FEW DOZEN TURN OUT TO HEAR ROSIE O'DONNELL ELECTION PREACH
**Exclusive**
Rosie O'Donnell addressed a nearly vacant CLUB OVATION Saturday night in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida during a get-out-the-vote rally for Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry.
"You know, there's only like, you know, maybe 38 of us here and maybe we can just like tap a keg and put on some disco, and totally party," O'Donnell deadpanned.
The debacle came one night after only a couple hundred came out to see Cher rally for Kerry at Miami Beach's CROBAR disco.
"There were supposed to be thousands of people here tonight. I'm not sure why that didn't happen, obviously the people putting on this thing were just not very good at it," an embarrassed Cher explained to the crowd.
A top Florida Democratic party official dismissed the weak back-to-back club turnouts as any indication of voter enthusiasm for the Kerry candidacy.

Rosie endorsed Kerry's assertion in debate that America needs to pass a "global test" before acting in the world.
"The best part to me in the entire debate was when John Kerry said we have to pass a global test before we enter into a war. And you see George Bush got all nervous because frankly the word 'test' terrifies him," O'Donnell said to scattered chuckles.
"He never passed one at Harvard or Yale, but whatever. But there is a global test. It's the global test of decency, of humanity, of integrity. That's what our country stands for as we lead the free world. Let's take back our country. Let's elect John Kerry."
Rosie said the Bush Administration's actions go "against the foundation of what our country was built on," giving example of Administration telling the "United Nations we would ignore their doctrine and their resolutions."

Rosie continued: "Every single thing this White House has done goes against the foundation of what our country was built on. For us to tell the United Nations we would ignore their doctrine and their resolutions, for us to say that we will not adhere to the Geneva Convention during this war. We are America, we are better than that. We were built on the foundation of freedom and truth and equality for all people. And the rich, corporate, horrible, horrible people who have been destructing and ruining everything this country was made on has been really unbelievably damaging to all of us spiritually, emotionally, monetarily."
Rosie advised the audience to ignore any and all media in last days of the election race and to keep telling themselves "Kerry by a landslide!"
"Just remember this, don't believe the media in these last nine days. Tell yourself every day when you wake up and every morning when you have a worry or a doubt or whether you believe FOXNEWS: Kerry by a landslide. Because America knows the difference between genuine and junk."

Finally, Rosie spent an inordinate amount of time at the end of her speech cracking jokes about THE VIEW co-host Star Jones, suggesting that the daytime diva's weight loss was not the product of "diet and exercise," but of plastic surgery:
"Star Jones is my body double. She's getting smaller every day. I'm telling you ladies, it's diet and exercise. [Rosie pauses giving disbelieving look, then makes popping noises as she motions around her body implying plastic surgery] No problem, [singing] 'I believe in dissolution.' Okay, that's fine. She's alright. She's married to some guy, it's fine. Ah huh. Yeah. The thing is -- it's fine, it's alright, leave it. What do I care? I don't even watch TV in the day... He is a cute boy. And I'm gonna leave it there because I see that camera rolling. And all the Kerry thing will go away and it'll be 'Rosie O'Donnell Attacks Star Jones!' And in the Enquirer it'll be 'Crazy Lesbian Goes Insane At A Kerry Rally.'"
Developing...
I mean, everyone just loves them right?......These pair of boobs are fine examples of how self deluded the hollywood left is in this country.
Maybe the real reason none of their followers was there was because they were all so tired after a long day of trying to harass the republican voters at the polls.
"I'd be quite surprised if Rosie had completed anything in her life, much less a college degree."
Wait, let's be fair and balanced...I am 100% positive she has completed several large meals in her lifetime...
You're right, I'm sure. But I didn't write the quoted part.
Dude! If we put magnets around George Washington's casket, and wired it up to our cities.... We'd have enough electricity to power this nation for years to come!
She was insane before she got to the rally.
I don't know, but does 38 rally constitute a rally?
Rosie and Cher. Dear God. Two total nitwits from the word go.
Rosie with her MAD, UGLY, EVIL face pointing her ugly finger just like kerry does.
Cher with her botoxed face and body just like kerry...
Rosie is just an angry female who is filled with hatred inside.
Cher is just plain old scared of growing old and so she gets all botoxed up, dresses like a hippie of the 60's with her headband and hanging hair and then goes out and tries to "connect" with the MTV crowd. I DO believe I read one time Sonny told her to grow old graciously. Obviously she didn't take his sage advice.
Cher can dress and botox and plastic surgery until she is blue in the face but the one thing she can't change is the fact she is getting old just like the rest of us. The treatments she takes to "look young" cannot change her insides. She is still over 50. Too bad she can't enjoy her life instead of being so unhappy over it. Instead she makes an ass of herself trying to look young forever. Hey Cher, it doesn't work that way. Guess nobody told you your time in the music industry is over. When WAS your last big GOLD album anyway? Let it go woman...you're done. Go out gracefully. Oh you can't that's right...I forgot.
As for Rosie...she is a very, sour, bitter, angry person but...she personifies the dem/lib party so...guess she is successful. :)
With these two "ladies" speaking for kerry to such PACKED, SOLD OUT audiences I guess we should be scared. :)
The plain truth is simply that NO ONE WANTED TO HEAR ONE LOSER PLUGGING FOR ANOTHER LOSER!!
ROTFLMAO!!!!
oh so these were the people watching her on tv.
If put to a 'global test', her lifestyle would have her be-headed. Maybe we need to rethink this global testing idea.
I'd bet that those that did show up was only for the free booze - afterwards they quickly got stoned out so that they would'nt have to endure her droning voice.
Oh no!!!! they're making her wear panties on her head!!!...the horror
Rosie first attended Dickenson College in Pennsylvania, then transfered to Boston University. She then dropped out to pursue her comedy career.

"I'd be quite surprised if Rosie had completed anything in her life, much less a college degree. "
A sackful of Big Macs?
And this little gem of bigotry:
She's married to some guy, it's fine. ... He is a cute BOY.
When was the last time ANYONE could call a grown black man a "boy"?
Thar She Blows!!!
