Rosie: Leaving or Fired?

I report, you decide. Either way it's beautiful news that Rosie O'Donnell is going to be off Barbara Walters's popular morning show, "The View". Here's NewsMax's piece. Excerpts:

O'Donnell may have broken the proverbial camel's back this week when she used the F-word and grabbed her crotch when she emceed a gala awards presentation in New York .... According to the New York Post’s Page Six column, Barbara Walters "lowered her head on the dais and covered her face with her hand” when Rosie dropped the F-bomb.

O’Donnell ended a rant about Donald Trump by grabbing her crotch and shouting, "Eat me!" .... She also called Trump an "old, bald billionaire” and made a crude reference to his private parts.

Laura Ingraham reported the news on her show this morning with much celebration. She said that during the announcement the token conservative on the show, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, had a huge smile and was silently beaming. Laura speculates that Rosie will pull out all the stops on her verbal atrociousness in her final days. Nevertheless, the departure does seem to be a victory for sensibility and decorum.


Supposedly O'Donnell's presence was good for ratings, but it's being speculated that the recent crescendo in her crude behavior and anti-Catholic, anti-American vitriol is being seen as a liability regardless. My mother-in-law had been a faithful fan of the show but she quit watching it soon after Rosie joined. It was just too offensive for her after the poison contributed to the dialogue by O'Donnell. My opinion is that the show has always celebrated a mindless liberal viewpoint; the little I've seen of it has been enough to verify that.
