Rosie O'Donnell: Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sarah Palin "Identical Cousins, Women Who Hunt In High Heels"

Rosie O'Donnell called her former co-host and nemesis Elisabeth Hasselbeck an "identical cousin" of Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin on her blog over the weekend.

Rosie would often spar with her conservative co-host (who recently disparaged Michelle Obama during an event at the Republican National Convention) while on "The View." Since leaving, the two have reportedly made up, with Rosie sending Elisabeth a gift upon the birth of her son Taylor in January and explaining away their differences as a function of their generational gap .
