The Uncontrolled Demolition of Rosie O'Donnell

Has Rosie O'Donnell gone from being just another vociferous media liberal to a full-blown 9-11 conspiracy theorist? It would appear so. Have a look at Rosie's recent blog entry, wherein she serves up an array of controlled-demolition eccentricity. Turns out, according to O'Donnell, 9-11 was all a big plot to do away with FBI and other investigative files on Smith Barney, WorldCom and . . . Enron. What, no Halliburton?

Writes Rosie:

For the third time in history fire brought down a steel building reducing it to rubble. Hold on folks here we go.

• The fires in WTC 7 were not evenly distributed, so a perfect collapse was impossible.
• Silverstein said to the fire department commander “the smartest thing to do is pull it.”
• Firefighters withdrawing from the area stated the building was going to “blow up”.
• The roof of WTC 7 visibly crumbled and the building collapsed perfectly into its footprint.
• Molten steel and partially evaporated steel members were found in the debris.

A few weeks ago, as I noted here, "The View" had as a guest actress-singer Christine Ebersole who enthused that she had discovered a 9-11 conspiracy maven who was "so great" and that she was "crazy" about him." I'll say.

Rosie helpfully provided the conspiracy-monger's name: John Conner. Now we know why. She has apparently been reading, and buying into, his theories.

Will Barbara Walters at some point say "basta," or will she permit the descent of her show into utter absurdity?

This women is mental ill and is in serious need of help, too bad she was allowed to adopt children.

Everything Rosie touches turns to garbage. I stopped watching the view a long ago. This just reinforces my opinion that 'The View' won't be around much longer. They say the ratings are up but I don't believe it. Rosie O'Donnell should go live a quiet life with her 'wife' and her adopted/IVF children.

Rosie is a disgusting, bitter, Dutch wall to contain water...

[Txsleuth]

I never, ever have watched The View...but, my TV was on the ABC station when I turned it on this morning..and there it was.

I have to say...that Barbara Walters is the one that disgusted me the most today...going on and on about her new boyfriend Hugo...blech!!

It's hard to believe that this is the same woman who, in the immediate aftermath of 9-11, said she was glad that George Bush, and not Al Gore, was our President. Then again, she's the same woman who promoted the "Million Mom March", cussed Tom Selleck out for supporting the NRA, and had armed guards protecting her children.

There is no crime wallowing in stupidity, bur she should be held accountable for the garbage she puts out. The media is perfectly willing to accommodate her rant, because it keeps certain people upset.

Rosie is very confused.

[mad_as_he$$]

Guess what! View ratings are up. (What does that tell you about our country?)

John Conner? OMG ....

It says the people who watch this crap vote Democrat.

Adoption agencies should not be a store where celebrities and Lesbians and Homosexual men can go down and buy kids.

Select them off the shelf according to gender and race and take them home to screw up their lives.

Rosie didnt just get crazy yesterday,she has been certifiably insane for a long time. All Homosexuals are playing with less than a full deck, Rosie is playing with about half of it missing.

I cannot believe any national TV program would spend good money to keep either of those two has beens onTV when they could have a good animal show

[bluecollarman]

You mean this hottie?

[elhombrelibre]

Rosie's way beyond basta; she's got to get her prescriptions fixed.

[unkus]
