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."

first of all who would want this twit for a friend?
sara has no friends, she doesn`t know how to treat people.
As for that bus tour it`s nothing more than a vacation
for her and the family not one dime out of her pocket thanks to her so called supporters and the pee party.

Boy, Lisa you really hit the nail on the head. We just wet our panties waiting for the next tid bit on Sarah. Why I heard she threw her candy wrapper on the ground at a gas stop. CBS picked up on it, but I haven't seen it anywhere else. I just can't wait, can you?
"who would want this twit as a friend?" Another twit.
Aaaaaahhhh! Did someone's widdle feewings get hurt?

...and you really believed that once you left high-school things would change?
This is where we are regarding politics folks. It's nothing more than one more popularity contest and a lot of bickering behind people's backs...if...BIG IF...they don't LIKE ME...
Shut up. Sit down and go away.

Gotta love the lack of loyalty between Republicants. No profit? NO interest

Good God, Elisabeth, took you long enough to see what the rest of America has seen since Day One. Try to keep up, okay?

Sarah Palin will be the next President, get Obama and his money spending wife out of office please..... Yes I said OBAMA he does not deserve the President before his name. Oh and I do have a Masters Degree.

You have to be as crazy as Sarah Palin if you think she could beat ANYONE for the role of President. You with your "Masters Degree" have a better chance of winning!! She doesn't have the brains to be dog catcher.
Why not, you Ignorant Moron. Look I didn't disrespect you, I put the Ignorant before Moron. You deserve that much respect.
A masters degree? In what? Stupidity?
G.W. Bush has a Masters degree also. And we all know what a genius he is.
Ok, time to wake up from your nap. Sarah Palin has the same chance as a snowball in hell of beating our current President. Unemployment could be 15% and people wouldn't vote for her. Half of the Republicans think she's a joke and wishes she would go away. I would imagine that the majority of the people who meet and greet her at these stops are stay-at-home moms; confused non-politicos and retired people who believe everything Fox tells them.
What did you get your Masters in? Ignorance? Mrs. Obama doesn't hold any elected office in this country. Therefore you cannot "get her out of office." Also,what money is she spending that hurts you? The White House has a travel allowance for the President,his aides and family,as well as a clothing budget for both the President and his wife. I'm sure she is staying within that budget and spending no more than Mrs. Bush or Mrs. Clinton did,and probably way less than Nancy Reagan did!
Calicin, where did you get your master's degree....from K-Mart during one of their blue light sales? You must be one of Palin's aides who spit-shines her shoes after she stumbles off the podium during one of her crow-squawking speeches.
Elizabeth just afraid of big fat Behar and wacky Whoopie!

Elizabeth should read "The Lies of Sarah Palin, The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power". She treats everyone this way. She did the same thing to her campaign manager when she was running for Mayor. The people of Alaska think she has a mental disorder. Most think she is narcissistic and that she caters to the dark underbelly of the American psyche.
