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...

[stockstrader]

There was a sign in the audience that said, "LESBIANS AGAINST BUSH".

Isn't that an oxymoron??

[26lemoncharlie]

Empty seats for Hollywood ego's. Maybe this could be their next reality show. Did anyone throw a tomatoe?!!

[eddie willers]

[bust]

NOw that's funny! Truly funny things have to have a bit of truth. This obviously does. Mac's show is torture.

[cripplecreek]

Lets give her John Kerry and John Edwards. They can tide her over till she finds a man.

[RckyRaCoCo]

SHUT-UP AND EAT!!!

yep

Bloated, worthless, hollywood trash bump

[libs_kma]

What a gigantic slap in the face of reality it must be to these idiots to find out that when they get outside their circle of foot-lickers and butt-kissers that people don't really care what they have to say.

[ValerieUSA]

*LOL* About 38 people showed up for the funeral of McCall's, if I recall correctly. Rosie was indicted for that murder by the readership.

[MKM1960]

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. --And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Hey Rosie don't see any exceptions for the UN here.

Obviously you are an idiot sheeple lesbian. Go back to what you know and it's not Government. Your profession is to make me laugh, not presume to speak to me about government other than an equal. I hope you really, really, really like your girlfriend, No she isn't your wife. The higher courts in CA took care of that for you.
You will be spending an inordinate amount of time with her. You are no longer telling jokes, YOU ARE THE JOKE.

[lunarville]

"Rosie told the packed crowd of 38 that...this is all George Bush's fault."

She's right!

[T'wit]

I guess the Democrats don't care. Listening to Rosie is no worse than a root canal without novocaine. If they really loved Kerry as much as they say, twice as many of them would have turned out -- four, maybe five dozen!

Or course, there is always the factor that the audience has to look at her too.

[arasina]

Egad! I actually found myself in agreement with one of its statements! "Just remember this, don't believe the media in these last nine days..."

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...President Bush, graduate of Yale and MBA of Harvard?

And Bush has run corporations, met payrolls, understood what customers want and understands the problems of excessive government regulation. With very few noted exceptions, none of these Hollywood losers has ever started a company and created jobs. Most are uneducated and depend on mediocre talent.

[OKIEDOC]

So would Larry O'Donnell and MSNBC.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Obviously woman love is just not doing it for Rosie. She is as frustrated as ever.

[Fiddlstix]

Warning: This Post is "X" Rated!

(Actual Picture of Rosie in the Shower)

[freeperfromnj]

Rosie and Cher are sure bringing down the house

[Carolinamom]

Anybody recall Rosie or Cher getting a degree from Yale and a MBA from Harvard? Do they ever learn to fly jet fighters? Go into the Oil business? Own a baseball team? Win a governorship TWICE? Win a Presidential Race? Become Commander in Chief and fight a war?

I thought not. They should take Laura Ingraham's adice to "Shut Up and Sing"...the lib blues.

[JanetteS]

Let's get Streisand to come to Florida so we can work on her ego a little (or a lot...it would really take a lot of work on that ego!)

[Liberty Valance]

Maybe Tom Selleck could send Rosie a "get well" card. :^)
