Barry Manilow takes a stand

Apparently Barry Manilow decided to take a stand.  He will NOT perform on the same stage as Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  Apparently he’s afraid he will suffer the same fate as Rosie.  I find this tactic kind of strange considering he performed before Hasselbeck twice last year.  He apparently stated something to the effect he felt Hasselbeck was dangerous.  Now, he didn’t elaborate what was so dangerous about her.  I’d like to know.  Maybe the way she slew Rosie and tossed her off the show?  Dunno.  However, I’ve never been too terribly convinced Manilow was ever up for a good fight.  So, hearing he’d rather run than face Elisabeth Hasselbeck face-to-face, mano-et-womano, doesn’t surprise me.  And, is probably a smart move on his part.  However, if I had wimped out like that, I think I would have kept it very quiet else people like me would be speculating about semblence of manhood Barry might have had.
