Today and Wednesday on The View, the panel of women are dedicating the full hour to pre and post inauguration activities.  They have dubbed the two shows Red, White and View.

One of the pre-recorded segments today showed Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd visiting Washington D.C.  Elisabeth, a staunch Republican, wanted to get into the White House.   The comedic piece ended with Hasselbeck visiting the Oval Office and actually getting to thank President George W. Bush personally and exchange hugs.

Hasselbeck has already received favor from the current administration in the form of an invite to a State Dinner for Queen Elizabeth.

Throughout the past few years, she has butted heads with her co-hosts over politics in general, and Bush in particular.  Despite some pretty rugged battles, she has never wavered in her steadfast loyalty to the party and the sitting president.  She also hit the campaign trail with Sarah Palin during the final weekend before the presidential election.
