Media Hasselbeck, Maher have tense sitdown on ‘The View’

Promoting his new book Tuesday on “The View,” Bill Maher and Elisabeth Hasselbeck almost literally butted heads. They probably would have had the segment lasted any longer than it did.

It began with Hasselbeck confronting Maher on a joke he told about her and CNN’s Lara Logan earlier this year on his HBO show “Real Time.” After some uncomfortable back-and-forth, the conversation moved on to the Republican presidential contenders for yet more awkward TV. “I actually feel smarter sitting next to you,” Hasselbeck said. “Really? I feel like I’m in high school sitting next to you,” Maher responded.

A conversation fit for in-laws. And almost in time for Thanksgiving dinner.

    Have you ever seen one of those science fiction movies in which there is a character who is 200 years old, being kept alive by drinking the life force of small children? Bill Maher looks like that character.

    I do agree with him, though, when he said that his provocative comments are what makes him famous. It’s his shtick. That’s how he makes his living. Without it he would just be another two bit comedian. I appreciate him telling me this because now it’s much easier to totally dismiss him.

    Barbara and Joy sure were defending him (not Elizabeth). Doesn’t happen in other situations, such as when republicans are on..then they defend each other and gang up on the guest. It completely annoys me that they never let Elizabeth speak. I can’t believe that she stays with that “job”. BUT – the only time I watch this show is when clip are on The Blaze.

    Since Bill was so funny with his joke about Lara Logan, maybe the View girls should have joked with him about his showers with Sandusky. That would have been real funny to someone with a sick mind like Maher’s.
