"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."

61. Yes, it was. It pre-empted the morning shows as a special report. That also was shown to it's conclusion.

68. The rosie and eh fight was'nt really about who was right, it was eh fighting to have an opinion ,even though most would say it's a crazy opinion,rosie won't let anyone have thier own thoughts, she really is a bully in that sense .Rosie has been yelling and sceaming at anyone who dos'nt share her thought,she may be right but were all allowed to have our own opinions .

69. I'm glad I wasn't the only person to see that Alicia Silverstone walked right past the Hasseldrok and gave Rosie and the others a hug. Alicia yuo have class! That bitch Hazzelturd needs to go.

70. The view is ,they barely survived,Meredith,leaving.If they ,Barbara Walters thinks people tune in to see her she is sadly mistaken.Star Jones exit was a good thing,but Rosies exit is going to be devasting for the show,The only one left worth tuning in for is JOY .
Elizabeth will never draw a crowd she does not have a educated opinion,and I have never taken her seriously!!

71. How refreshing! Finally, a show without the loudmouth, obnoxious and opinionated Rosie O'Donnell. Barbara Walters would be wise to quickly get back to this type of show as a format for The View. Had Rosie been on there today, I would have switched it OFF.

What a breath of fresh air to hear Barbara and Elisabeth interviewing a young man who has helped place foster children in homes. A subject that is far more important to society than hearing the egotistical Rosie yell at Elisabeth because she didn't defend her. Who cares? Elisabeth was right, Rosie has the opportunity to explain her position on the troops herself, why should Elisabeth or anyone else do that for her?

Rosie is anti-American and since she doesn't believe in "terrorism" ... the best move for her after The View, would be to Iran or Iraq since she is such a defender of their people.

72. This show was a tea party until Rosie came, now everyone talks about it. ABC and Barbara should be glad to have had her and someone needs to just call Elisabeth out instead of being so polite so even when Rosie leaves, hope they're thinking of who else could do the same thing.

73. Mentally, the biggest difference between Ro and E is this:

E expresses her opinions as her opinions, and when people disagree with her she either quiets down or tries to rationalize her opinion (if it is a subject she has a strong opinion on).


On the other hand, Ro expresses her opinions as being the only logical way to think about a particular topic, and when someone disagrees with her rather than rationalizing her opinion or doing the mature thing and agreeing to disagree, she lashes out with personal attacks.

Rosie's children must be so well-adjusted and level-headed! Rosie's home must be such a happy, loving home with all the positive reinforcement she must give to both her partner and her children! YEAH! RIGHT! Personally, I don't respect her as a woman or as a mother.

74. To Kaili #43

I think you hit it right on the head. Rosie is jealous of Elisabeth! Elisabeth is young, cute, has a husband, and biological children. She has the life Rosie will never have.

Rosie, you need to be happy with yourself the way you are. You don't need to compare yourself to others. It's ok to be different.

75. The show was a BIG YAWN! Elizabitch should thank Rosie for saving the View and her job this year.
