Excerpts:
Indeed, Hasselbeck has argued on-air that adulterers can't be good parents, that the morning-after pill is tantamount to abortion, and that, "especially in a time of war" (one of her favorite phrases), torture is necessary. She typically responds to information she finds discomfiting with "I'd like to research that." She has used the nonexistent word "desperacy" more than once. She has brushed off U.S. casualties of the Iraq war as "unfortunate," while noting the U.S. has an all-volunteer Army.
Walters does reiterate Hasselbeck's appeal among young women viewers, who relate to her as a wife and mother (the Hasselbecks have a 2-year-old daughter, Grace, and are expecting their second child in November). "She tells whhooon-derful stories about her daughter," Walters coos. "For example, on yesterday's show, she told this adorable story about having to borrow her daughter's diapers." (The short version: Hasselbeck peed in two of them after a long car ride to Jersey.) "It was a wonderful story."
