCain and Sarah Palin, and introduced the Alaska Governor at GOP rallies.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck was hired for her looks not intelligence. She is fake like her hair color. Lisa Ling was pretty and intelligent. Elisabeth and Sarah Palin give real woman a bad name.
Both of them need to go back to school.
Bush is going down in history as one of the worst president in our life time I believe Elisabeth would give him four more years if she could. Until hard times hit her like it has the American public.

who said anything about bush? the comments were on the backwoods bunch. and if sarah is smart and wasilla is the drug capital of alaska, it seems to be that her being governer that she can implement programs to fight the war on drugs. she’s got the power and smarts, what’s the problem?

Wow what a rude take on “republicans”?

And exactly what makes the democratic way of life better? Zero morals, selfishness (want what they want regardless of the expense), pro-abortion, pro- gay marriage, anti- church, anti-christ, kiss the enemies azz, and when it comes to cash they aren’t called LIBERALS for nothing!

Bill Clinton- an adultor IN THE “ORAL” OFFICE (yea respectable),.. what’s more his wife keeps his sorry azz! Congress is made up of a majority of DEMOCRATS,yet you want to blame President Bush for the ECONOMY!!? Democrats are not immune, take your lovely democratic corrupt governor in Illinois?? Now you’ve extended that corruption into the highest job in our homeland.. if you believe that Obama is not a part of all that Illinois corruption, keep watching the news as the story of his questionable past continues to catch up with him. And what’s more, watch him DENY everything—- he’s been doing that since his Oprah promotion!!

You wanna talk about experience? Obama only THREE years a Senator (a position gained merely by the likes of ACORN) yet again no one wants to talk about, investigate, nor find out the truth about that situation. Then there’s his birth certificate issues- lie, deny, and cover up! His connections to Ayers (a known terrorist) the millions in campaign money received from “questionable sources” (mainly outside the U.S.).. NOPE,.. NOT IMPORTANT!?? His anti-white anti-american church of TWENTY YEARS.. but only after TWENTY YEARS how “convenient” to dis-associate with the pastor? Oh, and ZERO MILITARY experience,.. yet now gains the title “commander in chief”?

This is a “president elect” of making “HISTORY” and nothing less!! People don’t like him because of his questionable background, inexperience, and kid-gloved handling of the press and media!! But people wanna dismiss those that simply do not like him as RACIST??? Simple enough huh? Fair …yea only by Liberal Democratic Standards!!

For the record I am neither Democrat, nor Republican. I’m not even an Independent!! I believe there is not much TRUST to be found in our own political leaders no matter their affiliation. America = Greed & Corruption! There’s enough of that for EVERY politician.

THAT is what you are witnessing in this day..

they are acting like savages those pesky republicans, it just shows what kind of people they really are. they are all cut from the same cloth. keep up your nasty remarks to each other republicans, that’s exactly what sarah palin’s campaign aids did to her, calling her a “wasilla hillbilly” that is totally wrong and stupid on their part. that’s a republican for ya! no unity, that’s why they lost! it also shows on these postings they have no unity.

i m a republican also and I don’t like elisabeth, she is dumber than a doorknob. she doesn’t get the point across she becomes hysterical. sounds like you don’t have faith that there are other smart republicans out there, elisabeth is the only one and the one and only. bullsh*t. to the comment below elisabeth is not the only republican in the world in case you didn’t know.

BUTCH I APPRECIATE YOUR OPINION, HOWEVER I AM NOT JEALOUS OF ELISABETH. I DON’T LIKE LARGE CROWDS AND PARTIES. I STILL THINK THERE ARE OTHER SMART, INTELLIGENT REPUBLICANS THAT ARE MORE DESERVING THAN ELISABETH. I AM NOT A LIBERAL. I AM A STAUNCH REPUBLICAN.

You all that think Elizabeth shouldn’t go to the Xmas party are just jealous,and she did a great job for Sarah Palin, and if anyone need’s to get off the VIEW it should be Joy, she is a Ding Bat and for Elizabeth and Rosie, Rosie shouldn’t ever been on the show, she’s a Big pain in the BUTT, she couldn’t hold a candle to Elizabeth, she was jealous of Elizabeth, So all of you that don’t like Elizabeth I hope you all have a Rosie Xmas

This lady needs to come back down from the clouds. She is a nobody and is not very smart either. I don’t blame rosie one bit for not getting along with her.
I can’t understand how she got on the view and I sure don’t know why she’s still there. they must be hard up for
other stars.

WHAT;S THERE TO BE JEALOUS ABOUT? AN AIRHEAD? NO THANKS, PEOPLE IN THIS FORUM ARE SMART AND THEY KNOW WHAT ELISABETH IS ALL ABOUT. SHE WANTS TO HOB NOB WITH THE POLITICIANS SO SHE CAN COME BACK TO THE VIEW AND BRAG ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT SHE IS BEING AT THE PARTY. I HAVE NO JEALOUSLY TOWARDS HER, JUST DON’T LIKE THE BIMBO. SO MANY DESERVING REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE THERE INSTEAD OF ELISABETH. YOU DON’T HEAR THESE REPUBLICANS BEGGING ON NATIONAL TV TO GO TO THE PARTY. THOSE ARE THE SILENT SMART REPUBLICANS THAT DON’T WANT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT THE PARTY. ELISABETH WILL SOON BE RIDING OBAMAS COATTAILS SO SHE CAN BE “IN” WHAT A LOSER: NO BRAINS, BABBLING FOOL, HI SHRILLING VOICE, AND DUMBER THAN A SACK OF ROCKS.
