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...
Go see Team America, it deal with that.
Everytime I click on your "George Bush will be re-elected by a margin of 10%" it pops up a screen of threads. Are these relevant?
Really? If Bush gets elected all the libs will have to move to one state? Great! If I wasn’t already going to vote for Bush that would seal the deal for me.
In Rosie's case, wouldn't it be a hog baster?
Someone posted yesterday that Hillary attracted only 300 at some event in Miami. If someone has the source for that we can add that to the growing list of examples of dem apathy.
Good God!! Give a guy a warning before posting a pic like that! I just ate for crying out loud!
These reports of dem events that are barely attended in contrast with the HUGE Bush rallies tell the tale.
Sorry! Should have added a warning of some sort!
Has anyone notice the right hand finger pointing?
This raised finger gesture, is evident with many of Demofascists of late...watch carefully and you will see it.....
I should have! You're right!
I'm about to drive by a Gore rally on my way to the grocery store. I'll report back on that crowd.
But believe BM the day after that? These folks have lost it all. Tokyo Rosie needs to SHUTUP AND... (Say, other than tossing down a few Krispy Kremes, just what does she do?)
Please do give us that report when you get back!
'Crazy Lesbian Goes Insane At A Kerry Rally.'She's flattering herself. Thinking that such an event is newsworthy.
I recall Cher's embarrassing eulogy of Sonny Bono at his Catholic funeral. She has talent but sure is dimwitted. They had to have her coached for quite a while so she could be even marginally believable as a lawyer in "Suspect".
Yeah, ok... they just hand out degrees at Harvard and Yale to people who can't pass tests... BTW, Rosie... from what college did you graduate?
If you put Rosie and Michael Moore inside a steel cage with a powdered sugar donut and just let them have at it, I might think about showing up to watch. Otherwise, forget it.
The foundation of our country is based on going to the UN? LOL That's up there with Cher telling her crowd how the president appoints "Superior Court" judges.
Good grief!
