Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was on The View this morning, and things got both political and personal. First, Barbara Walters told him she found him "very sexy". Then, token right-winger Elisabeth Hasselbeck got on the Senator's ass about the controversial statements made by his pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. Obama responded in part by asking Hasselbeck to imagine how she'd feel if someone compiled a clip of five of the stupidest things she'd ever said, and we started salivating. Above, our gift to Obama: A clip compilation with some of Hasselbeck's most idiotic bon mots.

Damn my lack of audio! Damn, damn, damn! All I'm getting is that look of exasperation of Babs' face -- anyone care to transcribe?
Only five? Man, that must have been hard to narrow down.
Oh shit, can someone transcribe this?
@jenndavo: JINX!
When he said that the audience laughs and then Joy looks up and chuckles.
Elizabeth is an idiot.
Dammit. Now I'm gonna have to vote him.
Heh... And then, let's go slap our banker!
Five minutes isn't enough.
What Obama fails to address is that, if these are the stupidest things the Rev. has said, why is his church selling them on DVD? That would indicate that he and the church were proud of them.
Bahahaha! Thank you Jezebel for this gift of Friday goodness.
You just know that this is *exactly* what Obama wanted someone to do.
@BAngieB: I'm gonna vote the shit outta this motherfucka!!
@AthertonMerriweather: I meant five things...blerg.
OH.MY.GOD. I just realized who my friend reminds me of. Elizabeth. Seriously. But a brunette Elizabeth. She says the same kind of completely asinine things as well. Last night she said sex shouldn't be fun because it's a serious thing, and started quoting Bible verses. And she hates the word VAGINA.
@Sugarless: I swear Joy had a vision this clip. She knew what was coming.
God bless you, ladies. Amazing.
Dear Elizabeth Hasselbeck,
please consider becoming a transsexual so I don't have to claim you as part of my gender.
kisses,
all women everywhere
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, abortion, booger, be careful, evil
That about sums it up. But I'm sure you could have words out of a "dumbass grab bag" and pretty much hit the nail on the head.
No, Dahmer obvs ate Nutella sandwiches. He liked the dark stuff.
Obama, them's fighting words!
I'm glad he was sassy right back. I've yet to watch The View because I'm very concerned about preserving the few brain cells I have remaining. I fear that the few moments of both it and Tyra's show that I catch weekly on the Soup still erode quite a bit of gray matter.
Joy Behar is stifling her laugh so hard.
@Tambo: pulled....pulled words out of the grab bag...dammit.
Ooooh! Much better compilation than Fitna!
There is no shortage of idiocies uttered by that woman.
Evil indeed, Hasselbitch.
@jenndavo: @ineffable.me: Here's the Cliff Notes version: "Peanut butter, abortion for superficial reasons, Gloria Steinem, booger hanging from my nose...[grabbing of the boobs]." Cheers!
I just feel so sorry for her husband.
Obama: 1
Hasselbeck: 0
Wait, no maybe I can guess and then you people with audio can tell me if I'm right
1. If you're so american, why don't you say the pledge of allegiance?
2. Since you're middle name is Hussein, do you think that when you become president the terrorists will take that as an invitation to come here and do whatever they want? Because your name gives them permission?
3. Are you afraid that when your kids get older you wont be able to control them because since you married a black woman they are blacker than you?
4. What's your zodiac sign?
oh you mean, the stupidest things SHE ever said? I thought it was the 5 stupid questions she asked him.
Oh well, I bet you she was thinking these anyways.
@Tambo: Another jinx, woo!
I only post on Wonkette, but I have to say, there are far more idiotic things Hasselbeck has said on the View. And that's just what I saw on HuffPo. Like what she said about Iraq.
@pursewhore: thanks!
@jenndavo:
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Evil.
Booger.
Abortion.
Careful or these are coming out next.
Aren't you glad you asked?
@BAngieB: my thought exactly.
@Ozyman666: Dude, it's not his church. He's a member. I'm sure he doesn't have any say-so about what they sale in the church store.
@jenndavo: Jeffery Dahmer once enjoyed the PB&J, but lest we not forget he ate people. Elizabeth has a booger no one told her about, but wants to show Babs her tatas (careful what you wish for, Babs, they're comin out!). Blah blah the military protects your freedom to run your mouth blah blah. Abortions are superficial!
LOVE. HIM. UP. His sister lives in Hawaii and is a gorgeous, smart high school science teacher with a gorgeous husband. Those are some genes.
@brookidy:
Really? I imagine he's just as daft as she. I'm more worried about the children.
How many hours did it take for you to narrow down the many options for her top five, Slut Machine? And I now love Obama and Behar even more.
Loves it.
I'm sick of this Pastor drama. I'm actually kind of disappointed Obama is trying to distance himself from the Pastor instead of recognizing and reminding us that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
@ineffable.me: I didn't watch the show - she seriously asked him these questions?!
@SouthernSatine: I wish I lived in Chicago so I could vote for him more than once!
@brookidy: Don't... From what I understand, she was moderately sane before she married into that family.
@pandorasmittens: @lurkystars: HA! She's like a three-year-old with Tourette's. "Booger! Peanut Butter! Boobs boobs boobs!"
@blackbirdfly: eh - he's kinda got to. At least he didn't "disown" the guy, as most people were calling for. That shows some guts, IMO
OMG that was priceless. PRICELESS.
@MumbletyEmma: OH, the kids are screwed. They're little young Republicans already, I imagine. heil!
@blackbirdfly: Yeah, same here. The only thing his pastor said that made me go "Quoi?" was the thing about the government creating AIDS or whatever. But since most people on the street probably believe humanity contracted AIDS by eating monkey brain soup or some shit, I can forgive it.
I just don't get where was was going with the peanut buter and jelly sandwiches line of thinking.
Dommer, sandwiches, people... people-sandwiches?
@blackbirdfly: It's all true.
Elizabeth makes a good case for Eugenics. She hasn't been sterilized why?
@Ozyman666: I don't think that Obama had any input on the church taping and selling his sermons. A lot of churches do that-- especially with a minister so well-respected in the Theological community.
but what did Elisabeth say when he asked her that?
BTW, that screengrab contains the most subtle "bitch please" look I have ever seen.
@TeenageGangDeb: it's more likely to be a creation of the CIA than a creation of God to punish the gays, which is what GOP-approved churches will tell you.
@FoggyFroggy: Right. Like the time she said if we let gay people marry each other then we might as well let people marry toasters.
Okay, people. What is this show? How do you all know what it is? Everyone seems to know all about it. I'm mystified. Isn't it on, like, while we're working? Do you lucky slobs work at home?
