Celebrity Feuds
Rosie: No More Rasslin' with Preggy Elisabeth

There'll be no more bullying Elisabeth Hasselbeck by Rosie O'Donnell -- and the cease-fire is all for the benefit of the Hasselbaby.

So proclaimed Rosie herself in her blog late last night. After yesterday's show, in which she and Hasselbeck traded heated words on their favorite verbal battleground -- the war in Iraq -- Rosie decided to back down, especially with Elisabeth three months pregnant. Or, as she put it, in her free-verse style:

on the view
u have seen my last hasselbeck spat
2 day was it
no more - its done

there is a new life
there - inside
and in the end -
what else matters


Today, unavoidably, the discussion turned to President Bush and Iraq, and Rosie's restraint was evident -- she just changed the topic. We'll see how long the pseudo-haiku-inspiring truce holds.

32. Rosie is articulate, her opinions are backed up by facts. Edumabeth serves as a FOX mouthpiece. Rosie and Joy and Barbara are women of accomplishment. Edumabeth stood on a box in a bikini, and was a loser on a reality show. How did she get this gig? Lisa Ling was a woman of accomplishment, as was Star and Meredith, and even Debbie M. had done something. And I find it more than a bit disturbing and perplexing as to why ABC lets FOX have a mouthpiece on their network. I sincerely doubt that Edumabeth even believes what she is spouting off about, but she is an opportunist of the worse kind. It is disgusting to hear Bill O'Reilly and Shaun Hannity coming out of her mouth. And ABC goes along with that? You go Rupert, you have found a pretty good way to get your view passed around...do you give EH fashion tips to wear disgustingly low cut tops of morning tv ,too? We know Babwa has expressed her love for you too. Very interesting.

But it's her job to speak, to voice her opinions, like so many Good Ole boys do on cable news shows. SHould she have to preface EVERY statement with "IMHO...."?? It would occupy too much air time! lol Then the other three would have to say the same. Yes, she "sounds" like a know-it-all", but I do believe that it's because many of us may not agree with her, and those that don't, resnt her being so out-spoken. But, IT'S HER JOB!!!

Think back when Debbie Matanopoulos did the show, years ago. Now SHE was an idiot! Elisabeth is well-read, fairly well-spoken, however Republican/Naive she may be. (I'm an independent, by the way, so it isn't about a political party for me, it's about ech issue, individually). The fact that they are all bantering is because they are each voicing their personal opinions, albeit loudly!

Rosie's style has and always will be over-the-top, and she will rise somewhere else, I have no doubts! I really do love her for her passion, convictions and humor, even if I don't agree with everything she says and does. She has the right to say it, was hired and payed to say it the way she does because she always has, and will continue. I think Trump will be off the air long before Rosie will.

These are passionate times which illicit passionate debates. Can't get around it.

34. Have you noticed that liberals can't spell? Leave Elizabeth alone. All of you are just jealous. I wouldn't be surprised if Rosie is posting all of these negatives about Elizabeth.

35. ELIZABETH HAS HER RIGHT ALSO TO STATE HOW SHE FEELS, AND SHE IS RIGHT!PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT IT FROM ONE SIDE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE HATE FOR THE WAR, BUT DOWN THE LINE AFTER IT IS ALL OVER, CONSEQUENCES WILL HAPPEN, FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS A REACTION, THAT IS ELIZABETHS POINT, BUT PEOPLE DO NOT SEE THAT NOW, BUT TIME WILL TELL THE WHOLE STORY, NOT JUST ONE SIDE. I SHOULD KNOW, WAS A DEMOCRAT, NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW THERE IS A REAL SMART COMMENT, NOT.....................ELIZABETH HAS JUST AS MUCH RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AS ROSIE, YOU MORON.

38. Rosie is okay with partial-birth abortion laws and yet she won't spat over politics with Elisabeth because she's expecting? What's more upsetting to aun unborn baby: the mother partaking in a possibly heated debate, or being dismembered because a woman has a right to choose? Answer that one, Rosie...

41. Funny how Rosie is entitled to her opinion, but ya think Liz is brain washed. Libs kill me...you can voice your opinion as long as it is the same as mine. Sounds like a real forward thinker to me.

42. TO: "NO LONGER A FAN" -

Have you read any of the postings on the Smith/Stern/Birkhead blogs??? Talk about hatred! There is always hatred spewing from these folks on here, cursing out and attacking based on body size or nose size or boob size or religion or race, or even opinions! It's the nature of people on these blogs because they can hide behind their computer screens. Don't blame the people on the show for the hatred-filled rants of the the posters aon TMZ.

As for poster KELLIE -

Huh??? Did you actually read what you wrote??? holy cow.....

Umm there is facts that Bush is the one that crashed those planes the movie is called Lose Change look it up people this is something you have to see min by min play of the event take a look and see what she is talking about. Dont be so naive the government has reasons for doing what they did and its called oil people you num nuts think the govenment his here to protect us no its not about us.

45. No,. 40 where did you get your facts? You impress me as a headline reader. Yes, Liz had a job on E! or the fashion channel or something....either way the girl was working. If you don't like her politics that's cool but spitting out opinion as if it's facts (I guess you do watch plenty of Rosie) is unfair to this hard working American trying to make her way.
