As a fellow Elisabeth Hasselbeck hater, I definitely am siding with Barry Manilow on this one. Of course, my reasons for disliking Elisabeth are purely superficial, as always, but whatever, right? I mean, I’m sure if I could stand her long enough to hear her views, I’d probably dislike her for that but I can’t stand her voice. She may be cute for a mom but she’s a biotch. Barry was going to be on The View but the producers said Barry had to cooperate. He couldn’t.

“I wanted to let you know that I will no longer be on The View tomorrow as scheduled. I had made a request that I be interviewed by Joy, Barbara or Whoopi but not Elisabeth Hasselback. Unfortunately, the show was not willing to accommodate this simple request, so I bowed out.”

Simple request! Ha! If you think about it, it would be such a burn on Elisabeth if he was on the show and she wasn’t allowed to talk. Awesome! Add Barry Manilow to my list of (my) Monday heroes that make me happy. (See below for confusion!)
