We all know there are mostly elements of the ridiculous in this 'feud.'
However, Trump is willing to play by Rosie's down-n-dirty rules and about time. Rosie loves to take the average celebrity's carefully-worded PR blurbs and ridicule the blurb and the celebrity for failing to come the point. Trump is sugarcoating nothing - he's making fun of Rosie's appearance, weight, lesbianism, and trophy-children faux parenthood - in short, he's covering all the bases that Rosie might retreat to and attempt to say "see, I'm not so bad." He's also making Rosie's co-workers and her bosses justifiably nervous by pointing out the anti-Midas touch that Rosie brings to any project.
If he gets any publicity I'm not bothered - he already saturates the airwaves with the willing help of NBC et al.
On a semi-related note, 'The View' is ostensibly created by women, for women. Why, then, are such shows always dominated/hijacked by loud, obnoxious, unfunny hacks? Can anyone not currently living in Manhattan envision living next to, or even near, a Rosie O'Donnell or Joy Behar? Politics/religion aside, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is as close to normal as one can get on network TV, yet she is ridiculed on-air and in print for being normal.
"Elisabeth Hasselbeck is as close to normal as one can get on network TV, yet she is ridiculed on-air and in print for being normal."
She is also a conservative.
I love Elisabeth. I'd like to see her host her own show. That will never happen on network TV, but hey, I'm just sayin'...
