Rosie: Bring Star Back ... Puhleeze!

See what happens on "The View" when Barbara goes away for a few days? As the women of morning television reminisced over schoolyard memories, it was brought to the audience's attention that Rosie O'Donnell herself was a high school homecoming queen. Joy, ever ready with a spicy quip, remarked, "Was it based on being pretty ... errr ... I thought homecoming queens were more like Jessica Simpson." Oh, snap, girl.

Rosie clearly didn't take too kindly to this: She said that she missed Star Jones -- "I'm feeling the love" -- and then did some temporary housecleaning of her own, announcing, "After the break, we're going to come back without Joy Behar." To "The View," we say thank you for consistently delivering us a hot dish of morning bitchiness; no word yet on whether Star will take Rosie up on her offer.

361. I could not stand Star and stopped watching the show years ago because of her. When I heard Rosie would be on the show I couldn't wait to watch again. Rosie you make me laugh, you go girl.

363. The show has never been the same without Merideth and Starr.
Elisabeth is my favorite, cannot stand Joy and Rosie is absolutely not worth watching. She talks so much, no one else
can get a word in. She tries to shove her opinion down all of
our throats. I simply cannot stand to watch it any longer.
II did give her a chance though, kept thinking it would improve,
but that hasn't happened. Will be definitely watching something
else in that time slot.

364. Barbara Walters has provided a platform for Rosie's personal issues and political agenda to be aired and ventilated, no matter who it hurts or how venemous her accusations are, through The View television show. I have been home due to a temporary injury and have tuned in to the View. I loved today's co-host, Sherrie. She is a riot!

However, when Rosie accused Kelly Ripa of homophobia because of her statement to Clay Aiken last week when he rudely placed his hand over her mouth, and she commented, "I don't know where your hands have been," Rosie's accusation during the show, which she consistently uses for her gain and personal causes, was uncalled for and egregious. I make the same comment to my two sons all the time when they touch things in the kitchen and haven't washed their hands. Then, Kelly called telling Rosie the thought did not cross her mind (about Clay's sexuality) but rather was concerned about germs due to cold and flu season and that he had shaken the audiences hands (he's lucky it wasn't me he did that to because I would have knocked him off of his guest host stool (well, in my mind). Kelly made a good point to Rosie that she has a tendency to assume people are homophobic if they comment on something or in a way Rosie doesn't agree with. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT ROSIE'S SEXUAL PREFERENCES. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. I WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED.

Rosie took advantage again of this platform Barbara has provided her and commented after Kelly hung up because Rosie was chastised for her most serious accusation against Kelly, and could not handle it. Her comment meant that Kelly basically made a big deal out of nothing over the phone by going off on a tangent, knowing Kelly could not reply to more of Rosie's comments, and Rosie, forceful, loud, me and me only, Rosie, making sure she gets the last word in and that everyone understands she was right that Kelly is a homophobe. It disgusts me. She is a self absorbed trouble maker. Barbara, why are you allowing this?

Barbara, what is wrong with you? We need laughter from people like Sherrie and Joy and different points of view allowed to be expressed by all of them, including Elizabeth, who is calming. I love the three of them together and pray you will keep them and replace Rosie.

365. Rosie thinks nothing of offending everyone; she's loud, obnoxious and extremely crass. She's so dumb she doesn't realize that a good majority of people DO NOT, repeat DO NOT share her views when it comes to homosexuality! She's never apologized for any of her dumb public statements and constantly operates with her foot in her mouth. At least Star Jones wasn't this brassy and bossy even in her strongest opinions.

Miss Walters made a huge mistake by choosing this broad for anything, especially morning television. I do not watch the show; I have seen it a few times and enjoyed Joy, Elizabeth and Meredith, but when it comes to the loud, foul mouth Rosie, I draw the line and change the channel. People are looking for wholesome entertainment, especially on a morning show when having coffee. I don't subscribe to Rosie O'Donnell's brand of humor when it comes to making me laugh or feel good. I forsee doom for this show and wonder how it's even lasted this long.

366. I don't watch regular TV, but I do keep myself fairly informed. From a series of audio excerpts I've had the privilege of listening to I've concluded that most of the ladies on this show are clearly and unfortunate ignorant of the details of many of the political topics they discuss. While they do all passionately express their respective opinions, many of them--Ms. O'Donnell particular--remain void of any substantive facts that support them as sound and rational. Ol' Sam Clemmens
is quoted saying is better to be silent and be regarded a fool rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

367. PLEASE get rid of Rosie. She is doing more harm than good. Remember her comments about Kelly Ripa?

She needs to take a long look in the mirror at herself and see what she has become. I refuse to watch the view.

Her mouth is ugly and she goes beyond rude.
