Say Goodbye to Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s Pyjamas!

Republican hearts raced this morning as conservative pin-up girl Elisabeth Hasselbeck told the audience of The View that she’d be showing off what she wears to bed every night. Would it be an oversized McCain/Palin ‘08 tee? A frilly nightgown from the Fox News.gift shop? Or maybe even a fetching blue two-piece?

None of the above! Instead, Hasselbeck settles in for a nice late-night viewing of On the Record with Greta Van Susteren wearing a clashing mix of baggy, patterned separates. Now, sadly, she must burn them, as her husband’s recent laser eye surgery has rendered him suddenly aware of Elisabeth’s retina-scorching ensemble. Worse than his reaction, though, is the disapproval from a scandalised Barbara Walters, who drops a few hints about what naughty things she might wear to bed. Barbara, that Victoria’s Secret chantilly lace slip was meant for Ellen’s eyes only!
