I'm going to dive right in here:
First of all, she spells her name with an "s". Who does that? (Probably lots of people, but when she does it, its annoying.) Second, she's a big dope who is only on "The View" because
she was a contestant on "Survivor" (although she does seem to know that the world is
round, unlike newer "View" moron Sherri Shepherd).
Now she's pimping her new baby out to the highest bidder, and encouraging
parents to take their underage offspring to the theater:
With Grace! We hit Broadway running, as Disney's THE LITTLE MERMAID
filled our afternoon with magic. I had Grace on my lap for most of it, and for
two hours, my otherwise independent little girl was my baby again. Just to have
one on one time was the greatest gift.
Where to start?
Let us begin with a question: why is your infant under 4-year old child (thanks to commenter Christina for the correction) at the
theater? Imagine paying upwards of $400 ($100/ticket, family of four), not
including dinner or transportation, to see a show and have it be disrupted by a
petulant rugrat. I'm all for introducing young people to the arts, but (a) a
huge Disney production is so commercial that it's only nominally
"art" and (b) at that age they won't remember the experience. I don't
want to be a "hater," but it's just inconsiderate. UPDATE: In fact, it's the theater's policy that "Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre."
Next: unless I'm missing something, the wife of the
less-talented of the two Hasselbeck brothers (Matt Hasselbeck plays for the
Seahawks and went to the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, Tim is a career
backup who was dumped by the Giants and is now the third-string guy on the
Arizona Cardinals – not a lofty position) seems to be saying that, in order to
have "one on one time" with her baby girl, she needs to be in a dark
room with a thousand other people. Much like this drawing (don't go there, it's
one of those things you can't "un-see"), that's just disturbing.
And another thing: "I had Grace on my lap for most
of it." So the rest of the time you checked her with your coat?
By the way, I found Hasseldreck's blog on Strollerderby;
Madeline Holler agrees that it is awful, but also somehow draws you in, like a restaurant with terrible food and portions that are too small. FYI, Elisabeth is done posting, but we're fairly certain she'll find some way to annoy us again very soon.
