The ***** is gone, the ***** is gone...teeheeheeheeheeheehee

[EStreetJoe]

based on the subject line I thought something happened where spup worked and she was celebrating... then I realized she didn't start the thread.

 

[ondeadline]

Maybe it's because I know that a headline is supposed to tell you what a story is about, but I've always hated subject headers that really don't tell you what the thread is about.

I stopped watching "The View" when I found myself nauseated by Star's never-ending name-dropping on her best friends and such, and the desire to watch again didn't come back at all when O'Donnell was named a co-host.

I'm sure money is the driving factor here, but this may have been the nail in the coffin...

ROSIE GROSSES OUT MEDIA ELITE

April 24, 2007 -- ROSIE O'Donnell's blue humor made faces red when she emceed the Matrix Awards in front of 2,000 feting New York's most accomplished women in media at the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom yesterday.

The loose-lipped lesbian dropped the F-bomb as Barbara Walters lowered her head on the dais and covered her face with her hand. O'Donnell concluded a rant about Donald Trump by grabbing her crotch and shouting, "Eat me!"

O'Donnell also said she was sad when Trump called her "disgusting" and "fat" because, "it was always my dream to give an old, bald billionaire a boner."

The annual luncheon of N.Y. Women in Communications - which honored Cindy Adams, Meredith Vieira, Joan Didion, Susan Lyne, Arianna Huffington and Lisa Caputo, among others - featured as presenters News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, Joy Behar, Nora Ephron, Martha Stewart and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Also on hand were 17 sweet-faced high school girls who won scholarships to pursue their dreams of careers in media.

"I was offended by how vulgar and common O'Donnell was," said Robert Zimmerman, a Democrat active in progressive causes. "It was especially inappropriate with young people present."

Brandon Holley, editor-in-chief of Jane magazine, said, "I wasn't personally offended, but I thought it was fun to watch other people be offended."

"I cringed and dove under the table when she said, 'Eat me,' " said one woman attendee who declined to be identified.

Among those in the crowd were Judith Giuliani, her predecessor Donna Hanover, Judge Judy Sheindlin, Helen Gurley Brown, Sue Simmons, Geri Laybourne of Oxygen Media, Jane Friedman of HarperCollins, and Hearst president Cathie Black.

O'Donnell's publicist, Cindi Berger, told us: "When you ask for Rosie, you know what you're getting. She's not a shrinking violet. She's a stand-up comedienne. She says things that are provocative."

N.Y. Women in Communications was evidently happy with O'Donnell. The group's managing director, Beth Ellen Keyes, sent an e-mail to her handlers saying, "Rosie was fabulous. Please let Rosie know how much we appreciated her being there. She was just great."

The saddest part of this story: AP decided that it merited a news alert.

No excuse for the AP there. They should know better than that.

She probably thinks her racy scenes with Julian McMahon in NipTuck elevated her star status. Trust me though, it was nothing to brag about. ::)

I am glad she is gone from the View. She was never a good fit for the show. Hasselback is probably going to a cable network because she fillied in on a show and the reviews were great for her.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

Wonder why she quit.

The toilet paper wasn't big enough.

 

[zeke12]

When you're grasping at this as a political victory, Yawn, you should be able to see the bottom coming up at you.

 

[Bubbler]

Yawn claims a political "victory" based on The View? How sad.

 

[slappy4428]

Rosie's gone, I am a happy camper. I can start my day now...

 

[zeke12]

Yawn claims a political "victory" based on The View? How sad.

In fairness, he mentioned Hannity, too, so there is an element of sexual yearning at play as well.

 

[slappy4428]

Mess with Rupert Murdoch, will ya?

If only all trolls would disappear from their fishing grounds.

"I was offended by how vulgar and common O'Donnell was," said Robert Zimmerman, a Democrat active in progressive causes. "It was especially inappropriate with young people present."

Common is a very good word to describe Rosie O'Donnell. She used to be funny until she thought she was actually important, now she's loud, angry and obnoxious.

I'm d_bing , but girlfriday copy and pasted the story that I was going to post: http://www.nypost.com/seven/04242007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm

Baba Wawa had enough of Rosie embarrassing the **** out of her. What wasn't added that is on Page Six was that Barbara held her head in her hands in shame when Rosie got loose. I don't think Rosie quit, in as much as Barbara telling her to either curb her antics or Walters was going to personally ask her to leave.

It's actually a very sad day for the right wing.

They LIVE --- absolutely LIVE --- for people like Rosie so they can . . .

1. Feign outrage at what they say and . . .

2. Use them as an "example of the America-hating left . . . "

All you have to do is check out the number of times O'Reilly et al have mentioned her to see how deeply they need her and people like her.

Without Rosie, they have to go back to reporting on, you know, real issues and real news.

And that's nothing the GOP can discuss with any sense of pride.

I didn't know this was a Republican-Democrat issue?

I thought it was about a "celebrity" leaving a show.

No, you really didn't.

Not when you consider who started the thread --- someone who has never posted one non-political word on this board --- and the tone of the glee in the initial post.

And not if you have seen even three minutes of Fox News in the past month.

What I remember from that scene is that as disgusting as it must have been for the character to be boffing Rosie, listening to her was worse: "Shut up, Doris!"

So he doesn't like Rosie?

We'll let you know when we need your help deciding for us when and where our sense of pride comes into play. When you say we can't discuss issues with any sense or pride, you really mean we can't discuss issues in a way that agrees with your template.
And two other things: 1. Just because Fat Ro is leaving The View doesn't mean she'll shut up, 2. There are a lot more left-wing nut jobs to make our day.
