Rosie O'Donnell lands a gut punch

[linazelle]

She was just interviewed by Extra as her court trial comes to an end. She said the usual positive stuff but her ending comments were:

"Last month 36 soldiers were killed in Iraq and I was the top story. What is wrong with that picture.?"

Of course they hurriedly went to commercial. Way to go Rosie!

[cprise]

1. That was great of her to say it

We need point prominent people like Rosie to point out how twisted are today's news media.

[Sagan]

2. I'm surprised she didn't use the time to bash Clinton...

Rosie should be HAPPY those soldiers are dead. After all, they died for King George's glory.

[linazelle]

4. Huh???

what are you saying?

[Terran]

8. She was a big supporter of Bush

as insane as that sounds. Maybe she's seeing the light. Pity all these people had to die for that to happen.

[Lorien]

18. WTF???

you mean ROSIE O'DONNEL? Gore's #1 fan in 2000 who took perpetual heat for her partisan support of the Democrats while she had her talk show? THE Rosie who led a campaign against Jeb Bush's war on gays in Florida?
She's been a liberal through and through-if anyone has a link to something that quote's her as saying "I love George Bush", they ought to post it. I can't imagine Rosie the leftist (as my Rosie hating reich-wing co-workers called her) suddenly becoming such a pod person.

20. I think she was in shock

Some of people that live in New York lost their senses when 911 happened. I think she was one of them that went off the deep end, she must be coming out of it now.

[LTR]

3. Remember this: "I love President Bush"

Uhhh, maybe not anymore.

Never did like her, though. I hear she's a mean, nasty person.

[linazelle]

5. I never knew Rosie's political background

and still don't. But, I'm still happy she made that comment.

[slinkerwink]

6. you're just buying into what the media is saying about Rosie....

so why perpetuate the "rosie isn't nice" meme?

[nostamj]

13. Rosie, a NYer,

was in 9/11 SHOCK (like many of us) at the time.

i think she's seeing things clearer now.

at least, I hope.

[Wickerman]

7. I get her point

and appreciate that she made it, but no, sorry, she wasn't the top story. Point was made, but she ain't that bigga deal. Not an indictment on her, I'm fine by her - only on her statement.

[NicoleM]

15. Actually

there have been several times on the news lately when the Rosie trial is discussed ahead of anything going on in Iraq.

I've got nothing against Rosie O'Donnell, but for the life of me I can't figure out why anybody thinks this is an important news story.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Wow! That was good on her!

Way to tell the truth Rosie!

[corarose]

10. She kissed King Georges Ass

I can't forgive her for that.

[veganwitch]

11. i <3 rosie

queer women rule. good for her. im very glad that shes been able to come out of her shell when she came out.

[iverglas]

12. how unfortunate

... that she didn't think to mention the Iraqis who were killed last month, or the month before, or the month before ...

They just don't get mentioned a whole lot anywhere, do they?

.

[proud patriot]

14. Rosie was as oppose to the invasion of Iraq as I am

I saw her on Donahue .

[stanwyck]

16. She's right, but I still resent

her very loud Clinton bashing. She's been the victim of unfairness and mean spirited attacks. So why did she feel the need to respond so hatefully to Clinton?

[Frangible]

17. She's pretty mean spirited herself

One comment of hers I recall is how she wanted all gun owners to be "locked up"... not exactly a "fair and balanced" perspective, now is it?

Although, I do agree with her comments here, but just can't say I like the woman, although I don't really care enough to strongly dislike her.

[Lorien]

21. What Clinton bashing?

She had Hillary on her program several times and supported her campaign.

[indigo32]

19. Funny

I listen to NPR and I don't think I heard anything about her, or a certain basketball player or Mr Smith. Thank Goodness. I'm glad she said it though.

23. She reminds me SO much of my ex-wife...

Plus-size, black hair, loud, obnoxious, likes girls, and
an all-around not-nice person.
"People who lie catch Cancer and die", indeed!

And she DID almost declare that she liked men again (just Shrub, though) after 11 September....

[carrowsboy]

24. she's a fat hypocrite!

She bashed Clinton over & over for lying about Monica, yet now she admits she lied about telling that woman she would get cancer.

Fattie O'Donnell is a huge (no pun intended) embarassment to the gay community. She should hook up with her idol, Bill O'Reilly, and move to a deserted island.

25. Carrowsboy, did you see the special Sunday nite on Cher??

I think it was E! The replayed it right after the first airing.
It covered her whole career, lots of photos and great clips.

She's a cool lady.

[roguevalley]

26. she called into C-Span to run down bush hiding the sick and dead.

she rocks. She always has. There's a great joke she
likes to tell on herself. When the world ends, all that
will be left is Cher and cockroaches. :)

27. Insulting people's weight deflates your argument

no pun intended.

[preciousdove]

28. Rosie was disappointed in Clintons indescretions but she did not bash him.

Rosie changed when she got the death threats against her kids. Moved to Florida (not the best idea). She thought it was because she supported Gore and was against guns but it started when she did a couple bits about Lyme Disease and riled up the creepy bio-terrorism people who are controlling the spin on the disease. The activist and former researcher who filed a Rico suit against them had her kids taken away from her in CT by someone reporting the lies she was abusive and a drug user. Several other activist had to fight Munchhausin by Proxy charges against them for trying to get help for their sick kids.

What you don't need when you have a chronic, debilitating disease ravaging you or yours is for the governemnt to help the insurance companies mess with you and your medical providers and anyone who tries to help.

[carrowsboy]

29. sounds like bashing to me!

Just a day after Bill Clinton showed up at the casino to receive an honor (and then broke out his saxophone for a performance), the Democrat O'Donnell dissed the ex-President and said she refused to speak to him.

"He disgusts me," she told the crowd, according to the New York Post. "And I know I'm not supposed to say this because I'm a good Democrat, but I didn't want to to him because he lied to me when he said, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman,' and then put the scarlet-letter bl-- job on her for the rest of her life...I hate you."
