Barbara Walters basically gave her basic all is good in the world speech and cracked Rosie’s face about her excuse that she left the show early, because of the “split-screen.” And like BW stated The View will go on! One monkey (not even a really really big one) don’t stop no show!

1. Rosie is just visually hard to look at!
2. Calling Kelly Ripa homophobic and she’s a known gay supporter!
3. Defending someone (Clay Aiken) against a homophobic remark when that person is not even out!
4. Criticizing both Star Jones & Kirstie Alley for their weight loss methods when she is the biggest person in the world! Who cares how they lost the weight, at least they tried!
5. Yells at people in order to express herself!
6. Reinforced the negative stereotype that lesbians are loud, fat, and abrasive!
7. A sensitive bully who cries and hangs herself upside down to ease her depression!
8. Turned The View into Jerry Springer!
9. Tainted Barbara Walters legacy!
10. Making an ignorant statement like “655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?” and asking her fellow co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck whom she has yelled at the entire year to help her. Rosie should be man woman enough to take responsibility for her own statements/insinuations and not ask for help from Elisabeth to get out of a hole she dug!

Don’t get me wrong I don’t agree with the values that Elisabeth Hasselbeck stands for. But that doesn’t mean that just because Rosie is gay and shares some of my beliefs that I don’t see her for the irritating pimple she is. Hooray for her leaving the show early!

Well, well, well. Looks like Kelli’s birthday bash provided a little introspection for Ms. O’Donnell. ABC released a statement today that revealed the talk show queen will not return to The View.

Brian Frons, President of ABC Daytime, had this to say:

“We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to ‘The View’ and wish her well.”

Rosie’s response? She simply said it’s been an “amazing year.”

According to Page Six, an ABC staffer had to be escorted from the building’s premises yesterday for defacing portraits of Elisabeth Hasselback by drawing moustaches all over them. The New York Post reports, “Rosie O’Donnell was not in the building. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter.” The statement did not reveal who was responsible for the vandalism.

This whole feud is getting out of control. Is this a day-time talk show or a daytime drama?!

If you missed the monster fight on the view today. Watch for yourself! Here are my favorite quotes:

Elisabeth

“You’re an adult and I’m certainly not going to be the person for you to explain your thoughts. They’re your thoughts. Defend your insinuations!”

“Its much easier to fight someone like Donald Trump, isn’t it?”

Rosie

“For the next three weeks you can say all the republican crap you want.”

“What you did was not defend me. I asked you if you believed what the republican pundits were saying…you said nothing and that’s cowardly!”

Who do you think is right?

Anyone who is not on the East coast, you must watch The View today. I’m sure the fight will be hitting Youtube in a matter of minutes. Trust me, the verbal showdown between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck was legendary!

To make a long story short, Rosie was mad that Elisabeth did not come to her defense two days ago. Elisabeth’s favorite news network, FoxNews, said that Rosie thought the US troops were terrorists. When Rosie asked Elisabeth what she thought of the comment, Elisabeth did not respond and instead suggested that Rosie clarify what she was trying to say. Rosie took this as a slap in the face because she said she considers Elisabeth a friend and was surprised that instead of denouncing FoxNews’ statements, she would rather play coy.

Here was the video from two days ago that lead to the argument today! (It’s at around 4:13)

Today, the topic resurfaced and the fur was flying. Honey, this was a catfight to end all catfights. They were calling each other cowards, while Joy was desperately trying to mediate and pleading to producers to go to commercial. It was really serious. I thought I was watching Jerry Springer or Flavor of Love for a minute. Even though I rarely agree with anything Elisabeth says, I must say she held her own. Rosie can be a really overpowering figure if you’re not ready.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Rosie decided to leave early. If my inclinations are correct, expect Barbara Walters (aka den mother) to make an appearance in the very near future to quiet the waters. You must watch if you get a chance. I’ll give you an update later…with video perhaps!

P.S. – I thought Rosie said she wasn’t going to fight with Elisabeth anymore? Ah well, that lasted all of 2 minutes!
