Staunch conservative Republican and Co-Host of THE VIEW Elizabeth Hasselbeck, had some choice words for “Joe the Plumber,” who recently quit the GOP. It seems when “Joe” quit the party, he also made some disparaging comments against gay citizens that was even too much for Elizabeth to handle.

In a lengthy interview with Christianity Today, “Joe” said: “People don’t understand the dictionary–it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do–what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.”`
Apparently his tasteless dose of reality didn’t sit well with Hasselbeck, who said on air Friday: “I think this is an ignoramus statement. In that specified corner to which he had a life during this election, I was even a person who thought, you know what, power to Joe the Plumber at that point. Well, Joe the Plumber is not invited anywhere around ME.” Joy Behar promptly screamed, “Turning! Turning! Turning!” implying that the ultra conservative Hasselbeck was turning into a Democrat.

Anyway, another story that I find equally absurd: "John Edwards' aides had plotted to sabotage his campaign over affair"George Stephanopoulos:[I’ve talked to a lot of former Edwards staffers about this. Up until December of 2007, most on Edwards’ staff didn’t believe rumors about the affair.But by late December, early January of last year, several people in his inner circle began to think the rumors were true. Several of them had gotten together and devised a “doomsday” strategy of sorts.Basically, if it looked like Edwards was going to win the Democratic Party nomination, they were going to sabotage his campaign, several former Edwards’ staffers have told me.They said they were Democrats first, and if it looked like Edwards was going… Read more »
