You can apologize in a couple of minutes, we'll get there, Elisabeth Hasselbeck snipped, predicting the argument to come.Oh, boy. Months after Bill Maher made a remark about exchanging her for Lara Logan, Elisabeth Hasselbeck got the chance to confront him face to face.When Hasselbeck re-read the joke, the audience tittered with laughter, which got her blood racing even more. "That's fine if you want to laugh," she said, "but I ... sit with the best comedians... you can't tell me I'm wrong when I say that wasn't that funny."Maher calmly noted that she's a public figure and the comment wasn't aimed at her personally.

"You can't tell me that's funny.
My feelings weren't hurt," Hasselbeck clarified. "I'm speaking on behalf of women. We don't trade women in this country.
Although Maher apologized if he offended Hasselbeck, 34, he didn't really seem to regret his choice of words. When asked if he'd go back in time and make the same joke again, he said: "If I had a crystal ball and knew I was coming here and had to spend my whole segment talking about it, no I would not. But worse things have happened.
