Elisabeth Hasselbeck of 'The View' gives birth to a boy, Isaiah

Categories: News, Television

ABC News is reporting that The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck has given birth to a boy, Isaiah. He weighs seven pounds, seven ounces. (Hey, same as my eldest daughter weighed at birth!)

Congratulations, Elisabeth!

In one of his books, the poet William Blake recounts a vision of the Biblical prophet Isaiah, in which Isaiah says “my senses discovered the infinite in every thing.” Here’s hoping Isaiah Hasselbeck brings nothing but infinite joy to his parents, Elisabeth and her husband, ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Tim Hasselbeck!

    Just what we need…another republican.

    • noel

      hey now, first off, no need to trash a birth. and secondly, another republican, says who? Both my folks were and are die-hard republicans. I’m not. I’m fairly sure that can be said for many people, on both sides of the aisle.

      That being said, I’m sure that the View will all now be able to weigh in on the subject of Elizabeth’s baby’s political orientation, in agonizing detail. I’m hoping it devolves into a shouting match over the “true” origin of the name “Isaiah”, whether his political views will affect his football talent, and an impassioned plea to “support our freedom babies”.

      How many chromosomes does this one have?

      • joe m

        One less that you…

    • Barbara Gates

      Maybe we *do* need another Republican! On The View, they are outnumbered 3 to 2! That’s almost as bad as Congress or the Electoral College. If it were not for Republicans, Elizabeth would have been forced to abort her perfect God-giving child, and a new realm of darkness would have fallen over this great American world of ours.

  • wakeforce

    that’s both good news and GREAT news. The good news is the baby, the great news is Lizzie will be on maternity leave for a few weeks! We’re all winners!

  • FDR

    Well said, by two retarded dumbocrats. Its people like you that will bring this country to its knees. Morons.

  • Suzanne

    CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HASSELBECK FAMILY!
    I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!

  • imjustnoisy

    THANK GOD WE GET A BREAK FROM THAT KNOW IT ALL B.I HOPE SHE TAKES SIX WEEKS LIKE MOMS USE TO TAKE.I WISH SHE COULD BECOME A STAY AT HOME MOTHER.

  • imjustnoisy

    PLEASE BECOME A STAY HOME MOTHER AND MAKE US ALL HAPPY.

  • Betsy from Burlington

    Oh My……….you people are nasty. Demo leaves a terrible note hoping she would die in child birth. Shame on You. If you don’t like her then DON’T watch “The View” ……..you watch by choice so stop complaining. People who write crappola like above are surely going to ‘meet their maker’ eventually. Try being nice once…….. someone might like you then. Such ashame people are so full of hate!

    • Ashley

      Thank you Betsy! Im glad I’m not the only one that thinks its lame how people get huffy over such little things. She had a baby. The miracle of life. Why can’t people celebrate that and now label the child already of what it is or hoping his mother would die. Disappointing how much people waste their energy on hate.

      • Jesus

        You do realize that by spending the time to write your little screed about how terrible haters are…that you are also wasting your time on hate?
        Maybe you need to rethink your priorities and get back to Me.

    • tma6469

      I dont understand why everyone hates this girl so much. I personally dont agree with anything she says or represents, but she has a point of veiw shared by lots of other people. The show is called The View, not One View shared by All. Its always amusing and interesting to hear her get fired up, i’ll personally miss her while she’s gone. Oh, and congrats on the baby.

    • god

      Ummmm just to let you know there is no GOD you stupid rep. so go please and watch you VIEW instead of working!

    • Tom

      You’re right. I don’t like her. I don’t watch her.

    • Pat

      These people are just jealous of Elizabeth because she is:

      l. beautiful

      2. successful

      3. rich

      4. famous

      Very sad that there is so much animosity in this world. I don’t care what party you follow, I could never say the horrible comments that these people are saying.

      Shame on all of you!

  • imjustnoisy

    DEMO,you should be ashame of yourself.Why would you hope her kids would be left without a mom? Most people just want a break from her.

  • gsd

    I can’t believe you people. Do you hate someone who doesn’t think along the same narrow path that you do that you would wish them dead? What has this country come to? A young woman has just given birth to a child you should give her thanks because that child will be helping to pay for your retirement and medicare. I feel sorry for you but even worse I pity your mothers. I bet they thought they taught you better.

    • Diabeetus

      I hate those who hate things i hate to hate!

    • joe

      My mom is dead you insensitive jerk.

      • Ed Gein

        I know, I like them cold

    • djm

      Congrats on the boy, I thought the definition of Liberal means open minded and able to listen to other VIEWS. Why is it so many people who claim to be liberal want to silence the conservative view? I though you were open minded.

      • Mimi

        Yeah, right. Liberals are more closed minded than Conservatives. Atleast Conservatives are tolerant of others views. Not so with Liberals. Whoopie is a prime example. So was Rosie.

  • imjustnoisy

    It’s not her way of thinking that gets on your nerve it’s the way she talks,whine and rudely butt in everyone’s conversation.By the way,she gets on my mother’s nerve too.

  • bj

    glad to know she had a healthy, baby boy – her chances of having a gay child have now increased ten fold – good for her – perhaps she will soon see that she needs to leave the limelight and tend to her every growing flock – had she not p.o.’d rosie – i am sure rosie would have assisted her in placing a cork in it – just another example of conservative republicans leaving their mark on the world – instead of assisting the rest of the world in raising the children left behind by the effects of legislation they helped shove down the throats of honest hard working americans – i am sure she sleeps quite well at night on her feather down pillow – will her children sleep so well when they look back at the world she and her hatred helped create – i wish for her nothing more than what she gave to the rest of the world -

  • Cipriano Gonzalez

    This is news? Who gives a…

    • Monica

      You do, that’s why you read this and posted something.

