Oh noooooooooo: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Wrote a Poem to Tell Her Kids About Bin Laden

The co-hosts of The View today continued the debate about whether the White House should release images of Osama bin Laden's dead body, focusing in part on how the images could scare children. Even more, how do you explain to a little one why an entire nation is cheering someone's death? Worry no more: Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck wrote a bedtime poem special for this occasion. It even rhymes. Do we smell a children's-book deal?

2. I don't recall this kind of concern when Saddam's sons were killed

Their photos were circulated promptly, as I recall, with none of this media hand-wringing. And that's in light of the fact that most Americans didn't even know he HAD sons!

Strange...

8. You'd think that since we paid for it, we could see it

Especially since right this moment, in some obscure corner of the internet, the images and the video are stored behind an "impregnable" security wall that will be breached sooner or later.

5. Adorno once said that poetry would be obscene after Auschwitz

He should have said there can be no poetry after Hasselbeck.
