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."

77. Rosie!! Who in the world do you think you are? Everyone know 's you're a BIG MOUTH!!!!! and that's all you are. Get off the show. You're the reason I don't watch the view anymore. The show was fantastic before you sat your BIG FAT ASS in on it. You're nothing but a BIG FAT ZERO!!!! Take a hike! I would love to hear the new's when Donald Trump say's YOU'RE FIRED!!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! I think you should seek some HELP you really need it. Where did you get your brains (if you have any at all) in a cracker-jacks box. If you only had a brain you'd be dangerous!

78. I thought was Rosie did by doing the hairflip was actually funny. She gave her opinion about the 2nd chance but she shouldnt have gone into Trumps personal affairs about marriage and bankruptcy.

Trump keeps firing back calling her all sorts of names like pig, slob, ugly, HE IS THE ONE now that is acting immature. This shows us the real Mr. Trump. Insult him and he goes ballistic. His show is the one thats going to go down the tubes. People will remember his name calling.
Trump just shut up!!

79. I can't believe anyone thinks Rosie is funny! If you idiots laugh at Rosie you have simply no sense of humor. Donald is an idiot but who cares about that fat bitch dyke pig slut whore? Go suck on a f***ing shotgun you pig f***!

80. I think this whole fued is just for publicity for both of them. Trump's stupid apprentice show's ratings slipped last year and he will do anything to keep his ugly face and hair comb-over in the press.

81. I mean, yeah, she might've slipped and mocked The Donald, but com'on, admit it! She is better than Star Jones 'n even before that Donald case or Kelli Ripa, she had the viewers and the audiences up 'n howling! The Donald's a billionaire or a multi-millionaire...'n i don't know why Donald is so upset. I do respect a lot of the work he has put into his company, and his daughter Ivanka is a very intellectual and presentable woman eeeeh not like Paris Hilton. But yeah, he can't even hold his own son's diaper. I'm sure Rosie can handle a diaper. Rosie would even go 'round a typical mall and make people smile. You know, The Donald's too busy with his real estate and property ventures in LA, Las Vegas, & NY. Rosie just says what she wants and if i was her publicist-well she knows she needs to tone it down a bit, but hey she can never be Rosie without being Rosie. During a Fox phone call interview today, he even mentioned how he's in the Forbes 400....he wants us to give him a price of what he is actually worth....
Anyways, Do you all remember Kanye insulting Pres. Bush?- I don't think Pres. Bush sued him for that!

So, that's my take! Hopefully, they resolve their situation, but there are far more important things like getting your shopping done for your loved ones and visiting your family and friends for the holidays!

Cheers and Be Merry!

2. Bolemics do not need any excuses to throw up
3. Remember young children may be watching !
4. If I wanted to see how my dump looks in the morning I'd stare into the toilet
5. May drive borderline Gay men all the way over
6. Please do not give horror movie makers new ideas for monsters
7. Mother of Mercy ...is this the end of Ricco ?!?
8. Closest thing to a living anthill I've ever seen
9. butt Ugly does not do well in the HD format
10. IT JUST AINT' RIGHT !!!

83. SNORTING HER "BUGGERS" ON THE FLOOR THE OTHER DAY (ON CAMERA) WAS "UNMANLY" AND DISGUSTING...I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW - I CAN'T WATCH THE "VIEW" ANYMORE. DORA

84. Can I just say one thing? I hope that the way Donald Trump portrayed Barbara's conversation with him after Rosie's comments on the show about him are clearly straightened out by her on the show the next time she's there. He has intimated that she was unhappy and felt unacceptable of Rosies comments. This is what I say and she might make this known so her other viewers will confirm that what Rosie said happens to be what we have been saying and feeling all along about Donald Trump we just don't have a national platform to express it. He is a not a respectable business man when he needs to act so childish on television and rebutt his dislike for Rosie with FAT comments. I cannot believe that he of all people would even comment on how unattractive Rosie is when the world has been waiting for years for him to cut that ridiculous mop of a hair-piece he wears. PLEASE he leads an absolutely immoral life with his current and past relationships and to be so proud of it because he has BILLIONS shows his lack of IQ. I seriously have been troubled by her side taking in the past with Stars situation and I would hope that that backlash would have educated her from taking a stance against Rosie because it would purely seem to the average viewer that Donalds bucks rate high on her list if she do. He is nothing but a jerk and he needed to be set in his place and Rosie in my opinion did just that. After all why would he get so upset if what she said didn't touch a nerve of truth. I say GROW UP Donald not all of society thinks you are as great as you do.

85. I got 3 words for Rosie....Exit to Eden. Remember that turd of a movie. *barf*

86. I had more respect for Rosie when she was nice. I was never a fan of the view, but it seems to me that the show was meant to be a platform for differing viewpoints, not for the type of controversy that it has become. As for Donald, I have never had any respect for him. He cares only about himself. His comments were totally uncalled for. His insults were a put down to innocent people everywhere. He had no right to insult overweight people, nor homosexuals. They have nothing to do with his being upset with Rosie's opinionated and judgmental words.

87. Rosie is a loud mouth that thinks can't be shut-up. It's ashame because she "could" be a good person....... Barbara hired her to get 1 maybe 1 1/2 more years out of "The View". I personally stopped watching the day Rosie can to the show. Maybe Rosie needs a man to help her with her manners.....oh, that's right.... she had to go lesbo because she couldn't get a man!

88. They should both shut the ***##@@!!! up. Its Christmas, the time of good will towards men (and woman). Get a real problem. If only they would use there mouths for good insted of this caddy crap, they might be worthy of my time.
Rosie no one asked for your opinion and Donald take off the dress Mr. Hypersensitive.

89. ...why is RO's sexual orientation an issue at all when discussing DT's decision? He's crass and uneducated in anything but his own opinion, and anyone following suit is "outting" themselves as petty, cruel and homophobic. keep it up, I'd rather have you out in the open with your hatred than hiding in the shadows waiting to pounce...

90. I am totally shocked at the filthy language that is allowed to be used on this site. It is definately much worse than the comments Donald Trump and Rosie threw back and forth. CLEAN IT UP
