Celebrity Feuds
Rosie: Get Me Outta Here, Stat!

Rosie O'Donnell sure is itching to be done with "The View," and she's definitely not hiding her displeasure with her co-hosts after what she called an "explosive" day yesterday on the air.

Likening herself on her blog at rosie.com to a "senior in highschool [sic],", the talk queen made it clear that the end of June -- and her tenure on the show -- can't come fast enough. "It's sunny and i wanna stay home/be done/move on," she writes. "The end is always rocky/one must focus."

Ro also addressed yesterday's show, in which she came under fire for supposedly equating American soldiers with terrorists on a previous show (which she explained was a misinterpretation of her words). Several fans wrote in to point out that her co-hosts Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, and Barbara Walters seemed to "gang up" on her, with Babwa giving an especially pointed lesson in the definitions of "terrorist" and "jihadist."

Rosie's response? "It upsets me/frankly/but what can u do ... today was weird." Buckle up, "View" fans. Should be an interesting few weeks.

331. I feel so badly for Rosie............................She is SICK. She is depressed and needs help.
And what's up with that Alicia Silverstone not greeting Elizabeth this morning. She just went right by her.

332. Joy is an instigator...big time! Also...she says far worse things about the President, Vice President than even Rosie does.

I was surprised ...yet pleased to see that Elizabeth did not let Rosie run over her this morning...FINALLY!

Alicia Silverstones brushoff of Elizabeth was so rude and uncalled for.

All Rosie wanted this morning was to hear Elizabeth tell her that she did not believe that Rosie thought the troops were terrorists...she wouldn't address the fact that her blanket statement left no doubt that ...that was what she most assuredly implied. She has to be right no matter what.
I think it's time for her to go...just leave...don't put any of us through anymore of this crap... and take Joy with you!

333. She said what she said, and was called on it. You know if she lived in a country that would not let her say this, may be she would think different. But to call our American soldiers the people that are protecting her terrorist? That is not right, especially during a time of war. Then to go on the attack to Elizabeth who is defending the troops is not really entertainment, just very anti patriotic propaganda. May be Rosie should ask her self why say negative things about troops at all in a time like this one?

Also to call, insult and use words like she did to Elizabeth is not right. Since Rosie took the seat of the show, nothing but conflict and negativity has happened among the group, and to use words towards Elizabeth like “Double Speaking”, “Poor little Elizabeth” and “Republican Crap ?” Shows now how much of a double speaking hypocrite Rosie is. She says she promotes peace yet says things like that? Why? Those are not words of peace, those are words to rattle cages and start arguments.

I mean is this what you want to watch and drink your coffee too? Rosie throwing insults out about America and her troops?

334. Some of you say Rosie loves and supports the troops. Here's something to think about and I mean THINK. When the Vietnam was was going on Jane Fonda was against the war and she took a lot of grief for going against the war, which lasted for many, many years. The Vietnam war, by the way, was fought with young men who were DRAFTED into the war.

Now we have a war in Iraq that has been goin on for years. This war is being fought by men and women who have volunteered to go over there and fight. Not all the military people are young boys. Many of these people are men in their 40s who believe that what they are doing is the right thing. They have been around the block and know in their hearts of hearts that what they are doing is the right thing.

Now, how can someone claim to support the troops when that person mouths off about how one big mouth believes they should not be there in the first place and should come home.

Freedom is not free!! My father was a marine for 13 years and fought in both WW II and the Korean War. He believed in what he was doing as do our military men and women of today. Would Rosie rather we fight this war in the United States? It was going to be fought and better there than here.

Let's try being Americans and back our President. The world is watching all of us and people like Rosie are an embarassment to the whole country. She is anti-American!

335. Ro rocks and elisabitch sucks....got it? As a regular viewer of The View, I know what Rosie said and what her point was. elisabitch and the rest of you rightwing sickos who watch nothing but trash talk fox news are obviously too ignorant to know the meaning of metaphor.
And btw, where's the pole for elisabitch? For someone who says(?) she's dedicated to family values, she's certainly anxious to expose her boobs on daytime tv. Funny stuff. Love Rosie and hate elisabitch. Also hate this idiot war. Toodles...

336. It seems that Elizabeth was almost foaming at the mouth in her frenzy to get out all of her "talking points". But it is refreshing to see actual important views and opinions stated by women on national daytime tv. Rosie has an extreme view, but neverthe less an opinion which needed to be stated but was supressed in the last four years.

337. Well said Paricia, everyone needs to think about this, IF George W.Bush was a Dem.....this war would be the best thing since Apple pie..when Clinton dropped bombs, I didn't hear anything wrong about it.....They are not in office and now nothing is going the direction they want. When they get in , if they get in, the REP, may steal another election, one never knows. Rosie is just another mouth piece, she can't help herself, she has to be in control of everything she deals with. Yes she is a good person at heart, but just can't make a decision on her own. Control is what it's all about, when not in control, they get loud....She is done and if she wasn't fired, I'll have to rethink this, but she was given the same deal as Star, leave on your own terms. Come up with a lie as they say and put it out to the public and tell us what you want us to hear...I feel that is what Rosie did too
She had to be fired, no choice matter, she was insulting too many people.

