Rosie would be a smashing success, winning personality and all, if Americans were not so anti-bulldyke. ;)

She looks a lot worse now. It’s an old photo.

Thanks Free ThinkerNY.

OWN has pulled the plug on Rosie O'Donnell's five-month old talk show... two months after the ailing network announced it had hired Shane Farley (Rachel Ray, Rosie O'Donnell Show) to replace Page Hurwitz as the show's executive producer and would move Rosie into a significantly smaller 70-seat studio... lower costs on a series that is averaging 190,000 viewers. "I thank Rosie from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this journey. She has been an incredible partner, working to deliver the best possible show every single day," said OWN chief Oprah Winfrey in a statement.

Can't be her fault. And that magazine (McCall's? Redbook?) she wanted renamed for herself a few years back, to compete with Orpah, its faiiure wasn't her fault either.

Schadenfreude.

She couldn't make it as a comedian she couldn't make it in the movies, and she has now repeatedly failed as a talk show host. What else can she fail at?

Harry Reid can try to get her a gig at a Nevada bordello...uh, answering the phone. No, wait...opening the door? No, no...I got it! Valet parking!

Ha Rosie O’Fatass! Another liberal going down the toilet! Obama will want to pass a law requiring the networks to provide air time to fat, hairy, loudmouth lesbians, but that shuts down Rush Limbaugh.

Another old fat queer waddles off into the sunset.

I think FR has twice the "ratings" with just the number of FReepers responding to this thread.

Orka must be fuming that she can't capitalize on it.

Good thing the unemployment rate isn't calculated by net weight......

“...a new network launch is always a challenge...”

And especialy so when no one wants to watch your liberal crap.

Ha! Ha! Posting on my Droid is a bad idea

I guess pigs without lipstick are not to appealing

They should have originally called the show “Elephant Walk” and passed it off as a nature show.

There is a resemblance.

[unixfox]

Gee, another liberal show bites the dust. Boo effing hoo!

[OneHun]

"...a loudmouth with a 60 IQ ?"

Now, why are you overrating her? 

[Bullish]

She needs to focus on her successes.

Did you mean to spell that >sucks-esses< ?

;^ )

I love the way liberals keep recycling other liberals that have a history of failure...not too good at business. Just good for a laugh at the employers and employee actions...

[Wally_Kalbacken]

You have to have mixed feelings about this one - I mean, without Rosie, who would have captured the pure idiocy of Angelica Houston?

[Tolkien]

I can't imagine watching a show where your IQ hits hyperdrive while going into the toilet.

THE HORROR