  • catpurrson

    Since Elisabeth is all about “family values,” how about the b*i*t*c*h stays home, raises the kid, and keeps her trap off The View.

    • Sue

      WELL PUT CATPURRSON!!! I really like Whoopie and would love to watch the show again.

      • Dara

        why don’t all you haters get a life ,you don’t like whose on the view don’t watch !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • disgusted

    The comment, “I wish she had died in childbirth” is one the most disgusting posts I have ever seen. Our society has truly become equal to Nazi’s Germany, when anyone who disagreed with the government was killed. Opposing viewpoints were not tolerated. I am shocked and disgusted that in this country of “Free Speech” we wish someone was DEAD rather than tolerate the difference of their ideas. Elizabeth Hasselbeck deserves an apology from that imbecile. Just because someone disagrees with another person’s opinion does not mean that person is not worthy of respect.

  • imjustnoisy

    Elisabeth and Tim +8 and they will soon have a reality show.

  • caity

    silly people. why do u care so much? don’t ya got ur own family at home to care about, rather than elisabeth’s.

    • Bill

      I am very concerned about your spelling and punctuation. See me after class please.

  • Just AnotherMom

    Wouldn’t the world be a lovely place if we all agreed on everything. But so dull don’t ya think? Congrats on the baby and best wishes from an Independent voter and thinker in Ohio.

  • Tom L

    Who on earth cares? Not me.

  • Mary Beth Smith

    Congrats Elisabeth. I am a democrat with respect. I can’t believe you other idiots making our party look bad. Have a little respect for her and her family. This is the United States of America…people have other opinions. Sounds like some of you are just jealous of her and must be still fat from having a child 20 years ago. Remember Demo, what goes around comes around. Grow up and stop acting like a child.

  • Justin

    dont hate on demo he is human too, i dislike her but dont’ want her to die but would like her to just conviently disapear forever not die though. lol but i am serious she is a silly blonde that shouldnt have been on tv to begin with but ratings is why she is still there when barbara finally gets tired of her or she starts to age and look less apealling as most caucasian women start to do in there thirties we won’t have to worry about her for a while but someone else just as bad maybe a brunetee this time in their twenties who gives a hot tamale anywho

  • Erick

    I think this was great article and all the best to Elizabeth. It wasn’t snarky and only positive. Why can’t your paper manage this on a regular basis? Yeah, yeah, I know she is an “evil” conservative. But 99% of the time you’re just not mature enough to deal with anyone who doesn’t stupidly buy into your groupthink.

    • HURRman

      Of course not, far preferable are publications that buy into your personal stupid groupthink. Like FARK.com.

  • imjustnoisy

    If Barbara wasn’t suffering from everything there is,she could be a part time nanny,however;between her and Ebeth,the kids would be nuts.They both need to leave the show and bring in someone who in Barbara’s case,know what they are talking about without having to stop and get clarity from others or act as if the viewers are as dumb as she acts.There’s no hope for Sherrie being the table’s clown.I know that Barbara will be on everyday that EBeth is off so there’s no hope.I’ve begun to watch other shows on that time frame.(Wedlock or Deadlock)

  • pawprints54

    I find the constant use of the word “bitch”" in some of these postings offensive. Why is it anymore acceptable to use this degrading and dehumanizing sexist slur than it would be to use a degrading and dehumanizing racial slur? Where are the censors?

    Tiny Fingers To Grasp
    copywrite©LavinaBurgess

    Tiny fingers to grasp
    Wee mouth to kiss
    Skin so soft and silky
    To the tender touch

    Mommy and daddy
    Tucks him in
    Says… God bless you
    And sweet dreams

    Little toes that wiggles
    That… just makes you giggle
    Little sounds from his tiny mouth
    We hear while he sleeps

    Soft music into the night
    Will keep the angels near
    While he sleeps
    Till the morning light

    Angels of God so loved
    Protect this child, we do love
    Let him grow
    To be healthy and bright
    Through everyday… of his precious life

    God Bless you… Tim & Elisabeth Hasselbeck with your new son Isaiah! ;-)

  • Kitt

    If anybody is a real nerve tap it’s Joy Bahar. What a big mouth, according to her the View is her bully pulpit. I’m sick of her constant criticisms and whining about the right wing. God forbid anyone says anything good and she’s on the attack with her biting remarks.. can’t stand her, stopped watching, she uses the show as platform to shoot her mouth off…

  • bart

    Damm, alot of negative vibes in the air! I guess thats the world we live in. What a Sham! Where I come from we say Congrats, and good Luck

  • CW

    Congrats to the Hasslebecks! Some of the above comments are disgusting, and I am a democrat

  • cynthia

    just because she speaks her mind (i know, she’s rather irritating) does not mean you have to wish her ill will. anyone can speak their mind at anytime about anything, but not ill will. get a life………no, get a brain.

    • Ricardo Cabeza

      She does speak her mind, which is interesting in that there is nothing of substance coming out. This is a solid confirmation of the vacuum between her ears. And, as my final point, penis.

      That is all.

  • JSD

    thank you,kitt!!behar barbs the republicans every chance she gets…you could not said it better..

  • Monica

    Whether you like her or not…there is NOTHING remotely funny about that comment!

    • Hey

      Who died and made you a mod? Drew Curtis?

    • dave

      Sure there is. If she had died it would be even funnier.

      • Pat

        Grow up, Dave!!

        Everyone is just jealous of her because she is 1. rich – unlike you
        2. famous – unlike you
        3. beautiful – unlike you
        4. successful – unlike you
