Elisabeth Hasselbeck Rocks the Republican Convention

[Contrary1]

She "wowed" them? Could this whole thing get any more surreal?

"The View co-host and well-known Republican enthusiast Elisabeth Hasselbeck spent the day wowing delegates at the Republican National Convention Thursday.

Hasselbeck, 31, served as the official emcee at a luncheon for Cindy McCain just hours before John McCain's big speech. Hasselbeck also showed off vintage-style "McCain '08" T-shirts she designed herself, and spent time on the floor of the convention taping a segment that will air on Monday, Sept. 8, onThe View.

"She was a bit of a rock star," a source tells PEOPLE. "The Republicans were all over her, fawning over her, telling her she was the best, clapping and cheering at her speech at the lunch. She wrote it herself, by the way."

<snip>

Hasselbeck will continue spending time with the McCain family next week when their daughter Meghan is a guest on the show Tuesday. Then on Friday, John and Cindy McCain will sit with Hasselbeck, Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd on the chat-fest's couch for an entire show. Their appearance will kick off The View's "Red, White and View" campaign of programming aimed at getting the vote out in November."

1. I hope Whoopi & Joy ask Gramps some real questions

[closeupready]

2. Was she a spoiled child? She has that quality about her,

that screams, "I am accustomed to getting things my way."

[Iris]

10. She once screamed, "I can't help it that I'm pretty" in a fight she was having with Rosie O'Donnell.

[closeupready]

14. Oh, gawd.

She didn't! :eyes: high opinion of herself she has, huh.

[Iris]

17. That's what I thought, but apparently some people (even around here) think she's hot.

I, on the other hand, just think she's orange.

[wryter2000]

3. She wrote the speech herself?

I'd like to hear that. :crazy:

"And so, when Cindy asked me to introduce her, I was all...like...is that...like...totally awesome, or what?"

4. Anyone watch the view today?

I bet mondays show will be one to watch.

[EFerrari]

5. I thought rock stars were bad?

We're not having an election in the press. We're having a 7th grad popularity contest and it's being fixed, at that.

lol

6. I quit watching the View just because of her, she's a total fuckwad! n/t

7. More nauseating hypocrisy.

When celebs endorse Democrats its all about how awful the Dems are that they have the wicked and corrupt Hollywood celeb endorsements. But the moment a famous person endorses the Repukes..its how smart and great and WONDERFUL they are. Hasselbeck is a ditz who makes me want to barf. Thank GOD her hubby no longer plays for my favorite football team.

8. she sucks.

her intro knocked Michelle Obama...she said something like "Cindy...who, unlike another candidate's wife, did not come with a list of topics that were off limits...because she has nothing to hide!" Puh-lease, Elizabeth. Joy is too classy to ask Cindy questions about her fucking drug addiction or John McCain cheating with her, but you cannot restrain yourself from going "noun..verb...Rev Wright!" Elizabeth is a pathetic piece of trash.

9. What we've learned this week - It doesn't take much to "wow" Republican delegates. n/t

[Rob H.]

11. "She wrote it herself, by the way."

Well, that puts her one up on Palin.

[noel711]

12. So why didn't GRampy pick HER to be Veep??

After all, she has experience..

[verges]

13. Vintage-style McCain '08 t-shirts?

What the hall does that mean? But hey, at least she could write her own speech. Unlike some female Republicans I can think of. Of course I'm sure this speech did not have mant big words.

[Joanne98]

15. It's Hasselbrat..

[Stellabella]

16. That hypocritical bitch needs to STFU.

[OneGrassRoot]

18. She has to be pissed McCain didn't pick her. LOL.

She TOTALLY thinks she's qualified.
