The 'queen of nice' goes nuts
LA Times ^ | 4-3-07 | JONAH GOLDBERG

Posted on 04/03/2007 5:13:01 AM PDT by veronica

Rosie O'Donnell's wacky 9/11 conspiracy theories should get her kicked off 'The View.'

RENOWNED metallurgist Rosie O'Donnell proclaimed on TV on Thursday that Sept. 11, 2001, was a more significant date than most of us realized. It was, in her words, "the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel."

This, of course, came as news to steelworkers, blacksmiths, firefighters, manufacturers of samurai swords and other fools who hadn't realized that steel is forged in magic furnaces using dragon breath and pixie dust.

O'Donnell made this and other profoundly stupid comments on the daytime talk show "The View," ABC's update of the ancient practice of women chattering around the village well.

The former "queen of nice" seems to think that the show is the perfect venue to audition as grand marshal for the next tinfoil hat parade. And if you visit O'Donnell's website (www.rosie.com), you'll find her application's supporting materials: all sorts of unadulterated moonbattery presented in the Esperanto of global derangement — a form of instant-message-style free verse. For example, she writes about the British sailors held prisoner in Iran:

the british did it on purpose

into iranian waters

as

US MILITARY BUILD UP ON

THE IRANIAN BORDER

we will be in iran

before summer

as planned

come on people

u have 2 c

i know u can

You may be unfamiliar with such psych-ward stylings, but I get e-mail written like this all the time. Perhaps if you believe the jackbooted thugs are at your door, it's reasonable to think you don't have time to spell out your words.

Once, long ago, she was a decent comedienne. I’m glad I’ve never watched her out of that context except for a few grueling seconds when accidentally landing on The View. I heard she was such a rabid anti-gun nut on her show that she even pissed off Bernadette Peters.

I now have a new term: the O’Donnel Democrats

O'Donnell Democrats. South Park Republicans. I think that shows the attitudes of many in the respective parties. Mindless paranoid blather vs. intelligent scathing satire.

Well Sears was better. They didn’t deny & lie as Pier 1 Imports seemed to. Sears main number is 800 549-4505. Ask for customer relations dept. It took me a little while to get it but I did & I called them. I told them my point & that there would be a huge boycott of Sears & Kmart stores. I told them that as long as that kook was spewing lies about the WTC and ‘her views” about terrorists I could not support buying products from them. I think everyone ought to call. Darn it I buy from Sears & Kmart....I am going to make my husband so happy with all the money I am saving.

“the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel.”

Maybe she ‘thinks’ the conflagration of 10,000 gallons of jet fuel is comparable to a zippo lighting a cigar?

Seriously, she must be swallowing and regurgitating the ramblings of some burned out hippie guru.

Has anyone in the MSM called O’Donnell on this steel-doesn’t-melt comment, as they surely would have if it had been made by a prominent conservative? If Bush had said that, it would be all over the late night talk shows.

O’Reilly correctly observed the contrast between the coverage Coulter’s comment received vs. this episode.

Bill doesn’t quite have the erudition of J. Goldberg. Bill O'Reilly doesn't have quite the erudition of a glazed doughnut What is the appeal of O'Reilly?

If Rosie ever learns how to read other than comic books, she should check out the Popular Mechanic’s book “Debunking 9/11 Myths,” which systematically and (a new concept to the Algores and Rosie O’Dumbells of the world) SCIENTIFICALLY explains the tin-foil hat crowd’s theories.

It’s funny that the Publisher of PM became a member of the “Illumati” cabal shortly after publishing their findings last year. Before that, he was just a magazine guy.

Ellen DeGeneres is very funny. Very quick.

Her past problem wasn’t being gay, but shoving her gayness down everyone’s throat.

And she appears to be a very decent individual.

I think her past problem was the fact she was hooked up with that kooky Anne Heche.

If she hadn’t stumbled upon her she may have skipped right past that difficult time in her career.

According to the rebuttal Popular Mechanics published in response to Rosie’s blathering, there was a major NYC disaster command and communications center in WTC7, so they had some pretty hefty on-site generating capabilities to support that. There were several fuel tanks in the building, including two 6,000 gallon fuel tanks in the basement.

Here’s the link:
