Over the weekend, George W. Bush demonstrated perhaps his most terrifying lapse in judgment in an administration full of such moments: he let Elisabeth Hasselbeck into the Oval Office.

Relax: Hasselbeck still doesn't have the football or the nuclear codes. We think. Still, the White House visit (as recounted on today's episode of The View) was a worrisome reward for the conservative cohost; we can sympathize with Joy Behar, who gnawed on her inner cheek throughout Hasselbeck's story, then spat blood into her coffee mug during the commercial break. At least Hasselbeck's baby son seized the opportunity to attempt a headbutt that would knock the president out of commission. He is a secret liberal and will be thrown into Gitmo immediately.

As for this, we're pretending it never happened. For your health.
