"The View" co-hosts Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck have been in a war of words over the war in Iraq. When Rosie was accused by many media sources of calling American troops terrorists, she turned to her co-hosts for emotional support. Elisabeth was definitely not welcoming Rosie with open arms when Rosie returned to The View stage after hearing what the news was saying about her. Rosie flat out asked Elisabeth whether or not she thought that she was referring to the troops as terrorists and Elisabeth refused to answer the question. After realizing that she wasn't receiving support from Hasselbeck, O'Donnell decided to start a real war of words right there on the stage during the show.

Elisabeth, who has been known to have strong views and an outspoken personality, proceeded to insult Donald Trump. Elisabeth claimed that it was easier for Rosie to fight with Donald Trump because he was obnoxious. When Donald heard about Elisabeth's comments, he had a few words of his own. "Elisabeth is one of the dumbest people on TV" says The Donald, who was clearly not impressed about the comments from either of "The View" hosts.
It's been an on-going battle, and Elisabeth and Rosie have never gotten along well. Not surprisingly, Rosie was not present on today's show and isn't expected to be back on the show until Tuesday. According to representatives from "The View", these were scheduled days off and had nothing to do with the fight between the two women.
So whose side are you on? Do you think that Rosie was correct or are you supporting Elisabeth Hasselbeck? Alicia Silverstone made her support very clear when she appeared as a guest on yesterday's show. Silverstone stepped on stage to converse with the women from "The View" and gave each woman a hug upon arrival - except for Elisabeth! Guess we know whose side she's on.
