THE new cast of women on "The View" waited just three days for their first knock-down fight.
The verbal brawl surprisingly included typically staid Barbara Walters briefly losing her temper with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck - before pulling herself together and calming down.
The outburst began when Hasselbeck mentioned Monica Lewinsky in a discussion about presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon religion and how a small sect of Mormons still practice polygamy.
The Monica reference triggered an avalanche of reaction from Whoopi Goldberg - and then Barbara.
"This is a good woman who has gotten a masters degree at the London School of Economics!" raged Walters, poking her finger at Hasselbeck's face. She pulled her hand back suddenly, took a flustered breath, and continued in a calmer tone.
"She's doing her best to have a life. Enough with Monica, everybody can move on."
Goldberg requested that Hasselbeck - a conservative who famously clashed with Rosie O'Donnell last season - not bring Lewinsky up again.
"I'm asking you to do me a favor because there's no reason for it today," Goldberg said. "This has nothing to do with Bill Clinton."
Goldberg is a longstanding friend and fundraiser for the Clintons.
Hasselbeck justified mentioning Lewinsky because the women were joking about Romney announcing he had a second wife.
"You're worried if some other woman would come out of the closet as the 'other woman,' " Hasselbeck sputtered. "It's not that much of a jump" to Monica.
"We've seen that before where another woman popped up" in the White House, she said

Hasselbeck wasn’t attacking Lewinsky, she was pointing out the improprieties of the former Prez. Liberals can’t get anything straight.
If the gaggle can make polygamy jokes about Mitt, they can hardly complain about Elisabeth bringing up Monica the White Swallow.
Why is Hasselbeck the token conservative? Put Ann Coulter on the show, and Walters would be wetting her Depends.
Ah, the ole double entendre'.
Her grace and beauty are in stark contrast to the old hags that populate the view. She’s too good for that show i think.
Possible Scenario : Hillary is elected President, Bill embararases her, we have a nasty White House Divorce, The President of the US is preoccupied for months or years with “personal problems” What then?
I would have thought that Barbara Walters could only remain in the public eye thanks to a particularly talented taxidermist.
Perhaps the sore point with the hags is that Romney is actually talented enough to attract multiple wives while the hags would have a hard time attracting anything other than a girlie-man for a husband.
Can anyone say control freak narcisist?
Just unbelievable, yet perfectly predictable.
Elizabeth was making a point about Clinton the Adulterer, and Barbara Walters, jumps to Monica Lewinsky’s defense as if Elizabeth was attacking Monica. This is hypocrisy of the finest and highest order, and is so laden with cognitive dissonance it makes me wonder if these people are sane at all. Since both Barbara and Whoopi are the types who blamed 22 year old Monica for victimizing the Alley Cat who was President, it is perfectly logical that they’re blaming Elizabeth for victimizing Monica. These two are truly the stupidest women on the planet. And it was Whoopi Goldberg who, on her first day, came to the defense of Michael Vick, NFL “hero”, reminding everyone that it was “the culture he grew up in” (the South) that was to blame for his participation in “dogfighting”. —This will certainly be news to about 99.9999999% of all Southerners. And it wasn’t “dogfighting” , you idiot. What turns the stomach of most Americans, was his participation is DOG MURDERING, DOG ELECTROCUTION, etc. which was the treatment the dogs who wouldn’t “perform” got. These people have such devious defense strategies that they think that by calling it “dogfighting” people will be diverted and distracted away from what it really was, which was torture of defenseless animals. The proper sentence for Michael Vick would be to allow him to continue playing football, but as soon as he didn’t “perform”, the first time he has a game where he didn’t meet his statistical average, a pack of wild, hungry dogs would be turned loose on HIM.
Getting back to the odious Clinton,don’t forget that the Justice Department under Clinton persecuted no less that 205 “Sex in the Workplace” infractions exactly like those Clinton committed in the Oval Office. But of course they left Clinton out , already having fulfilled their quota.
The View is synonymous with The Twilight Zone. (cue spooky music)
Romney is one of the few candidates still with Wife No. 1.
BaBa and Whoopi have both been married three times, and are single at the moment. Need I say more?
Of course you answered your own question. :) Hasselbeck has good intentions, but she’s easily overpowered by the other three obnoxious liberals. They don’t ever dare even the playing field at two a piece, or put a real strong-spoken conservative like Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham on there. They don’t because they know how they’d end up - battered and bloody every single day.
You got it wrong, Monica has the permanent stain...
...It's on her dress.
That being such that anyone who'd screw over his spouse would screw over his country.
When one takes an oath to God to be faithful to his spouse, and reneges, he's bound to renege on an oath before God to 'preserve, protect and defend'.
The leftist whores, sluts and tramps on the view haven't any morals or honor. How dare they demand respect when they possess none.
Just as algore said. The debate is ove. PC censorship. btw. in what universe would Monica be called a good woman. Come on.
And who's life wouldn't be complete without that?
Oh my!
“You look great - who’s your taxidermist?”
This will certainly be my new favorite.
what the heck is inside that helmet?
