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."
Imagine he actually makes it INTO the Ranger Regiment, gets deployed and gets trigger time. I wonder what she'd say if he brought her home a Taliban scalp?
It would send her to the Stae Nut House and locked in,
Yep, liberals are all legends in their own minds - the world revolves around only them....
God Speed to her Son!
Ships him off to Forge....how motherly
....erstwhile gay had to have one parenting
Frigging harridan butch bitch
Going to Citadel is not exactly same as joining military now
You can join the corps with out being ROTC.... NOWADAYS?
when daddy did VMI....the superior military academy...ROTC AND commission were mandatory.... 50s
Someone can correct me....and yes I loved the old Citadel...
Nowadays both are pale reflections of their past
If I could afford 50k a year my 8th grader would be headed to Culver...he could use it
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.
__________________________________________________________
That’s the feeling I got, too. I watched the clip. She was being funny. You could tell she is proud of him.
“What a piece of work”
And by saying “work” you mean “feces”, right?
RLTW
what class were you?
my son was 1999..........
Rosie, first, you should be a proud dad.
Second, this is like that atheist couple who wrote for the Guardian who sent their little girl to Catholic school and had her come back and say “Mom, Dad, I want to join the Church.” You sent the kid to one of the best military schools in the country. You didn’t at least consider this could happen?
Speaking of which, third, the only thing that’d make me more amused about this is if the kid were devoutly Catholic, enough to sit you down and go “Mom, I love you and I always will, but...”
