The resident shock jock at 'The View' has had a difficult time on the show since returning from vacation. Rosie O'Donnell makes her living blasting away on ABC's morning show and it is all justified in the name of ratings by ABC. That's pretty much the case with Don Imus and NBC.
Rosie and Imus are both are unfunny and past their primes, but both can still get a decent audience in their time slots with their cheap humor. Whether it's Rosie mocking the Chinese or Imus mocking young black women athletes bigotry is all done in the name of 'humor.'
But it all went bad for Imus this week as it came to a screeching halt and he is on his way out. So - what does Rosie think?
She's confused and bewildered as she surely understands that her weak jokes are basically the same as the 'I-man's' so called humor at times.
Now Rosie is confused and even believes that Imus getting canned by NBC means that those that want 'free speech' may be headed to Guantanamo Bay. I guess MSNBC will send them there as they are the ones that have canned Imus.
She is again using her blog to try communication while apparently missing the hypocrisy. She writes, "news in America - shock jocks rule the airwaves - in suits behind desks. Yes, Rosie the shock jock gets a lot of attention and rules the airwaves while sitting in a suit behind a desk. Is she so ignorant that she does not realize that she just 'outed' herself?
She continues, "Screaming. Shaming, blaming sexist, racist, ethnocentric, weightist homophobic." That's Rosie all right. She blamed Britain for the Iran hostage crisis. She mocked Asians with her ching, chang, chong bigoted remarks. She blamed and mocked the fit Miss USA Tara Conner when she sought treatment (that makes Rosie a weightist, right as Miss USA is not fat). She tried to shame American Idol while sitting with three other white women and called them racist.
She accused fellow talker Kelly Ripa of being a homophobe. Of course she missed on all of the rants, but she's a shock jock so - she was given a pass.

On Tuesday she was concerned that Imus was headed to Gitmo saying about free speech, "Right, but it’s not a freedom if you outlaw certain words or thoughts, because then the thought police come and then before you know it, everyone’s in Guantanamo Bay without representation." Even her usual lapdog Joy Behar exclaimed, "What a jump!"
Rosie is the queen shock jock of morning network television. No wonder she is so confused on how to handle the Imus situation
They could send Rosie to Gitmo, but they would be attacked by the PETA people for imprisonment of a whale.
LMAO
She is the one that should be fired. She has said the most hateful and horrible things about our country and our troops. She has dishonored the dead who died on 9-11 and all the troops that have given their lives in Iraq and elsewhere. She has said as much as if she had said she wishes the enemy would win.
Rosie O Dumnuts is an intestine with hair.
BWAAAHAAAAAAA!!!!
weightist? What the h*ll does she mean by that?
Weightist? Please! If guns kill people then spoons make Rosie O’Donnel fat!
Cuba would sink.
Did anybody bother to tell the loon that it’s her OWN Thought Police that are persecuting him??
Roise and NO EMAIL address on the VIEW’s website. Elizabeth trys but she is up against 3 and sometimes 4 against her. The View is a joke as is Rosie O and her nut case rants.
they dont have cells big enough for Rosie at Gitmo.
She’s too stupid to realize that it was her own Leftist buddies who shut Imus up.
Conservatives just sat back and enjoyed the view.
Rosie O’ pig? I don’t mind big people, but she is the most hateful, meanest POS, to make noise in America. Why do people even watch that disgusting thing? Perhaps I can sue for being offended every time I see her on ANY channel?
She deserved to be canned for her mocking of Chinese.
But we’ll be watching, Rosie! Your time will come!
“Weightist” is apparently a term that Rosie has coined to describe people who voted against a heavy contestant on “American Idol”.

As long as fools will pay to have her spout, she’ll spout.
Hmmm. Seems like that could solve a LOT of problems!!!
Rosie: “There’s no jail cell big enough to hold me!”
I bet if we put Rosie in Gitmo we'd start getting all sorts of new intel from the terrorists. All we'd have to do is threaten to make them share a cell with that fat pig and they'd all start singing like canaries.
Someone should tell Rosie that Gitmo is for criminals, not the insane.
Bwahahahaha!
Imus to Gitmo?
She finally said somethng funny!
Waitaminute. If she goes to Gitmo then the US taxpayer would have to feed her. Talk about deficit spending....
She is a copperhead
Suppose he said "Nappy Headed Bull Dikes"? He has been known to use that terminology before.
Rosie and “thinking” are oxymoronic terms
Further, Rosie is emitting more than her fair share of CO2 into the air (I won't mention the methane gas).
Off to rehab, Rosie.
We haven't zeroed in on noise pollution yet, but our department is working on it.
Why yes, she's that ignorant.
The article reminded me of something my father-in-law always says:
When you point a finger at someone, three fingers are pointing back at you.
Weightist? Well I’m proud to say I’m a full-blown bullyist. And I’m an uglyphobe
“Conservatives just sat back and enjoyed the view.”
Give it time, it will soon be all our fault. No one blames their own group for failure. It’s always someone else’s fault.
Little trouble understanding the First Amendment Ms. O’Doughnut? Employers can’t restrict your rights but they sure as hell can fire you.
Calm down Rosie and stop thinking with your butt crack!
Rosie is off the reservation, I can’t believe ABC still has her under contract.
Rosie!
Shut Up and ... Well, you don’t sing... OK, then Shut Up and tell jokes... No, don’t do that... You’ve never been funny enough to be a stand up comedienne, at best just a VH1 video jock. I know... Shut Up and act... No, don’t do that either... I saw you in that womens baseball movie, and you were pretty good, but then I realized that wasn’t acting. You were just playing yourself... Then I saw that horrible movie with Dan Ackroid, and you proved that you can’t act...
I know... Just shut up and go away. That would be nice.

