Rosie O’Donnell Stoops to Conquer

Bringing Rosie O’Donnell to “The View” has to be the cheapest stunt to save a show in the history of daytime television.

Here’s Rosie’s quote of the week: “Don’t you believe democracy demands dissent? Don’t you believe that like the Patriot Act has robbed us of us our civil liberties in this country, that fear has taken over from faith in democracy, in the Constitution?”

With the non-stop liberal, unhinged speech taking place on television and on the internet, how has fear replaced faith (of all words) in our constitution? Wow! Rosie is truly delusional.

Rosie has brought a variation on a theme started by Jerry Springer in the 1990’s: allow the ridiculous to keep you in the headlines. Rosie and Joy Behar make outlandish political statements every day. Rosie and Joy are two middle-aged women screaming for attention by throwing a moonbat temper tantrum nearly every day.

From the New York Post:

March 2, 2007 — AN on-air dig from co-host Rosie O’Donnell during an episode of “The View” this week left co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck in tears after the taping, sources told Page Six. “Elisabeth just can’t take it any more,” the insider said of her tensions with O’Donnell, who constantly slams her conservative stance. Things got especially ugly on Wednesday. Hasselbeck said she supported the government’s access to citizens’ phone conversations. Liberal O’Donnell responded, “Elisabeth, you are very young and you are very wrong.” Hasselbeck accused Rosie of ageism and broke down later off-camera. By yesterday afternoon, Rosie had blogged: “i said some of elisabeth’s comments were ignorant which was ignorant itself.” This wasn’t the first time the women have clashed on camera, but sources told us the insult was the last straw for Hasselbeck. “Her days there are numbered. She is looking to leave,” said the spy, who hinted that Hasselbeck was shopping for a permanent spot at E! O’Donnell’s rep, Cindi Berger, said, “They get along great. They have differences of opinion, but that’s what makes ‘The View’ so great and newsworthy.” Reps for “The View” did not return numerous calls.

Hot Air has the best round-up and video.

The “R” Blog is also worth a visit. Rosie tries to apologize in her own childish manner.
