Rosie’s gone from The View

The View

Rosie O’Donnell is off The View. With her contract up in June, Rosie had hinted that she felt like a high school senior and wanted an early out, but she sealed the deal Wednesday with a particularly nasty argument with her little emptyhead buddy Elisabeth Hasselbeck (Gilligan to Rosie’s Skipper) over the Iraq war (Rosie accused Lizzy of not defending her against charges she’d called U.S. troops “terrorists.” Then Lizzy brought Donald Trump into the argument).

Rosie boosted ratings with her loudmouth bullying and ravings, but shortly after she began spouting 9/11 conspiracy theories, she and ABC announced she wasn’t coming back for a second season.

ABC issued the kissoff statement a little while ago:“”We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to ‘The View’ and wish her well.”

“And,” they would have added, “good riddance!” Look for Rosie to return, possibly in late night.

    say what you want about Rosie, but the woman knows what she’s talking about. She is politically aware, unlike Elisabeth, who blindly agrees with anything having to do with Bush and his administration. If you want to support Bush, fine, but you need to be able to put up a coherent argument. I saw the fight the other day — Elisabeth still thinks Iraq was responsible for 9/11…

    At least Rosie made the show interesting. Elisabitch should be fired. She is idiotic and should go back to reality TV.

    I can’t believe that a Survivor loser could parlay that into a gig on The View. Amazing.

    You suck Elisabitch

    Just thought I’d quote poster #1 to make the point that Just cuz you agree with someone doesnt mean they are smarter. They both have opineions and each side can say that the other is stupid and it doesnt make it so. Rosie should not expect Elisabeth or anyone to have to defend comments SHE made. If she’s man enough to say them, then she should be man enough to stick by them and not have anyone apoligize for her. Rosie words thing in a way where she can later say “Oh, but I didnt mean THAT!”. Cmon – saying “Who’s the terrosists now????” Thats just as smart as saying “Terrorists are mothers and fathers, too, people!” – yeah, rosie – drum up some sympathy for terrorists.

    LC (#3), I strongly dislike both women involved, but even I can admit that Hasselbeck is outmatched in a political argument with the likes of O’Donnell.

    As for your points about her comments, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you didn’t quite understand them or have heard them second-hand, and leave it at that.

    to jackbauer….

    what’s not to understand about what rosie said? Elisabeth asked Rosie if she thought the 9/11 hijackers were terrorists and instead of answering rosie says “650,000 iraqis are dead. Who’s the real terrorist?” Any 2nd grader can connect the dots and gather that she called the troops terrorists. As to the fight that ended it all, she got mad at elisabeth because elisabeth wouldn’t say that she didnt believe rosie meant that. The fight was not over the politics as all the above commentors keep making comments about (the political prowess of rosie vs. elisabeth). The fight was over the fact that rosie felt like elisabeth was supposed to be her friend and elisabeth let her hang out to dry. That’s why it got so personal and nasty, because it was a friend to friend fight.

    So Rosie “knows what she’s talking about”? This is someone who says that 9/11 was the first time in history where fire melted steel. Which would be news to all the blacksmiths, steelworkers, architects and construction workers throughout history. She’s a hateful, ignorant bitch, and good fucking riddance.

    I agree that it was a friend fight and not a political one. The main point of the argument was that Elizabeth would not say whether she thought Rosie believed our troops were terrorists.

    I have to side with Elizabeth on this one because it is completely unfair of Rosie to have Elizabeth answer a question that she herself won’t answer. It’s not Elizabeth’s job to defend Rosie’s thoughts. Rosie needs to defend them herself.

    As for Rosie and Elizabeth’s political views. I can side with neither because they are both too radical in their views.

    I interpret the comment to mean that the U.S. Government are the terrorists, not the ground troops themselves.

    It’s the logical conclusion when you remove emotion and personal bias from the analysis.

    But as I said – I couldn’t really give a rat’s ass about either broad.

    Rosie is a cunt who believes that 9/11 was an inside job

    “Jack Bauer Shaving Interlude” — your handle made me laugh out loud (and I don’t even watch the show).

    thanx, khv, for the facts (conspicuously absent from this crappy ‘news’ report…)

    Rosie was talking about the Bush administration for attacking Iraq when we had no business attacking Iraq. I wish she (Rosie) would have said that so people could not twist her words. But I guess people would do that anyway. I “get” Rosie and I admire her for not being “afraid” to talk. I am a fan for life because she is a real person who happens to be a star!
