The resident shock jock at 'The View' has had a difficult time on the show since returning from vacation. Rosie O'Donnell makes her living blasting away on ABC's morning show and it is all justified in the name of ratings by ABC. That's pretty much the case with Don Imus and NBC.
Rosie and Imus are both are unfunny and past their primes, but both can still get a decent audience in their time slots with their cheap humor. Whether it's Rosie mocking the Chinese or Imus mocking young black women athletes bigotry is all done in the name of 'humor.'
But it all went bad for Imus this week as it came to a screeching halt and he is on his way out. So - what does Rosie think?
She's confused and bewildered as she surely understands that her weak jokes are basically the same as the 'I-man's' so called humor at times.
Now Rosie is confused and even believes that Imus getting canned by NBC means that those that want 'free speech' may be headed to Guantanamo Bay. I guess MSNBC will send them there as they are the ones that have canned Imus.
She is again using her blog to try communication while apparently missing the hypocrisy. She writes, "news in America - shock jocks rule the airwaves - in suits behind desks. Yes, Rosie the shock jock gets a lot of attention and rules the airwaves while sitting in a suit behind a desk. Is she so ignorant that she does not realize that she just 'outed' herself?
She continues, "Screaming. Shaming, blaming sexist, racist, ethnocentric, weightist homophobic." That's Rosie all right. She blamed Britain for the Iran hostage crisis. She mocked Asians with her ching, chang, chong bigoted remarks. She blamed and mocked the fit Miss USA Tara Conner when she sought treatment (that makes Rosie a weightist, right as Miss USA is not fat). She tried to shame American Idol while sitting with three other white women and called them racist.
She accused fellow talker Kelly Ripa of being a homophobe. Of course she missed on all of the rants, but she's a shock jock so - she was given a pass.

On Tuesday she was concerned that Imus was headed to Gitmo saying about free speech, "Right, but it’s not a freedom if you outlaw certain words or thoughts, because then the thought police come and then before you know it, everyone’s in Guantanamo Bay without representation." Even her usual lapdog Joy Behar exclaimed, "What a jump!"
Rosie is the queen shock jock of morning network television. No wonder she is so confused on how to handle the Imus situation
They could send Rosie to Gitmo, but they would be attacked by the PETA people for imprisonment of a whale.
LMAO
She is the one that should be fired. She has said the most hateful and horrible things about our country and our troops. She has dishonored the dead who died on 9-11 and all the troops that have given their lives in Iraq and elsewhere. She has said as much as if she had said she wishes the enemy would win.
Rosie O Dumnuts is an intestine with hair.
BWAAAHAAAAAAA!!!!
weightist? What the h*ll does she mean by that?
Weightist? Please! If guns kill people then spoons make Rosie O’Donnel fat!
Cuba would sink.
Did anybody bother to tell the loon that it’s her OWN Thought Police that are persecuting him??
Roise and NO EMAIL address on the VIEW’s website. Elizabeth trys but she is up against 3 and sometimes 4 against her. The View is a joke as is Rosie O and her nut case rants.
they dont have cells big enough for Rosie at Gitmo.
She’s too stupid to realize that it was her own Leftist buddies who shut Imus up.
Conservatives just sat back and enjoyed the view.
Rosie O’ pig? I don’t mind big people, but she is the most hateful, meanest POS, to make noise in America. Why do people even watch that disgusting thing? Perhaps I can sue for being offended every time I see her on ANY channel?
She deserved to be canned for her mocking of Chinese.
But we’ll be watching, Rosie! Your time will come!
“Weightist” is apparently a term that Rosie has coined to describe people who voted against a heavy contestant on “American Idol”.

As long as fools will pay to have her spout, she’ll spout.
Hmmm. Seems like that could solve a LOT of problems!!!
Rosie: “There’s no jail cell big enough to hold me!”
