ROSIE O'Donnell was booed by like-minded liberals when she started criticizing President Bush at a fund-raising dinner for GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
O'Donnell took the stage Monday at the Marriott Marquis to accept the Vito Russo Award. Regarding Michael Moore's widely criticized anti-Bush Oscar rant, she said, "If [Moore] wants to use the Oscar stage to express his views against a war that doesn't make sense, he should be supported and applauded."
O'Donnell then ripped into Bush and grumbled that the war was "killing Iraqi women and children."
"Rosie received some polite cheering, but there were audible boos from the crowd," our spywitness reports.
"Most people just stared down and rearranged their napkins waiting for her to finish. When she wrapped up, the audience was notably and awkwardly less enthusiastic than at her entrance," our source says.
"A smattering of folks tried to lead a standing ovation, but only about 5 percent of the attendees stood. Most people remained firmly seated and few applauded."
GLAAD rep Scott Seomin insists: "There was a standing ovation when Rosie got on stage. I was in the wings and did not hear any booing during [the tirade], and several people did stand when she left the stage.
"Rosie is an icon to the gay and lesbian community. Her remarks about the war were surprising to us at GLAAD, but we support free speech," Seomin added.
O'Donnell's rep Cindi Berger maintains, "Rosie wasn't booed. She was applauded."
Left-leaning political tantrums by other celebrities are also meeting harsh receptions. Last Tuesday, Susan Sarandon appeared on the BBC show "So Graham Norton." Audience member Kieran Aylward reports she went off on an anti-Bush tirade.
"For a whole hour, my friend and I had to endure the biggest anti-Bush rant I have yet heard," Aylward wrote PAGE SIX in an e-mail. "Ms. Sarandon also blasted the media, singling out the New York Post as the worst newspaper in the city.
"Most of her tirade was edited out, which pleased me enormously as I did not have to endure another headache listening to her."

"Ms. Sarandon also blasted the media, singling out the New York Post as the worst newspaper in the city. Translation: It's right of center, and is in full support of bush and the war.

I wonder if she didn't hear about the prisons of torture and starvation being opened since the war began, the children's prison that was opened yesterday, kids who had refused to joing the Ba'ath Party Youth Brigade, some had been in prison for 5 years! Prisons that held babies, toddlers, little kids.....

Better watch what you say about Rosie. If she finds out, she might eat your family.

Rosie donated her underware to the Iraqi military to bolster their biological warfare program.

ROSIE O'Donnell was booed by like-minded liberals when she started criticizing President Bush at a fund-raising dinner for GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. If they were booing her, they weren't all "like-minded." Looks like GLAAD may be developing a Log Cabin branch.

But, but....wasn't this the woman who said that she loved GW after 911...that she felt so secure with him in charge? Just like on the gun issue, where her anti-gunness had her body guards armed, its all about her.

Looks like another "Baghdad Bill" in the making.

What the hell is that?
Looks like a Skank-a-saurus Wrecks.
Absolutely gruesome.

The American people don't agree with this "woman". So Rosie better get with the plan. And she better do it "lickit-D-split". So to speak......
