Hasselbeck tried to keep cool with Rosie



Updated: 2007-09-20 10:24



NEW YORK - Elisabeth Hasselbeck says she tried to keep her cool during
her heated on-air spat with Rosie O'Donnell on "The View" earlier this
year.





"I almost had the same feeling in me as when I had a championship
(softball) game and I was up to bat and the pressure was on," the
30-year-old co-host tells Pregnancy magazine. "I'm very lucky that tears
didn't come out. But unfortunately when a woman cries, it's never seen as
a sign of strength and never seen in a positive light."

O'Donnell, 45, left "The View" in May. She chose to depart the ABC
daytime talk show earlier than planned following her on-air confrontation
with Hasselbeck.

Hasselbeck, who is pregnant with her second child, remains one of the
chatfest's more conservative voices.

"Being a conservative mother isn't the challenge," says Hasselbeck, who
appears on the cover of the magazine's November issue, on newsstands
Tuesday. "Being a conservative in New York City on television is the
challenge."

Hasselbeck announced her pregnancy in April. She and her husband, Tim
Hasselbeck, have a 2-year-old daughter, Grace.

She says motherhood has validated the strong opinions for which she has
been criticized.

"Once I had Grace, I had more reassurance and affirmation as to why I
have felt the things I've felt for a long time," she says. "And as a mom,
now I want to make sure that the decisions I'm making and the votes that
I'm casting are going to create long-term benefits for Grace and my next
child and hopefully more to come after that."
