The View‘s Elisabeth Hasselbeck Fumes As James Lipton Criticizes Mitt Romney

I've always admired James Lipton. Sharp. Funny. Smart.

=snip=

Lipton said that he felt Romney was trying to play two roles — that of the unapologetic rich guy and the regular dude — and failing at both as a result. But! Romney has also made a lot of charitable donations, Elisabeth Hasselbeck interjected testily...

commensurate with what it took to make their wealth possible.

And to stop monopolizing everything. It's the difference between "the fish" and "the fishing pole".

She is too obnoxious. Elisabeth doesn't even have to be speaking...you can always tell what she's thinking anyhow.

I cannot stand her and her views. She needs to do a lot of growing up and how she became such a spokesperson for the republicans is beyond me.

with liking or disliking Romney. Her actions were inappropriate and I think Sherri rolled her eyes at Lizzy and even Barbara seem annoyed with her.

Lipton called Rmoney a phony.

Correct, and nothing enrages clownservatives more than the truth.

Anyone notice how Lipton totally ignored her? He didn't look at her or stop talking when she interrupted, nothing. Brilliant. He just ignored her as if her thoughts simply did not matter to him.

"Romney has also made a lot of charitable donations" that does not make up for the economical damage he has done and the lives he has destroyed.

I believe the bulk of Romney's charitable donations were to his church, which uses the money mainly for missionary trips where two clean-cut guys on bicycles try to convert everyone they see.

How this benefits society is a mystery to me and should not be tax-deductible.
