76. So true Lynn. I to loved it when she had her own show too, but it seemed like she just went downhill after the incident with Tom Selleck (he's pro NRA) where she just rudely blindsided him without any provocation at all.
It does just seem like shes now just a bitter person...its no fun to watch her anymore..I just turn the channel.

77. All you haters can EAT ME. Okay.
At least Rosie has opinions and she is
committed to her beliefs.

She's committed to her family, friends and fans as
well as her beliefs.

As far as Joy goes, Rosie has brought out the
best in Joy. I don't think Joy was all that happy
with the show before Rosie.

EAT ME, EAT ME, EAT ME

and Bill O...and Dump Trunk, both of you can go

PISS UP A ROPE.

78. Oh thank you, Lord!! She has used the View as a personal forum for her crazed thinking & vitrolic opinions for too long! I don't watch the View primarily because of her ... that nut case needs either serious meds or some psychiatric care and I'm beginning to feel sorry for the little ones in her household. Poor Babawa - what in the freakin' hell were you thinking parading this out-of-control psycho in front of the American public??!! Wouldn't be surprised if Rosie brings Barbara down again .... hahaha! You're only as good as your last hit!

79. strong words...too bad you don't have the balls to spell it out... who's the lame one? ahhhh, i love freedom of speech. it allows me to say the following:

"HOWARD STERN" (nice name douche bag...very original) why not go receive some higher education (and by this i do not mean a diploma, i am referring to a 4 yr college degree or beyond...get with the times and then we can speak as equals. until then learn to s.p.e.l.l. it out! you can do it, i know you can! )

80. People are getting tired of her "Schtick". She thinks that she is the only person with an opinion. And her obscene remarks in front of those young girls yesterday were disgusting.

Both Bermuda & the Bahamas said that they didn't want her cruise coming to thier island. Even those people know that she is bad news.

I guess they'll just have to circle around New York City for 3 days!! Or better yet, why not cruise to IRAN????

Bravo to the Disney Company for dropping her!!

83. When Rosie started as a stand up comic I thought that she was loud and crude. When she got her own daytime show, her subject matter was interesting and entertaiing enough and it seemed that she showed a more sensitive side to her personallity. Around that time she was in the process of adoping and comprising her family and she showed love in her heart and she won lots of respect for the good that she did for her children. After returning to daytime TV, I found that she become negative and agressive, hurtful and caustic, and just downright dislikeable. What were the network, the sponsors, and mostly Barbara Walters thinking? She instantly detracted from the classy, intelligent, and very interesting personalities of the original discussion panel, hosted by TV's most distinguished and highest acclaimed personality, Barbara Walters.

84. i am going to venture to guess that 'ROSIE'S A MAN IN DRAG' is packing about 1.5 inches of heat...if you know what i mean. poor thing is so depressed about it that he is lashing out at a strong woman! they make pills and cream for it. help is there, you just need to realized you need it!

85. I hope Rosie does leave The View. She uses the show as a personal forum for her views about every subject under the sun. And, it seems that her opinion is all she is interested in. When she says "peace out" at the end of the show, it makes me ill. It's not a dignified sign off, in my opinion. I also get sick of hearing about her politics and lesbianism. Ellen D. is a talk show host and a lesbian, but she doesn't harp on it!! I mean who cares anyway??Rosie hasn't learned to play with others, and I wish she could be pleasant on the show. She is hard to take so early in the day. If she doesn't get fired, I wish she would at least get her own show. Then I could go back to watching the View in peace. And I do miss classy Meredith Viera.

86. If saying the buildings got blown up didn't get her fired ,

SIDING WITH ALEC PROBABLY DID.

Children should not be abused in payment for the mothers bad actions or for any other reasons.

Posted at 12:16AM on Apr 25th 2007 by Rosie your bad move was siding with Alec

87. Good point #71.

Those kids are going to need lots of therapy.

I can just see them on the playground when they don't get their way: "Hey, EAT ME!!!"

90. Right on Candy! (or should I say left) Fox news continues to whittle away at free speech. Then again I listen to that jerk O'Reily and realize that Fox allows him to speak, So I guess they do endorse free speech. I just change the channel.
