Elisabeth Hasselbeck on David Hernandez Elimination: An American Idol Conspiracy

But the conservative blonde is singing a conspiratorial tuner over David Hernandez being voted off American Idol last night.

“My mind went, ‘You know what? This is a conspiracy,” said Hasselbeck during this morning’s show. “American Idol maybe didn’t want to deal with the fact that he had this shady– so-called - past and they blocked all of his phone calls of people voting for him.’”

Whoopi Goldberg was taken aback at this accusation, reiterating Hasselbeck’s stance in amazement: “They blocked his phone calls?!?”

Sounds like a controversial, attention-getting viewpoint to me, Elisabeth basically responded. We wonder if she also thinks Eliot Spitzer got a raw deal.

“I’m making up my own conspiracy theory. This is my paranoia,” she said. “Because he’s good - he is good - despite his… whatever he was doing on the side. But I think he actually deserved the spot to be there and I feel like maybe they were just trying to get him off the show.”

What do you think? Did American Idol conspire to give David Hernandez the boot?
