Rosie and Babwa Sweep Imus Under Rug

Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters did a little spring cleaning on "The View," awkwardly wiping clean their interview with Don Imus' wife Deirdre, removing any stain of the "nappy-headed hos" controversy and Don's subsequent firing by MSNBC and CBS Radio. Nifty!

Pretty-headed HOmemaker Deirdre had been scheduled for "The View" this past Monday, but in the wake of her husband's I-mess, as TMZ reported last week, she canceled all appearances related to her book, "Greening Your Cleaning." But there she was on today's show hawking the tidy tome.

Despite the fact that they talked about Imus-gate during the "Hot Topics" segment of the show, Rosie and Babwa didn't go there -- or anywhere near there with Deirdre herself -- except to mention that she'd been booked before her husband's troubles exploded. They just let Mrs. Imess do her cleaning ... and Rosie and Babs her bidding. Sparklingly clean!

4. I hope that book she is premoting does real well cause all that money it brings is going to a good cause. No one should hold what her husband said against her. Every news outlet made such a big deal about what Imus said does anyone think it would have made such a big deal about the comments if he had said them is week. The news outlets had a "slow news week" in other words nothing else to talk about so Don Imus comments blew up TV screens. Everyone thinks stupid dumb comments he said was such big news. Look at this weeks news headlines. For all the people hurt or affected by the VT shooting you are in my thoughts and prayers. And for the family of Cho I am also praying for you in this hard time.

GO HOKIES!!!

6. They want free speech to hate on.. make fun of people, and rant against race, religion and make their antisocial behavior views properly acceptable too. It's what their show is all about.

7. I am glad Deirdre was able to promote her book. Anything we can do to help the environment is great. I hope we get a democrat in office next time, so we can put back all the environmental laws that the Bush Administration removed. And TMZ, could you post most of the presidential candidates? Believe or not but a lot of us TMZ regulars like to read important news too.

10. Along with cleaning out Don Imus's mouth, Dierde could also use some cleaner on Rosie O. I think Rosie has finally been told to watch her mouth by Baba. Just a hunch.

IS THIS REALLY HOW YOU GET YOUR JOLLIES??? YOU DON'T THINK YOU INSITE PEOPLE?? YOU NEED TO TAKE RESPONSBILITY OF SOME OF THE JUNK YOU SAY AND POST. OKAY, ALL YOU GOOBERS, START CALLING ME NAMES, IT HELPS YOU MENTALLY TO TAKE YOUR ANGER OUT ON SOMEONE, BETTER ME, THAN HELPLESS STUDENTS.

15. I haven't read Ms. Imus' book nor do I ever intend to. But, just out of curiosity, does this wonderful tome teach us how to clean house in a tight little black dreas with our hair perfectly coifed while wearing our pearl necklace. Give me a break. Only someone who already has a perfectly clean house has time to write a book about how to clean a house.
