The View Hosts Giggle About ‘Unzipping’ Mitt Romney

Oh, there was lots of evocative imagery on The View today! The cohosts were discussing a recent wave of conservative endorsements for Mitt Romney, from George Pataki to former candidate Jon Huntsman. The common thread in these endorsements was that nobody seemed all that excited about making them, which Elisabeth Hasselbeck ascribed to Sore Loser Syndrome (“Once a competitor, always a competitor”). Whoopi Goldberg couldn’t resist noting that these were pretty “limp endorsements,” which was a perfect segue into discussing Ann Romney’s comment that “we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out.”

It’s good to know that even in this endless primary season the panel hasn’t lost its sense of humor, because Goldberg could barely get through a summary of the story without dissolving into giggles. Elisabeth Hasselbeck got off one more odd comment that wouldn’t have seemed strange were it not for the double entendres that preceded it: “It’s okay that [he’s] stiff” (Oh, boy!) which she followed up with “It’s okay that [he has] a lot of money because [he knows] how to make a lot of money.” Never a dull moment on this show.
