In response to Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Tearful Last 'The View,' and Why We'll Miss Her:

"She held it down for 10 years strong in her opinions. Though I didn't agree with her views It was good to see that dynamic on the show and show that Democrats and Republics could actually worked together. If they can do that on a show why can't they do that in Washington."

In response to Why Jenny McCarthy Is Worse Than Elisabeth Hasselbeck :

"I think she would be terrific. She's funny and talented. It's never dangerous for the public to question the safety of drugs being given to their children. Maybe it causes some of the case, and maybe other factors cause others. But they haven't figured it out yet, and 1 in 50 is a public health crisis that very few people talk about. Thank goodness we still have free speech."
