"View" Snoozes with Rosie Home

This morning, on an ABC morning talk show, four women sat around a glass table gabbing amiably about pop culture, current events and random marginalia, suffused with self-empowerment -- and they eschewed personal rancor. Huh?

Yo, ABC! Give us "The View" back!

The day after thermonuclear war broke out between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, "The View" was a placid (boring), supportive (boring), and happy (booooring) place once more, with Queen Babs back on her throne to restore order. Rosie was off celebrating partner Kelli's birthday, but the show didn't skirt around yesterday's slugfest, and guest co-host Kathy Griffin compared the dust-up to Christmas dinners in the Griffin family household.

Still, as of this morning, all Rosie was sayin' was that she didn't know when she'd be back -- if at all, according to her blog. And, more officially, Babwa called any suggestion that yesterday's fight was scripted "ridiculous."

46. It was boring. Joy can't carry the show by herself. Elizabeth and Barbara both need to go. They can replace Elizabeth, Rosie and Barbara. 4 women with no guest. The View is finished when Rosie goes.

47. Doesn't this site have any control on the filth in this forum? Did you read the comment at 3:39 5/24/07? If that's the kind of people that access this site, I'll just skip it.

48. I saw Kathy Griffin on tour a couple of months back. She wasn't as funny as her show on Bravo. I laughed a little but "my gays" found her a riot, so to each his/her own. I didn't get to see the View today because it was pre-empted by the President, which I thought was poetic considering he is thorn between Rosie and Elisabeth. I hope all the informed posters here watched his conference to keep up on the facts. But if it's true that Kathy kept bringing up the fight I say good for her. The View needs no more hypocrisy. To pretend today that everyone is just all sweet when you can go to Rosie's website and see she isn’t over it yet is silly.

49. The view was seen in it's entirety here on the west coast and central time zone as well.

50. I didn't get to watch the show this morning, Mr. President was speaking during our air time. But.........I did watch the clip on AOL where Alicia Silverstone snubbed Elizabeth yesterday when she came on the show. You know, you may not agree with Rosie, you may not agree with Elizabeth but it is a TALK SHOW and when you come on as a GUEST you show some manners where I come from. If she did that around my house I'd tell her "sugar you just broke your plate'. For those of you not from the South, that means YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME HERE if you can't show some manners. That was bad in my opinion, very poor taste, shame on you Alicia.

52. Hey #7-Is all the smart people as smart as you is?

Alicia Silverstone recoiled from that fart stain that is Liz. It is human nature to recoil from stupidity and ugliness.

53. The View wasn't on in my eastern timeslot this morning--because ABC had breaking news of the President's news conference for the full hour.

54. Wasn't tomorrow's taped show recorded BEFORE yesterday's bitch fest?!

55. It seems that there are a disproportionate number of Rosie O'Donnell supporters here. I don't know of anyone - family/ friends/co-workers - who supports her crude behavior. During her time on the View she has destroyed her career and severely damaged the reputation or Barbara Walters. The only positive has been the jokes every evening about her daily antics. Good luck Rosie. You and your family are going to need it.

56. IT WAS A BOOOOOORING SHOW BEFORE ROSIE AND THIS ONLY PROVES WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN SHE LEAVES. If it wasn't for BW's relationship with ABC that show would have been canceled long ago. And we need more women on TV so that's a damn shame. We never paid much attention to that annoying voice of Elizabeth before but once it got bitchy -WHOA get the hook. She is so what's wrong with America and who needs to hear what she has to say? Maybe if they found the "younger" co hosts in a library rahter then a island or a football stand. If I were Rosie I would have jumped her and ALICIA SILVERSTONE ROCKS. What a woman to walk right past EH and give Rosie a big hug. What so many of us would have done.

57. by Bush sucks

I'm curious was the presidential conference seen as well?

58. I tried to watch the View today. Just couldn't.........can't stand the little witch, EH. I will only watch the view when Rosie is on and then I am gone....

Yesterday HAPPENED!!! Elizabeth needs to apologize to Rosie.

59. I already miss Rosie O'Donnell...so done with the tea and cookies that The View delivers when she's gone.

Barbara Walters may have envisioned a different type of dialogue when the concept was sold to ABC in 1996 but this country is at WAR and over half a million Iraqis are dead, including a lot of innocent ones. Why is anyone who says that W's failed war needs to be scrapped held in contempt....Oh yeah, the ditzy blonde from Survivor is being spoon fed by the GOP. Lets hear her tone after SHE visits double amputee Vets in hospitals.

Done, done, done!!!!
