text: Just call her “Elisabeth Open Mouth & Insert Foot!” Just a month after her conservatism prompted her to make some seemingly sexist remarks about stalking victim Erin Andrews, The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck is back in the news after courting controversy over her views on late-in-life lesbianism. 
   
   Let’s just say the Meredith Baxters of the world are none too pleased with Hasselwack’s assertion that a male obsession with younger women has driven would-be cougars to the nearest labia. You see in Lizzie Land women turn to other women because there are no available men. 
   
   Oh Elisabeth, it takes real work to make Sarah Palin look like the smartest Republican with a vagina, but it appears you’ve managed to trump asinine remarks like: “I read all newspapers…” and “I can see Russia from my house….” 
   
   Is it possible for someone to actually have an IQ of negative zero? If so, I think Elisabeth just earned a gold in the Idiot Olympics. The phrase “Gurl, Good Damn Day!” springs to mind. Someone willing to say something like that on national television cannot possibly have any common sense or gay or lesbian friends. Elisabeth, please invest in Rent-A-Lez or something such service before opening your flytrap again. 
   
   Panelist Joy Behar seemed the most taken aback by Elisabeth head-scratching logic, blasting the remarks as “ridiculous.” (Somebody get this lady a gold star!) 
   
   “Being gay is not just holding hands and walking through the tulips,” Behar argued. “I don’t think you suddenly wake up one day and say, ‘Oh, I wanted to do that.’ You wanted to do it, but you were just trapped in a system that has just said, ‘get married.’”

   Warga/News 'The View' host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is catching some heat for her comments about late blooming lesbians. 
   
   Elisabeth Hasselbeck thinks a lot of older lesbians would have turned out straight ... if they could only land a man. 
   
   The co-host of "The View" said older women who have led heterosexual lives are choosing same-sex partners because men their age are chasing younger women. 
   
   "All the older men are going for younger women, leaving the women with no one," Hasselbeck said on Tuesday. 
   
   Joy Behar, a co-host of the show, immediately blasted the 33-year-old, calling her late-blooming lesbian claim "ridiculous." 
   
   "Being gay is not just holding hands and walking through the tulips," Behar said. "I don't think that you suddenly wake up and say, 'You know, I think I want to do that.' You wanted to do it; you were just trapped in a system that said 'get married.' " 
   
   Hasselbeck then said that women might turn to homosexuality later in life not for sex, but companionship. 
   
   The conservative Hasselbeck has been known to spar with her more liberal co-hosts and is no stranger to controversial statements. She once argued that the morning-after pill should be banned even in cases of rape and incest, and she criticized ESPN's Erin Andrews for being the victim of a stalking because she was "wearing next to nothing."
target: – She's blabbed about everything from Erin Andrews' outfits to her own nipple, and now Elisabeth Hasselbeck is sharing her theory of lesbianism. The conservative View co-host says older women become lesbians simply because they just can't land a man, reports the New York Daily News. "All the older men are going for younger women, leaving the women with no one," she says. Hasselbeck told viewers that lesbians link up for companionship, not sex—a claim which her co-host, Joy Behar, called "ridiculous." "Being gay is not just holding hands and walking through the tulips," Behar says. "Oh Elisabeth," quips Pop Crunch, "it takes real work to make Sarah Palin look like the smartest Republican with a vagina."