If they sent Rosie to Gitmo, the demos would claim “Cruel and Unusual” punishment to the Islamonuts down there now. Probably wind up having to turn all of them loose.
Oh the irony!!
They eat their own.
Certainly would be cruel and unusual for the Islamo-nuts. Can’t have a fat pig running around with all them Muslims.
And it would take them too long to make enough rope to strap a bomb belt around her fat @$$!
Free the whales! Fire Rosie!!
“Even if Imus does go to Gitmo, it likely won’t be the first time he’s wore panties on his head.”
ROFLOL!!! That reminds me of Rush’s comment about panties-on-the-head “torture”:
“By the way, don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it.”
LOL

Why does she get a pass for her racism and glaring stupidity, not to mention her anti-military, anti-American comments? Probably because she's an overweight lesbian and thus, an official 'victim' (in the left-wing alternate universe) with the kind of loony-left ideas that the powers-that-be at ABC/Disney like to see disseminated, especially by somebody else. Let's face it: Rosie has no credibility so she has nothing to lose and the physically live but otherwise brain-dead audience at 'The View' TV show will wildly applaud whatever ridiculous thing that comes out of her ample mouth. In addition, Ms. O'Donnell is a darling of the ultra-left, practically a guarantee of life-long employment somewhere in Hollywood, even if no one ever watches or listens to her again. Ask Al Franken or Bill Maher how that works.
Don Imus is an arrogant fool who very likely lives in the usual show business 'bubble'; surrounded by sycophants and insulated by his relative fame and his money. Well, for all that, the smug old fellow finally went too far and insulted the wrong group of people in a manner that could not be laughed off. Oh, Imus may manage to grovel enough to hold on to his lucrative radio gig. However, my guess is that he'll soon resign to 'save face' because he's been abandoned by the N.Y. left (who he probably thought were his friends) and humiliated by cheesy race hustlers. Besides, his radio show will now be censored, something the Imus ego won't be able to tolerate for very long, after decades of saying practically anything he wanted.
I don't feel much pity for the guy. Apparently he got away with years of occasional on-air sly racist comments couched as sarcasm - and made millions doing it. Well, the proverbial chickens finally came home to roost and Don Imus, at 66, is now finding out that he isn't as powerful and important as he thought he was, as he is forced to apologize to practically everyone in America for that one idiotic, racist comment multiple times and even has to genuflect toward race-hustling clowns like Al Sharpton, who stubbornly dismiss his obsequious toadying and continue to scream for his firing.
Oh, well. You reap what you sow.
Now, with a humiliated Don Imus slowing turning over the metaphorical spit of negative media and public opinion, I would like to see Rosie O'Donnell get her comeuppance. Unfortunately, I doubt she will, as she is apparently insulated by the leftmedia and her employer (Barbara Walters and ABC) so Rosie will likely go on uttering stupid and often outrageous on-air comments another few years until she, too, eventually insults the wrong 'protected' group or person. I can't wait for that day to come...and it will.
Rosie's next then Alan Colmes.
Deb I’m sorry for your loss and you and everyone should be proud of your son’s sacrifice. It is horrible the amount of pain that must be endured because of a media that repeats endless falsehoods and gives the individuals platforms to speak what on any other issue would be considered hate speech. I wonder how many soldiers come home to have to deal with friends and family who disrepect them because of the media lies. I wonder how many have to seek mental help because they instead of coming home to a heros welcome come home to an endless stream of coward speech on the tv from people who not only sympathize with the enemy but clearly wish them to win. There has got to be a solution to shut all of the liars up and that is what they are. They are not exercising freedom of speech preaching propaganda to rally the great unwashed against our nation. They have stepped beyond the line of reason and should be treated to dinner fit for only the insane.
I was thinking about what we can do and I realized that all the conservative media outlets spend most of their time following the liberal media’s line or responding to it. Why don’t they devote a once a week headline to something good going on in Iraq or Afghanistan? Why don’t they devote a half hour a week on radio to let our soldiers speak to their good works? I feel the anger against the left as well as any good God loving patriotic American does but the last thing I want is to have this simmering anger boil over even though part of me would love to lay hands on some of them and not in the religious sort of way. lol But it isn’t just Rosie, there are people just like her that work in the highest levels of the government. That is what should alarm all of us. The enemy works in DC and has the highest security clearances. They openly chat about how they can’t believe the President hasn’t been assasinated.
That said I’m one hundred percent behind you in boycotting ABC over Rosie’s comments.
lol She, like most liberals are studys in the art of indiscriminate thinking. They really don’t know how to tell the difference.
God bless you.
