To me, there was an implication that Erin was sleazy, and why was her stalker being convicted of something she was basically giving out on national tv. To me, Elizabeth's original statement sounded like the old "she asked for it" accusation. Her lame apology that she hurt someone's feelings doesn't do it for me.

Her apology was irrelevant because IMO she apologized for the wrong reason. And dragging her five year old into it - yuck.

I couldn't find a thread for season 8, so will post this here. Lawrence Taylor Arrested for Rape Lawrence Taylor has been arrested for rape, CBS 2 reports. According to MSNBC, the alleged victim is reportedly 15 years old. The New York Post reports that Taylor and the teenager met through a pimp. LoHud.com reports that Taylor "was charged with third-degree rape, a charge that involves having intercourse with a minor." The 51-year-old NFL legend is accused of beating his victim during the alleged rape. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/06/lawrence-taylor-rape-nfl_n_565910.html

That's awful about LT. Regarding EH, I found her apology revolting. Bringing her daughter into it, to garner sympathy from us, is just disgusting. She didn't apologize for basically saying the victim asked for it, she apologized because she got in trouble for saying so. And the fact that EH's original comments were on cue cards and set up and planned in advance, just makes it all the more sickening. It wasn't an off-the-cuff remark to later regret. It was a planned call out, a planned disparage.

If Mrs Hasselbeck has great family values, I'm glad I live in Los Angeles, where our version of family values doesn't include the belief that just because a woman has been stalked by a man she has to spend the rest of her life covering up. I mean, eh said, "in some way, if I’m him, I’m like, ‘man, I could have just waited 12 weeks … I could have seen this, a little bit less, without the prison time.'" That wasn't bad enough, though. When Ms Behar said, well, you're not so covered up yourself, Mrs Hasselbeck said, "I'm just thinking--coming off of what just happened to her and this guy seeing her and making it seem she was as vulnerable as could be I would think... she has the right...I'm just thinking--where are the other costumes?" So, if god forbid Mrs Hasselbeck's daughter grows up and a sexual predator follows her around and videotapes her nude in the privacy of her home, Mrs Hasselbeck's family values response is, "well, cover up from now on!" It's just revolting.

Reader, I think you are right on point with the judges inflating and deflating the scores. It happens every season. I'm so pulling for Niecy, though. I love her! So sad and sick what Mrs. Hasselbeck said. I don't care for her much, but mostly because of her political views. I thought she was at least a decent person, otherwise.

Interesting on The Insider how they brought up that Elisabeth should be fired or at least put on suspension for those comments - the compared the comments of an ESPN reporter basically saying the same type of rude comments - blaming the victim - and we've come how far in the 21st century? ITA it was sleazy for EH to bring in her 5yr old dd - because I dont get how her dd got involved in the FIRST place? How does a mom have that discussion with their child?

If Behar had said something like that to make a joke, and I can see her saying something like that, I think the audience would have thought it over the top, but with Elizabeth saying it, it made it all the worse. It was a terrible thing to say. I am of the same political bent as EH, but more of an Independent or Objectivist. The person who said I wouldn't fit into the West Coast, a truer word was never spoken.

Reader, IMHO the dd was brought into it when the powers that be tried to figure out how to write an apology that would come across as the most sympathetic and forgiving for EH. As I just posted in The View thread, I'm not buying it because clearly she was reading a prepared statement, not speaking from her heart. Also there were just crying sounds vs any actual tears lolol. But the most notable thing, to me, was Erin made it clear she didn't want an apology. So the fact that EH did so, and so publicly, says to me the apology was all about EH and the Views fans, and had nothing to do with Erin or what SHE wanted!

Well for years I have been on EH's side, not that I agree with her political views but her right to express them. Well I am done with being on her side after her remarks regarding Erin. And to think that she went home and discussed it with her five year old daughter...OMG that is absurd, is this a subject that any of you would discuss with a five year old? I don't think so. What she said is so over the top that she should be either fired or suspended. Remember when that radio host (can't remember his name) made that crude comment about the girls sport team??? He was fired, well the same should happen to EH. Ok now that I got that off my chest, I feel better.
