Elisabeth Hasselbeck Goes Off on Sarah Palin

March 27, 2010


In never-thought-you’d-see-the-day news, staunch conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck went off on The View yesterday, railing against none other than Sarah Palin.

Why? Because Palin, for whom she campaigned during the ’08 election, released an ad that put 20 Democratic members of Congress literally in the crosshairs.

Palin’s call to kill Democrats grass roots action came in response to the Dems’ big f*%king deal overhaul of the health care system, which she’s very opposed to.

The former Alaska Governor’s Facebook page features her political action committee’s ad targeting the 20 Democratic incumbents, with a SarahPac map marking districts where Democrats voted “yes” for health care reform with guns.

Elisabeth would like a mulligan on this campaign rally.

Hasselbeck also opposes health reform, but she’s actually far more upset about how people on her own side of the political spectrum are handling themselves.

“I think the way some Republicans are handling this is nothing more than despicable,” she said in response to Palin’s tasteless ad. “It’s disappointing to see this coming from the Party, and I would hope that leaders like Sarah Palin would end this.”

No word if Sarah also plugged Bristol Palin on there somehow.

Liberal-leaning co-host Joy Behar got Elisabeth going by saying the map looked “like an Al Qaeda Christmas card.” We were surprised to watch Elisabeth concur.

Did Dr. Conrad Murray Conspire with Baby Mama?


Does Dr. Conrad Murray’s girlfriend/baby mama, Nicole Alvarez, have any info about the death of Michael Jackson? That’s what the LAPD’s been trying to find out.

Detectives obtained a search warrant in November and searched a Gmail account belonging to Nicole Alvarez, a woman who had a child with Dr. Conrad Murray.

Murray was staying with her in Santa Monica up until the time Jackson died (June 25, 2009), and police sought records from May through September of last year.

Essentially, detectives wanted to know what Dr. Murray was saying to Nicole Alvarez for two months before and two months after the music star’s untimely death.

Was Dr. Conrad Murray trying to cover his tracks?

An affidavit mentions a “shipment” Murray may have discussed with Alvarez. Officials believe Dr. Murray had Propofol sent from a Las Vegas pharmacy to Alvarez.

He faces involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Jackson.

At the center of the prosecution’s case are not only Murray’s actions that day, but contradictory statements and omissions of facts in statements made to officials.

Meanwhile, a newly-released search warrant details some of what cops discovered at Jackson’s mansion in the aftermath of his death. Follow the jump to see …

Here’s what was found on the premises

3-10 mg/ml 1% lydocaine vials (2 empty, 1 3/4 full)
1 empty bottle propofol 200 mg
1 pulse monometer
1 empty vial lorazepam 4 mg
2 empty vials midazolam 10mg
1 empty vial propofol 1g/100ml
1 black nylon bag
1 dark blue costco bag
1 light blue canvas bag
1 pill bottle with 13 tablets containing 25 mg ephedrine, 200 mg caffeine, 80 mg aspirin
4 vials propofol 200mg/20ml
2 vials 5 mg flumazenil
1 vial lorazepam
1 vial lidocane
200mg vials of propofol (1 full, 1 1/4 full)
1 empty bag I.V. drip of sodium chloride with syringe
1 ziplock bag containing 18 tubes of Benoquin

Interesting to note that they found a canvas bag, which MJ bodyguard Alberto Alvarez (no relation) told cops Dr. Murray told him to put vials of Propofol in.

Donald Trump Continues to Hate On Rosie O’Donnell


Remember Donald Trump? He’s a real estate mogul who formerly anchored a hit reality show.

Remember Rosie O’Donnell? She’s a controversial talk show host who hasn’t been heard from since she left The View.

Remember the hilarious feud between these two? Probably not. A refresher: In 2006, Rosie criticized Trump for “acting as a moral compass for 20-year-olds” when he chose to keep Tara Conner as Miss USA, despite a series of salacious photos.

In response, The Donald went off on O’Donnell, referring to her as a “disgraceful, horrible human being, a terrible person.” And those were the compliments!

Rosie PicDonald, The

Now, days after it was announced that Rosie was returning with a daytime talk show, Trump has gone back on the offensive. He told Extra this week:

“She’s a loser. Her other shows didn’t do well, this one won’t do well. Everything she touches is a failure, she’s a failure.”

We love it. Do you think Rosie’s show will fail? Do you think Donald Trump should have better things to do with his life than pick this fight?

Choose a side: Team Rose or Team The Donald?


Tareq and Michaele Salahi Will Actually Star on The Real Housewives of D.C.


Sorry, Sarah Palin.

Incredibly, you’re NOT the most pathetic person to land a new reality show this month.

Tareq and Michaele Salahi – the absolute morons who crashed a party at the White House last year – won’t simply star in The Real Housewives of D.C.; the awful couple will be a focal point of the Bravo program.

The Salahis actually averted the Secret Service and shook hands with President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and many others in November 2008. Reportedly, the pair was being filmed as part of its audition for this series when the crashing took place.

A dozen episodes of the first season have been shot and are slated to premiere in July, according to The Daily Beast. Paris Hilton’s aunts and Kelsey Grammer’s wife will also star on the show.

Looks like the competition for This Year’s Sign of the Apocalypse is over before it began.

Lindsay Lohan is Going to Die


If you had Lindsay Lohan in your celebrity death pool for 2010, the people close to her think it might have been a smart wager … not that they want you to win.

Sources connected to the train wreck believe that she desperately needs to get help, but she refuses to listen. As one extremely close professional person put it:

“If she doesn’t get help soon, she’s going to die.”

People trying to help Lindsay over the last year both professionally and personally feel something terrible will happen unless the celeb immediately gets help.

She promised mayhem in 2010 and is delivering. But will she even be around to see 2011? The way things have been going lately, we’d say 70-30 at best …

Down goes Lindsay … in every way. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

Help for substance abuse, that is. We are not talking about Michael or Dina Lohan, either. Lord knows those two losers are only interested in their own agendas.

These ominous warnings come from people who care and have seriously, albeit quietly tried to convince Lindsay to go to rehab. So far, they haven’t succeeded.

In typical fashion, Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been making excuses for her erratic behavior and though she admits she has issues, refuses to do $h!t about it.

After falling after leaving a party (above), she Tweeted, “Only I would get pushed into a large, sharp plant by crazy paparazzi! I need to start wearing flats :/”

And laying off the crack.