338. Bravo to Elizabeth Hasselbeck for standing up to Rosie O...she is constantly shut down, talked over, etc. and never allowed to finish her thought..
She is proving to be the braver of the two, and I for one will be so pleased when Rosie is gone again...she is an obnoxious, overbearing, loud mouth, and should be punished for her crazy liberal rhetoric!! Why is she the only one allowed to have an opinion?
And to Alicia Silverstone...your behavior toward Elizabeth was rude, and uncalled for...she's one of the hosts, and who do you think you are now-a-days, but a has-been!! You should be ashamed for your bad manners!!

339. Our troops are mainly, not all, but mainly young men and women who joined the service because they saw no other option for themselves. So we put them in harms way to occupy a country under the misconception that they had WMD's and because we needed them to fight terrorism in order to protect us from more attacks. Our occupation opened up the country for Al Qaeda where Sadam had kept them out. Between our troops (under the command of Bush) and Al Qaeda the innocent Iraqi's are being killed and displaced. So when Rosie said we were terrorists she was right, it is not our troops who are the terrorists but our leaders who sent them in. We should have had all of our troops looking for Bin Laden.

I am certain I will be labeled as Un-American for writing this… however, I am speaking my mind and being able to do so makes me an American. Moreover, I would be able to speak my mind if Bush were president or not. I declare Shenanigans and I vote for a regime change.

340. Rosie is the best thing that happned to the View, She is a lesbian which is fine, the radicals of america are again in action, this is the 2000 bush gore repeat and hope it doesnt reach the supreme court! I suggest all republicans go to Europe and have a taste of real democracy, can you believe that 1/8 of americans never even left the state they were born in and think that that's the world, america is the best there is but we are digging our own grave.

341. LOOK, HARVEY CAN SPIN IT ANY WAY HE WANTS TO, BUT THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.

SHE DID CALL THE SOLDIERS TERRORISTS, BECAUSE WE WERE THERE KILLING PEOPLE AND BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

AND THEN SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO DEFEND HER DUMBASS REMARKS?!

YOU SAID THEY WERE TERRORISTS, YOU LIAR!!

WHY DON'T YOU STAY HOME FOREVER? OH, AND GIVE THE PEOPLE A CHANCE TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN YOUR BLOG, WHETHER IT IS GOOD OR BAD.
I THINK YOU HAVE DISABLED THE COMMENTS SECTION BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE OVERWHELMED BY ALL OF THE E-MAILS CALLING YOU A TOTAL MENTAL MIDGET, AND AN UGLY ONE AT THAT!

STAY HOME!! YOU ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT PEOPLE CARE ABOUT YOU MORE.....THAN WE ACTUALLY DO.
WE DON'T CARE. STAY HOME!!!
YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES WERE UP YEARS AGO!!

P.S. WAY TO F---YOURSELF WITH THE TONY AWARDS PEOPLE!!
THEY WON'T TOUCH YOU WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!!!
ONCE AGAIN, SHE SEL;F-DESTRUCTS, AND WE ARE ALL THE BETTER FOR IT.
BECAUSE YOU WERE LOUSY AS A HOST FOR THE TONYS.

YOU SEE, THERE ARE SMART PEOPLE OUT THERE, AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KNOW A PHONY WHEN THEY SEE ONE.

YOUR CAREER IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ----OVAH!!!!

WE CHEER AT THAT KNOWLEDGE!!!

342. BW called Ro's partners' mother, Melanie, a bigot on the show. She never apologized, or explained why she said it. Why was this not news? If anyone is a bigot it's BW. I would have been furious, but Ro let it slide. BW is old, almost 80, yet she tries to be young and hip. Her remarks, and actions are deplorable. Why is this "has been" still on the air? She lied to Rosie, and DT. Anyone who takes a job on the View, be prepared for her venom. She will smile to your face, then stab you in the back. IMO

343. What is wrong with all you people? It was Elizabeth who said "you think our troops are terrorists?" Elizabeth, not Rosie..... get your facts straight! Rosie was saying what would you think if your country was invaded without cause??? Thats all!!!!! Keep the personal attacks to yourself. Its amazing to me how people can say such nasty and hurtful things about someone they don't even know. What a state our world is in. If you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. Who are the real "fat ignorant pigs" in this society?

344. I feel that its time that Rosie move on, she is a controlling person and if your views don't agree with hers then you're wrong. The View would be better served and would be taking the high road without someone like the bulling big mouth who phrases things in the way she wants it to come across because, she is so insecure in her dangling beliefs she thinks that by talking over your comments she can win her point. I say good-bye and if we the public are never exposed to you again …….. HAPPY DAYS THERE IS A GOD…
