Video: Women's sexuality can change later in life, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck will always be an idiot

Why is it that the people who know the least about human sexuality have the most to say on the subject?

Yesterday, the daily hen party, "The View" discussed a study that was released earlier this month that showed what anybody with a brain stem has known for a very long time: women's sexual orientation is more fluid than men's and can change over the course of their lives.

It makes perfect sense to me that witless wonders Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd once again have something stupid to say on the subject. To her credit, Shepherd had the sense to shut up and listen once she heard the how stupid she sounded when she said, "is that like as women get older it's like a 'been there done' that kinda thing?"  Seriously, Sherri? They pay you for this shit? At least she put it in the form a question, indicating that maybe there's a glimmer of hope for her.

But leave it to Hasselbeck to assert that she knows the real answer without having to ask any questions at all. The dim-witted daytime diva asserts that older women turn gay because older men are going after younger women, leaving older women with no choice but each other.

My brain hurts.

Once again it's up to Joy Behar to school these two idiots, telling them that women come out later in life because they bought the lie that they had to get married and have kids in order to be real women. By the way, a lot of men fall into the same trap.

Take a look.

The View: Shepherd, Hasselbeck show their asses, Aiken as the "Token Gay"

Clay Aiken was a guest panelist on The View yesterday, so naturally one of the subjects the mid-morning yenta fest took on was the Pentagon's highly biased and insulting DADT survey. As usual Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck had something stupid to say on the subject.

Our boy Clay talks about his brother, currently serving in the marines, who is on board with most aspects of gay rights but has an issue with the demise of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The ever-obtuse Shepherd suggests that maybe he needs to talk to somebody about his feelings on the subject. Hasselbeck, the Sarah Palin wanna-be, naturally takes the opinion that it's the straights that will be most affected by a change in the discriminatory military policy. Not once was the issue of lying about who you are in order to serve your country ever raised.

History 101: When President Truman ordered an end to racial segregation in the armed forces 62 years ago, no survey was conducted to see how the troops felt about showering with African-Americans, nor were they asked to share their feelings with a counselor.

As recently as February, 2010, when the U.S. Navy decided to allow women to serve on submarines with their male counterparts, no survey was conducted. The order was given and followed. End of story.

My dad was a career military man and (for the short time he stuck around) taught us what every service member knows: when the order is given, you follow it without question. If you step out of line, you will be disciplined. That's the way it works in the military. Are we going to start doing surveys before every order is carried out now?

Thank God Clay was on hand to keep the discussion on track, but it seems like, at least for this discussion, he's the token gay being used to "safely" discuss the issue. You would think that Whoopi and Sherri would be a little more sensitive about tokenism, but what do I know?
