Returning to The View seven years after departing in an angry, liberal tirade, Rosie O'Donnell sat down with Barbara Walters and some of her former colleagues on Friday. Updating everyone on life since the show, she revealed that Parker, her now 18-year-old son, will be attending the Citadel. The 9/11 truther snapped, "...How do you annoy your left-wing liberal pacifist mother? You become a big military man." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
O'Donnell admitted she interrogated her son as to why he made such a decision and he responded, "Only in America, mom, could somebody like you who came from a horrible childhood, grow up and adopt kids like me who needed a family and I owe something to this country." In her typically loud tone, O'Donnell mock screamed, "No, my son. You owe something to me!"
Rosie O'Donnelll: My Son Joined the Military to 'Annoy' His 'Left-Wing,' Pacifist Mother'
The liberal entertainer's views about America might cause some awkwardness with her military son. In 2007, O'Donnell fumed, "I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?"
On numerous other View appearances, she famously promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories, hinting that even Rudy Giuliani may have been in on the plot.
During the "hot topics"segments on Friday, the hosts discussed the drug-related death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. According to O'Donnell, doing drugs is the same as cancer:
O'DONNELL: It's about time we stop shaming addicts and we understand that it's a disease. In the same way we would never yell at anyone. "Oh, my God. You have cancer. I cannot believe you. You are so morally corrupt. We shouldn't do that to drug addicts."
Journalist Walters introduced the comedienne by admitting, "...We had some bad times, but they were never boring."
Mostly O'Donnell steered clear of outright political issues. However, when recounting a heart surgery she had, the comic recounted:
O'DONNELL: And when they [the doctors] came back in, they said, do you want to be shocked back to life?...I said a sentence I never thought I would utter, I said, "doctor, I am adamantly pro-life."
The segment ended with Walters promising return appearances by O'Donnell.
A partial transcript of the February 7 segment is below:
O'DONNELL: Parker is 18. There he is in his military uniform. He's been accepted to the Citadel. He's very into the military because, you know, how do you annoy your left-wing liberal pacifist mother? You become a big military man. He's the number one cadet at his school, Valley Forge Military Academy. He's very interested. When he was really, you know, I said to him, "Why, honey? Why do you want to do --' He said, only in America, mom, could somebody like you who came from a horrible childhood, grow up and adopt kids like me who needed a family and I owe something to this country." And I said, "No, my son. You owe something to me."
“It could NOT have involved a sober male.”
Even then, there ain’t enough bourbon in all of Kentucky to make her attractive.
Not defending her; I can’t stand her, but I just watched and listened to the video. She did say she is proud of him.
I think she’s gently poking a little fun at herself in this clip
= = = = = = = = = = = ==
I don’t like/can’t stand her BUT that is the thought I had.
Those answers seem like the kind of response a ‘comedian’ would make and I didn’t even hear them delivered, just reading them.
Whoopi has really let herself go.
Whoopi’s posture.
= = = = = = = = =
Just trying to make sure O’Gross gets a shot of that thang.
Not that you care what she thinks, just anything that would annoy her would probably be a good thing to do.
Perfectly obvious. INFILTRATION. A stick in the eye to the other parents when his two Mommies show up at Academy events. Considering where Barry is taking the military, isn't the leftist infiltration obvious?
Rosie: What about meeeeeeeeee?
In Iran, you’d be getting an AK shampoo for being a lesbian.
655,000 iraqi’s dead and who are the terrorists?
Who gives a flying fig.
Life is real simple for Vendome:
Americans first, help my friends of nations who are friends , show up with ‘Murican food, water, medical services and supplies for those in need.
Even in contrived not friendly to us, I believe we should help, help a lot and help first.
Everyone else can go to hell.
Simple as that.
I bet he went to Valley Forge because she didn’t want to be bothered with him.
I hate to admit but if she was ever in Greensboro NC, I think I did. I haven’t drank Southern Comfort since.
Whoopi’s posture. OMG
&&&
Yeah, I was thinking that when Rosie looks more ladylike than someone that someone looks pretty awful.
what a POS.. Her son is becoming a life taking, heart breaking bad ass wanting to serve his country and she complains about her feelings..
Instead of being proud of her son for wanting to serve his country, she thinks he should be serving her instead.
It's delicious and nutritious!
-— -.-
I wouldn’t hit that even after Jaegermeister.
No kidding. He's making a huge commitment of time and sweat (mental and physical) and it could only be to irritate her because he certainly wouldn't do it for anything trivial like love of country or his own betterment. I will concede that getting away from that narcissistic harridan has to be some kind of motivation though.
