It’s a boy for Elisabeth Hasselbeck!
by Winnie McCarthy

Husband Tim Hasselbeck released a statement stating “Elisabeth and I are happy to announce the arrival of our son and we’re thrill he arrived safely. Both mom and son are happy and healthy.” (I am not sure if the typo of “thrill,” as opposed to “thrilled” was in his statement or if it was an error by ABC news where I read the quote)

Congrats, EH, now please retire. Even with the voices in Whoopi’s head (from the IED), Sherri’s worn out boob jokes, and BW’s anti-controversy agenda, The View’s still a thousand times better than when you were there.
November 10th, 2007 at 5:56 pm
Great, little Miss Perfect Elisabeth has her perfect little family with 1 boy and 1 girl…

I know, but look on the bright side though. Maybe now she’ll stop. The fewer people in this world indoctrinated with her nastiness and ignorance the better. Who knows, maybe the kids will even rebel like she did and embrace the opposite views of their parents! Cheers to that!

“Congrats, EH, now please retire. ”
LOL! EH loves the spotlight, I don’t see her walking away from that anytime soon…We can still wish…right.
November 10th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
oy…can’t any of you just be nice and happy? Congrats Elisabeth!! Love you and your views!

Winnie -
Thank you for the nice announcement about EH and her new baby boy. Congratulations to the Hasselbecks.
I agree with “JOE” #5….”CAN’T ANY OF YOU BE NICE AND HAPPY?
This does not seem like the time or place to be writing nasty comments. It amazes me that people can not use proper manners, once in a while. I do my share of giving an opinion, but not at the expense of an innocent baby.
I really feel you meant well, Winnie, and some of these comments are an insult to you and your web site. IMO

marilyn & Joe,
If you want an EH fansite go somewhere else. People have a right to express themselves anyway they see fit.
November 11th, 2007 at 1:42 am
I would like to expand on my comments, I think it would be extremely pretentious for me to come on here posting congratulations to someone I’ve come to dislike like. I respect the fact that others have the courage to also be honest about their feelings.
I don’t see anyone here wishing EH ill will, so it’s a little dishonest to say “at the expense of an innocent baby.”
November 11th, 2007 at 1:48 am
Well you gave me the breaking news … I hadn’t heard she had the kid yet! Altho I completely disagree with her politically, I have to admit I miss her on the View, and was hoping that everything came out all right, so I wish them the best. Now, if she only comes back to the V so I can get pissed at her again!
November 11th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Geez, just because she had a baby the people who dislike her don’t have to start suddenly liking her. No one is wishing her or the baby ill will. Do I like her? NO! Do I want her back on the VIEW? No! Does it mean I have bad manners? Who the heck cares!!
November 11th, 2007 at 8:51 am
LOL, Viva!
“I don’t see anyone here wishing EH ill will, so it’s a little dishonest to say ‘at the expense of an innocent baby.’”
Yep, no one wishes any harm to the kiddo or his mom, so it’s not at his expense. I’m hoping he grows up to be a happy, healthy liberal.

Congrats to Lizzie on her new bundle of joy. That’s sweet that she got a boy.
November 11th, 2007 at 11:52 am
Congratulations to the Hasselbecks! Regardless of the diff. of opinions, you wish people the best. So, there.
November 11th, 2007 at 11:59 am
Elisabeth will announce her son’s name live on the on the program tomorrow.
November 11th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Oops, I got carried away with the “on the”!
November 11th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
“Regardless of the diff. of opinions, you wish people the best. So, there.”
Excuse me, but who here has stated their not wishing the best for EH? I just see people here being direct and honest. It’s hard for me to warm up to someone who thinks torture of other human being is justified.
As Viva said “just because she had a baby the people who dislike her don’t have to start suddenly liking her.”
November 11th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Allegedly on EH’s Wiki entry that her son’s name is either Ryan Timothy or Ryan Thomas. I don’t know if either is true, but we’ll find out Monday!
November 11th, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Babies are always good news and it’s wonderful she had a healthy baby boy. Congrats to them. I’m not a fan of EH or her personality. However as a mom she seems to be doing a great job and I think she’d make an even better full time mom. hint hint
November 11th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
She better not call her son Barry!
November 11th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
#11 Julie “I’m hoping he grows up to be a happy, healthy liberal”.
:-) 
Ditto!
November 11th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
HMMM … that came out weird but you get my point!
November 11th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
“I really feel you meant well, Winnie, and some of these comments are an insult to you and your web site. ”
Jeez Louise (or Marilyn, I should say)–are you kidding???
Winnie, I sure hope you don’t feel insulted here! I reread your post about EH’s baby and it seemed pretty neutral, as you always tend to be on your site with all your postings. You post any and all news about everyone. You leave the editorializing to us.
I always thought it was a blog about The View, not a blog for The View.
It’s possible to hold two thoughts in your head at the same time: (1) Okay, the baby is born and the mother & child are well and that’s great. Nice to hear. and (2) Some of us still hope EH does not return to the show, no matter how bad it has gotten this year.
Loved Barry Manilow’s comment!

I figured princess EH would have a perfect family…now stay home and be a Tsar over your relatives, EH. I am enjoying your absence from “The View” eversomuch!! Guess the boy will be tossing the football around with his dada next week or so EH will announce, true or not.
November 11th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
Considering dada is a washed up 3rd string quarterback let’s hope the little boy gets his football tips from his Uncle Matt.
November 11th, 2007 at 6:27 pm
“let’s hope the little boy gets his football tips from his uncle Matt”
ROTFLMAO !!
November 11th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Awww babies are so special. How fun to have a little boy in the house. I bet the Hasselbecks are so happy and proud.
FWIW, I don’t think the comments expressed by individuals here are a reflection of Winnie or this site. I join Peaches in hoping Winnie does not feel insulted.
November 11th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
Congratulations to EH. I hope she will make a dedication to motherhood and forfeit her “career.” Having it all is not all that it’s cracked up to be. Her kids would truly benefit by having her with them EVERY SINGLE DAY, especially at 11:00 AM EST Monday- Friday.
(I know, she’ll be back, but I just thought I’d try…LOL).
November 11th, 2007 at 10:07 pm
CONGRATS ELISABETH!!How can you not be happy that a wonderful new baby has entered the world?! Much Love and Best of Luck!
November 12th, 2007 at 12:12 am
Thanks Winnie for keeping us informed and up to date. I appreciate you so much.
Congratulations to the Hasselbecks. I’m happy that they had a boy, and to hear that Mon & baby are both well.
I look forward to E.H. coming back.
November 12th, 2007 at 4:10 am
“Her kids would truly benefit by having her with them EVERY SINGLE DAY, especially at 11:00 AM EST Monday- Friday.”
LOL! I agree.
November 12th, 2007 at 6:52 am
I’m guessing she’ll name him Matthew (or some other Biblical name) + Timothy.
November 12th, 2007 at 8:26 am
I heard the baby’s name is going to be George W. Hasselbeck.
November 12th, 2007 at 9:17 am
Thanks for the announcement Winnie! We all know that you are not responsible for our feelings about any of The View characters, be they Rosie or EH.
I have high hopes for the little H’s, may they be compassionate and protesting liberals like their Filarski grandparents!
November 12th, 2007 at 10:15 am
“I heard the baby’s name is going to be George W. Hasselbeck.”
LOL! no way!!
November 12th, 2007 at 10:17 am
[...] Hasselbeck called in live to The View this morning to reveal the name of her new baby boy, who was born last Friday in [...]
