Rosie Doesn't Take The Donald's Bait

Rosie O'Donnell shot back at Donald Trump this morning on "The View" -- with nothing more than a piggy-ish face.

Fitting, perhaps, since "pig-faced" was just one of the adjectives Trump used to describe Rosie yesterday after their public slapfight exploded. Against expectations, Rosie chose not to get in the ring with the Infamously-Coifed One, making only passing reference to The Donald.

Pointing out the presence of her partner Kelli in the studio audience, Rosie said, "I was afraid to leave her home in case someone with a combover [ahem] came and stole her from me."

And that was that. Meanwhile, Donald vented on "Good Morning L.A." Is Rosie now taking the high road, or has she been silenced? Her rep says she's has no additional comment.

A rep for "The View" provided this comment from Barbara Walters, who is out of the country, to TMZ: "Donald Trump is a personal friend of mine and has been a good friend to 'The View' for many years. I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of 'The View'. I certainly hope and expect that this tempest will pass quickly."

181. just the fact that you call them "lesbo's" doesnt give you any credibility whatso ever. You're a homphobe and siding with Trump is obviously your only option. He's a moron, and proves it every time he opens his foul mouth.

182. I also would like to add to my last comment that The Donald questionable morality would be more contraversal if again it was not for his money.
I am in the same state of mind that who is he to judge anyone on morality. again go away. by the way I am a straight 56 year old retired military wife and I do not choose to judge people what ever there sexual preference is.
Mr. Trump your Fired!!!!

183. Rosie is a fat, no-talent carpet muncher who has nothing to offer the world except her lame ass opinions on everything. The world has enough of these people. If you're gonna shoot your mouth off about someone, you better be ready to get some back! GO DON!

185. Hey dave-what do you care if Rosie is a "carpet muncher" or not ? That should really not personally concern you.
It does not look like she is the one being damaged or made to look like an idiot. Trump is. Whatever happened to that so called law suit??? Yeah yeah, we know, his lawyers are pushing him to sue her...(another bunch of bull shi*)

186. They both need to knock it off already..........It is common knowledge that BOTH of these people lash out and/or attack others at the drop of a hat.......Rosie in particular has done this on several occassions if memory serves.......
However..her initial comments that started this whole thing were kinda right-on....!

And Barbara......I hope your recent comments are true.......people have come to rely on your integrity over the years.....hopefully something as stupid as this wont prove them to be wrong for that......!.

187. I am with Rosie, I heard comments she made and then I heard Donald Trump. He showed his true colors, I believe he made a big fat mistake.

188. Let's clear the confusion: Rosie initially defended Miss USA by saying that Trump should not be the moral compass of a 20-year-old. Donald is confused in that he said did not want him to give Miss USA a second chance. It is Donald that got confused and blew things out of proportion. Rosie is honest and straight-forward, not to mention how generous she is. I have always had respect for Rosie's honesty and what she believes. What's wrong with being transparent, instead of a politically correct hyprocrite? Donald is a greedy and wants everything for himself, including Miss USA.
