Friend: Sarah Palin Is Ignoring Elisabeth Hasselbeck
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who once dutifully campaigned alongside
Sarah Palin during her run for higher office in 2008, is no longer feeling the love for the likely presidential candidate, in fact, a close friend of the 'View' star reveals the two haven't spoken in months.
"I think Elisabeth is a good friend. She remembers birthdays and even with a busy schedule always takes time to stay in touch with her girlfriends," a pal tells me. "But Sarah has let her down. Elisabeth has reached out to her several times but she never responds."
It's gotten so grating on Elisabeth that, according to my source, "she has stopped trying all together and doesn't care who knows."
Elisabeth recently accused Sarah of "manipulating" the media to draw attention away from the more-serious Mitt Romney, and mocked her ex-friend's bus tour as another attempt to dominate the headlines. Sarah's decision to roll through New Hampshire on the day Mitt announced his run for the White House clearly annoyed the daytime star.
"If I had termites in my house, I'd get someone in there who could deal with it," Hasselbeck said on 'The View.' "Mitt Romney, right now, his specialty is the economy. I'd have him in there. Here's why we're not hearing it: because Sarah Palin's on a bus, and right now she's manipulating, in terms of media attention."
Before that, Elisabeth also condemned Sarah's "crosshairs" imagery on a fundraising website, calling them "despicable" after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, one of her 'targets' in the 2010 campaign, was shot during a voter meet-and-greet.
"Elisabeth feels used by Sarah," an insider tells me. "When she needed her, she was all over Elisabeth and now she treats her like a stranger. It's sad."

Sarah never went on The View.
Two loon's!
The View is a group of yentas that will hurt you for ratings
Now they are turning on each other and some are finally seeing what a shallow shell Palin is -- she will crawl over you to get to the top. Luv it.
Used then snubbed by Palin. Shocking.
You need a grammar course.
Why wouldnt she ignor you? I cant believe that what ROB says is true. He didnt name his INFO SOURCE - just more junk to discredit Palin because the left is afraid of her - its just that simple yet the Dems dont get it.
EVEN SARAH PALIN WOULD BE A GREAT IMPROVEMENT OVER THE IGNORANT MORON IN THE WHITEHOUSE NOW THAT HAS DONE NOTHING BUT SEND AMERICA INTO A DEBT WE CAN NEVER GET OUT OF AND IS LEADING AMERICA INTO A DOUBLE DIP RECESSION.
with all the "accusing" and "mocking", it's clear that Elisabeth has contracted Harpy's Disease, a terrible affliction, from one of the other members of the cast.
i'm a republican and i have always ignored everyone on the view, where's the hatchet-job on me?
That's what you get for supporting a brainless moron.

....who's on her Short Bus Tour!
second that!
In this case, it's one brainless moron supporting another. I don't think that Palin feels any allegiance to anyone, personally...she seems to believe that she's a one-woman wonder, no loss of love for herself, that's for sure....
So basically she is no diferent than Obama.
Elizabeth! Congrats on your awakening!
That would be "moran" in tea party spelling
Sarah Palin is not my favorite politician, but at least I have the vocabulary and manners not to call her a moron for lack of any other verbal skills- she is very smart and clever to have so many people supporting her and if YOU don't have 1000's showing up every time YOU open your mouth, why does that make HER the moron?
EH hgas had a fine career on The View, doing what she was hired to do, creating controversy- how moronic can that make her?
Name-calling is very 5th Grade.
