I am sorry she didn't fall off a cliff on Survivor, now knowing what she has become. She is a joke and I would have voted to send her in Logan's place. Elizabeth, I am sorry, but you are voted off the island.

She sounds... concerned.

That was some epic butthurt...

To be fair, for all the things the woman can be made fun of for, she chooses this moment?

If you shoved a lump of coal up her ass, she'd squeeze out a diamond. Then she could polish it with the sand in her vagina.

Let it go Lizzy, let it go. It was a farking year ago. You have to be one shallow individual to let a joke get to you like that.

Maher was talking about the Sandusky/PSU scandal which continued for over a decade, and she's more concerned about ten seconds of a monologue? Petty

That is one sandy vagina.

Farking twat. She says it didn't bother her personally but it so obviously did. Claiming she's speaking up for women, what horseshiat. It's a joke on a comedy show on HBO you humorless dolt, hell when she repeated it her own audience laughed.

You know wasn't awkward at all? That video. That was Maher telling her to lighten the hell up because she's not a victim, she's a public figure and he's a comedian. F*cking conservatives, always the victims, aren't you?

I wonder if Kristin Wiig has ever been on the View. I don't like Wiig in general, but her Hasselbeck impression is dead-on and not kind to Elizabeth.

I have a feeling Maher will be including Hasselbeck in several future monologues as a result.

WTF was Bill Maher doing on The View? Not exactly his target demo.

Anyway, thanks subby for making me watch my first and hopefully last 3 minutes of that show.

/Guinen couldn't get a word in edgewise

Jake Havechek: I used to be neutral on Whoopi but when she gave Michael Vick and Polanski a pass I realized she doesn't know what the fark she's talking about.

That's farked up.

She is more important than the children who were actually abused.

Makh: She is more important than the children who were actually abused.

Now that you mention it, she did kill a conversation about abused children so she could make herself out to be some poor, downtrodden victim, didn't she? F*cking twat.

Whenever I hear her name I can't help but think of

"Wingelbert Humptyback, Zingelbert Bembledack, Tringelbert Wangledack, Zengelbert Bingledack, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Vingelbert Wingledanck WAIT, go back one!"

That's about the worst I can say about that clip because other than that, she was right. Not because it was about her, but because the joke wasn't funny and it was in poor taste. Joking about Lara Logan getting gang raped was not funny. It wasn't edgy. It wasn't hip. It was ugly, and he deserved, at the very least, to squirm for that especially after dropping the pander bomb about how men need women to keep them balanced.

gilgigamesh: Joking about Lara Logan getting gang raped was not funny.

Oh, come on. 8 out of 9 people involved thought it was *hilarious*

Wendy's Chili: He said the same thing about balance on his own show. And he never made any gang rape jokes that I'm aware of.

What do you think is the premise of the joke? Lara Logan got gang raped in the riots after the fall of Mubarak. He suggested sending Hasselbeck over there; the implication being that she should be gang raped.

I don't give a fig about Hasselbeck's hurt feelings, but that is still a joke about gang rape however you slice it.

gilgigamesh: Joking about Lara Logan getting gang raped was not funny. It wasn't edgy. It wasn't hip.

So sayeth you.

His audience laughed and even The View audience laughed. That's the problem, humor is subjective. Just because you don't think it's funny doesn't mean it isn't funny. Although I disagree with him that you can link an all male sports locker room to pedophilia I do agree that there's something there when he makes the argument in relation to highly religious societies and how they tend to wind up treating women like shiat.

Not sure if that makes any sense. Probably not.

After Maher threw a jab at Republicans, Hasselbeck said, "You're so brilliant, wow, I actually feel smarter sitting next to you."

"Really? I feel like I'm in high school next to you," Maher returned


Heh... Maher's an annoying little troll of a man, but that was good.

Hasselbeck is a twat. Let it go, Princess. You're not that important.

Wait, I thought his name was Pig Maher now?

With that cartoon character voice, why isn't she yapping for Fox news yet?

WalkingCarpet: So sayeth you.

His audience laughed and even The View audience laughed. That's the problem, humor is subjective. Just because you don't think it's funny doesn't mean it isn't funny.

Yes, so sayeth me. Pretty much everyone else here stated an opinion defending Maher's gang rape joke; I stated mine. I don't think what happened to Lara Logan was funny.

Sometimes I like Bill Maher. But he has a smug tendency to think of himself as an edgy hipster, as was evident from his half-assed explanation. Well he isn't. His joke writers suck. I mean, compare the tired crap he peddles on his show against the stuff the Daily Show delivers on a daily basis. His shiat is weak, son. It wasn't even a funny joke, and he plays it off with, "MMyyyaaass, we do edgy humor which not everyone will geeeet. It's not that people don't get it. It's that it is weak and unfunny.

Again, my opinion.

See, now that is funny.

lordaction: She is just more proof that conservative women are hotter then liberal women.

Sure, if you're into bolt-ons and dye jobs.

gilgigamesh: Yes, so sayeth me. Pretty much everyone else here stated an opinion defending Maher's gang rape joke; I stated mine. I don't think what happened to Lara Logan was funny.

Fair enough. He probably should have just left it at "it's a joke" instead of trying to excuse himself for saying it because he thinks he's edgy.

AnubisMan: gilgigamesh: I don't give a fig about Hasselbeck's hurt feelings, but that is still a joke about gang rape however you slice it.

Don't completely write off jokes about gang rape, gang rape can be funny.

Actually, if was a funny joke I wouldn't be wasting my time with the criticism. Let me restate what I said: I don't think this joke about gang rape was funny; it was mailed in and obvious.

If you are going to joke about someone getting gang raped, make damned sure its a good joke so its at least defensible on that level.

Especially if clowns are involved...

I guess what I am saying is I am not offended by gang rape. I am offended by bad jokes.

Does that make me a horrible person? Probably.

The Homer Tax: she's as dumb as a box of bricks, which by itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. The problem here is that she's been told her whole life how smart and funny she is, and how much her opinion matters by dudes who are trying to fark her because she's pretty.

That right there is why the "high school" dig was funny. Her whole life is like high school forever, and he hit on that vibe perfectly.
