If you want to double dip - she's also on Fox's Geraldo tonight.

of an incredibly fat woman with an annoying voice

I would call it perfect casting.

[Darkwolf]

Rosie could do a one-woman show called "Dumb and DUmber," she keeps topping herself with stupidity.

[jocon307]

ROFLMAO, that was mean, but very funny.

I actually read this story in Reader's Digest, years ago. It was sweet but kind of boring, iirc

costars with Andie McDowell

Andie MacDowell is hot; dumb as a stump, but hot. Still won't watch, though.

[hflynn]

CBS Hallmark presentation of "Riding the Bus With My Sister," the story of a fat-ass retard who is so effing obnoxious you want to shoot her in the back of the head,

Oh, Rosie's autobiography on Hallmark.

[Hardastarboard]

I never watch the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Nothing every blows up, there are no automatic weapons. How boring.

[passionfruit]

Rosie is fat and obnoxious, that's for sure. I am offended by your description of the character she plays as a retard.

As a kid I beat the tar out of other kids who teased or derided the mentally retarded. As an adult I joined my city's advisory committee on the disabled. My sister is mentally retarded, and if you met her you would think she was one of the sweetest people on earth.

You may still meet her some day, if you haven't already. My Mom is a freeper in the Seattle area, and my sister has attended some FreeRepublic events with Mom.

"i'M SPECIAL!"

[rabidralph]

I saw a commercial for it and I cracked up! Rosie is perfectly cast! I might watch some of it just to laugh at Rosie. IMDB's website has a message board at the bottom of the screen. Scroll down to see comments from movie buffs about Rosie. It's a hoot.

[Spyder]

Not a bad rant, but I disagree on this point:

"The only people who come off looking good are the millions of truly impaired/special needs people, who have never once been portrayed accurately in either a feature or a television movie."

Watch Door to Door starring William Macy sometime. One of the best (made-for-TV I think) movies about a "disabled" person I've ever seen.

I'm sending this to all my discerning friends...Rosie O'Donnell costars with Andie McDowell in...the story of a fat-ass retard

Really, what is your point? That if medical technology had been able to tell the mother that this child would grow into a "fat-ass retard" her mother should have aborted her?

What an embarrassment your post is to the decent folks here at FR. I hate censorship, but part of me hopes the moderator will remove it.

[Army Air Corps]

The mentally handicapped have enough problems without the insult of Rosie portraying one on TV. Think that the mentally retarded should file a class-action suit against O'Donnell for defamation of character...

[Dashing Dasher]

After her little rant on Geraldo yesterday, it will be a COLD, ICY day in HE11 before I watch anything that toad is in again.

[CaptSkip]

This is all MOOT!

Anyone with a sense of humor will be watching the return of Family Guy and the premier of American Dad tonight on FOX, beginning at 9PM, 8 Central!!

a fat-ass retard who is so effing obnoxious

Rosie didn't even have to audition.

[eccentric]

It may still be politically correct to mock the fat, but it's not nice. Mocking the mentally retarded is not nice, either.

[lowbridge]

bump

[TheSpottedOwl]

Friends don't let friends watch nausea inspiring television ;)

Roseanne could have taken that role from Rosie, if she had bothered trying.
