91. Could this really be true? I for one would be thrilled ,she is disgusting and given the the show a bad name. It was more like rosies view. Comedy is one thing,but she is out of control,she has insulted our troops and our country. Rosie dont let the door hit your ass on the way out or should it?

92. I hope she leaves and fast..... she is a bitter fat , woman who could do something about her weight if she really wanted to .... I DID !!!!! Her opions and rants have made me not tune in the View anymore, it had turned so much into just HER show, geez, she needs to changes therapists, it seems like the one she has now is not doing her justice !

95. Joy has always been funny, but I do think that she seems much happier now!!! I hope Rosie doesn't leave the show! She has taking a lot of crap from the Donald, BO and others!! I hope she tells them all off if she goes!!! I think she already started! Elizabeth is the one that should go to Fox! That where she belongs!!!!

97. 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!

99. actually, i am straight as can be. married with 2 small children. i just don't like when men tear a strong women apart re: physical appearance. i just was slapping it back! i hope it felt good!

i also don't appreciate the fact that an individual standing up for the rights of the gay community is immediately considered gay. get with it people.

100. I don't care if she stays or goes. But she does seem to be a very angry person. The world is a screwed up sad place but you can't single handedly change it. She seems increasingly sad/moody as she is coming to this realization.

101. Remember the show is called the VIEW. Elizabeth surely presents her view and Joy provides comic relief. Fox should be ecsatic... fair and balanced!!

102. #75 Andrea.. If allyou say is true ,why are the ratingsUp? If this is true ,she will be missed by many!!! That is how the ratings go up,people watch the show!!!!!

103. THANK THE LORD IN HEAVEN! SHE IS DISGUSTING, AND I THINK THAT "WOMAN" NEEDS TO LEARN MANNERS. HER MOUTH IS JUST SO VILE!

104. Who get's to keep the swing? or will other view members invert on it to DE-STRESS?

Posted at 12:34AM on Apr 25th 2007 by Who gets to keep Rosie's swing

105. MIA....... nicely said.

much appreciated. wish others could be so bold and honest

seriously....seeing these comments focusing on the weight, the mouth, etc.

such small-minded-ness.

very worrysome for all of us.

can only hope that some of the hatred can turn into activism and/or change.

can only hope.
