Gloves off, claws out on "The View"
Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck have certainly had their share of spats on "The View," but on Wednesday, things got ugly. What started as a series of wry anti-Bush talking points from Joy Behar devolved into an O'Donnell/Hasselbeck shouting match so intense it nearly drove Behar and guest host Sherri Shepherd off the stage. The root of this particular argument seems to lie not in politics, but in Rosie's hurt feelings over Elisabeth not defending her when Republican pundits spin and distort Rosie's words. Or something. To be honest, they so rarely let each other finish a sentence it's amazing either one ever hears enough to even get into an argument about it. But Alicia Silverstone, at least, has taken sides, as is clear from this segment of the show that aired immediately after the fight. Take note of Elisabeth's hands on her hips as she realizes she's been dissed by the woman who once said, "I think that Clueless was very deep... deep in the way that it was very light." Ouch.
