"View" Snoozes with Rosie Home

This morning, on an ABC morning talk show, four women sat around a glass table gabbing amiably about pop culture, current events and random marginalia, suffused with self-empowerment -- and they eschewed personal rancor. Huh?

Yo, ABC! Give us "The View" back!

The day after thermonuclear war broke out between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, "The View" was a placid (boring), supportive (boring), and happy (booooring) place once more, with Queen Babs back on her throne to restore order. Rosie was off celebrating partner Kelli's birthday, but the show didn't skirt around yesterday's slugfest, and guest co-host Kathy Griffin compared the dust-up to Christmas dinners in the Griffin family household.

Still, as of this morning, all Rosie was sayin' was that she didn't know when she'd be back -- if at all, according to her blog. And, more officially, Babwa called any suggestion that yesterday's fight was scripted "ridiculous."

31. Yep, the View will go right back to the poor ratings it had before Rosie was brought on. You can call Rosie any ugly name you want and even disagree with her but the truth is that she is far more intelligent than most and knows what she is talking about. You then have that IDIOT Elisabeth who spouts nothing more than what she reads in the paper or hears on Fox News. How that STUPID woman got and keeps that job is beyond me! I would say she slept with someone but she doesn't exactly strike me as someone who enjoys sex unless it is to conceive a child to brainwash!

32. Rosie craves attention and she is a very angry person. Barbara was very foolish to hire her in the first place.

33. The View had no view. What a lousy show without Rosie. Barbara is boring as EH is. I can't wait for the show to tank. I loved that Alicia Silverstone ignored her greeting. I feel sorry for EH husband and daughter. Motor mouth is so phony. What a bitch.

34. it doesn't matter whether Rosie was there today or not......#1, on the east coast, Pres. Bush's speech was being shown (how ironic, eh?) so The View wasn't on; and #2, I won't watch the show again until she's gone......whether I agree with Elisabeth or not, yesterday's "war of words' was disgraceful; there are supposed to be 4 or 5 women on The View, with MANY opinions, not ONE opinion--only that of Rosie's. I've had it.

36. I think its funny that the pretentious commenter that went on about how all the educated people in the world can't believe people actually agree with Rosie somehow manages to not get the sentence out without making numerous grammar/typographical errors.

I'm just saying, the irony is pretty great.

37. Rosie & Donald are both loud mouthed, obnoxious bullies. As far as I'm concerned someone should do to them what mean people do to yappy dogs....CUT THEIR VOCAL CHORDS!!! I can't stand either of them and anyone who gives them a platform to run their mouths should be shot. If I were Rosie's mother I'd have checked out early too!

38. Why do people even watch The View anyway?? I've never seen an episode. I unfortunately started to know about it around the Star Jones Drama, not i have to hear it around the Rosie drama.

Am i the only one that can't stand Rosie??
& people please, how are you going to call Elizabeth ugly & a hoe?? seriously, then what would you call Rosie, a model? Please.

Yes, costaMesaboy, you really "is" showing your intelligence. The higher education that you obtained was obviously not lost on you. You "is" smart. Great use of grammar and punctuation.
You "is" really smart.

40. How did you all see the view, when it was interrupted for the entire hour with our so called president??

Posted at 4:00PM on May 24th 2007 by EH has been inhaling her spray on orange tan

41. Didn't get to see The View this morning.......How ironic.....The View was pre-empted by the President this morning.
Barbara needs to take back control of her show and clean house!!!!!

42. The view will return to poor rating again after rosie leaves

43. In New Orleans, the View was preempted for Rosie's favorite person- President Bush! It was fitting that Rosie was absent today. I only like it when she is on anyway. Barbara can barely follow a thought long enough to articulate it without being prompted by one of the hosts, usually Rosie. People insult Rosie's intelligence, but she is the one holding the show together. Elisabeth and Joy appear vapid and uninterested, in that order.

44. Rosie is a big mouth who doesn't think before she speaks. Please go away. Better yet marry Michael Moore another unAmerican jerk. If you don't like it in the USA go away...as quickly as possible. More power to Elisabeth! Don't ever let people like Rosie O'Donnell talk you down. And Don imus got fired...you figure!

45. Rosie is an absolute bitch and I hope she doesn't come back. Who the hell does she think she is to go after anybody like she does? It seems her opinions are the only ones that matter. I am sick of her. And Alicia Silverstone, a nobody actress, siding with Rosie and slighting Elisabeth shows no class and in the same bush league as the Pig Rosie.
