Barbara Retracts; Sides With Rosie Over Trump

91. John you should really do your research. The Miss Universe Pageant co-owned by NBC and Trump is second only to the World Cup in viewership. It attracts over 500 million viewers worldwide. Beauty pageants are big business, and Miss Universe is the biggest one of them all. As you know Miss USA competes at Miss Universe.

92. doesnt anyone realize that it is the Rosie O Donnell show? I love broadway but these are her interests. Everytime she does something she videotapes it and it is shown on the view. Agreat deal of her conversation is about her adopted children .People used to remark about Cathy LEE and her remarks about her brew but Rosie has her beat. Rosie started this fued . Donald could have reacted differently. If you notice the guest hosts have been mostly comedians. Do you need 3 out of 4 to be comedians. Poor refined,classic Elizabeth.

93. I think Barbara was put on the spot and for the sake of THE VIEW had to say what she did - Her private thoughts may be another matter. The View has gone downhill for some time - first with Star Jones and now with Rosie - let's hope 2007 will bring a better VIEW without Rosie - what show needs this loudmouth? No class at all.

94. Rosie should have been the one making the retraction about Donald Trump not Barbara.

Rosie is getting really tiresome with her rants about people being homophobic or being gay.

She should stick to the current event topics and quit trying to make her view the only view people should listen to.

She said who is Trump to think he should judge what 20 years old do.

Well who is Rosie to judge others about how they feel about gays and lesbians. She voices her hates and dislikes.

Rosie should have read that retraction not Barbara . Rosie will never learn if she is not made to clean up her mistakes about her comments.

96. Donald is right. And who in God's world would take their precious time out of each day to watch that trash anyway.

97. Ugh! I wish everyone would back off Rosie; she is who she is, and won't change just to fit in. Barbara is a class act, and does an incredible job at putting an end to tabloid speculation, and I had hoped shutting comb over up, but apparently he is still jabbering his jaws.

98. I don't watch The View or The Apprentice and don't really care about Rosie or Trump... But Rosie was the one to draw first blood and Trump has every right to fight back. Now, that being said... I think ALL of them are keeping this going for ratings!

99. I cannot believe that Barbara is publicly dissing her suppossedly long time friend, Donald Trump, over somebody like Rosie O'Donnell. I guess Barbara would kick her child to the curb for Rosie and the ratings.

But when all of the hoopla about Rosie gets old and people start getting tired of her running her big mouth all the times, and then the ratings start falling, (because it's just a matter of time before that happens), then what is Barbara going to do. I guess it will be Donald Trump's turn to diss Barbara and kick her to the curb and tell her, "goodie, I told you so".

100. Donald is wrong for letting her stay. If she has been doing drugs get rid of her. Like they did Vanesa Willams for doing x-rated pictures. But I see she is a good role model for the youth. I did drugs until the pagent busted me so I will be getting help a little late I say.

101. Fair is fair Donald shopuld fire her she is not a good role model. I guess she can say I used to do drugs until i got busted by the pagent. So now I'm going to drug rehab. Vanessa didn't get a chance to go prono rehab anyone see bad standards foir our young girls & boiys to look up to.

102. First, I think "The Donald" should have shown some class and kept his mouth shut! However, Rosie is just what he said about her. Rosie has taken over a show that once had dignity, but no longer. She is a big mouth know-it-all and always interrupts the other ladies. A lady, she is not! I am not happy with Barbara Walters anymore either, she needs to stick to her interviews on night time TV.

103. Barbara needs a new hair do sooo bad!

104. The first time I saw Rosie O'Donnell on the "The View" her remarks made me ill. The View lost me as a viewer. I no longer admire Barbara Walters, she went way down in my book. My daughter who is a real liberal did not like the comments Rosie has said also. I really don't think Rosie has brought the ratings up on this show. Eventually it will come out that she is hurting this show.
