Rosie O'Donnell to be Replaced by Roseanne Barr on 'The View'?

Roseanne Barr went from a funny sitcom star to a pariah with one horrible National Anthem' rendition where she grabbed her crotch and spat after butchering the Star-Spangled Banner in San Diego. Rosie O'Donnell went from the 'queen of nice' to the 'queen of mean' by hosting 'The View' shock jock style and blasting away at anyone and everyone that didn't agree with her politics. So - can one replace the other? Can Barbara Walters fading reputation take it?

Rosie O'Donnell to be Replaced by Roseanne Barr?

The New York Post has a report that Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace Rosie O'Donnell next year on "The View," sources tell the newspaper.

***

"She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny," said a source with knowledge of ABC's sudden and desperate search to find a new co-host to replace O'Donnell who quit the show last week. "They're missing strong personalities on that show, and that's what they're going to need if they want to keep it going," an ABC staffer close to the situation told the Post.

The paper notes that during an appearance on "Larry King" last week, Roseanne danced around the question of joining the "The View." "I'm not looking for the job," she said at one point - and joking at another, "Well, I want $10 million, like Rosie."

Roseanne Barr went from a funny sitcom star to a pariah with one horrible National Anthem' rendition where she grabbed her crotch and spat after butchering the Star-Spangled Banner in San Diego.

Her sitcom lasted another seven years after that incident so I don't know how much of a pariah she became.

You tell me there is not one decent looking normal sized intelligent woman in La-La land to replace the fat idiot pig moonbat Rosie ?

[Paleo Conservative]

So now Rosanne's fat arse will block The View.

[KoRn]

Is that position the ugly, ‘fat rowdy bitch’ slot or something?

[A CA Guy]

Single women tend to start off liberal in most cases, so Rosie has a built in audience with lots of single women and also lesbians IMO.

[A CA Guy]

Zappa was talented for sure.

[Petronski]

Aren’t they the same person?

[A CA Guy]

He sure had trouble naming children though.

[sono]

Will she sing the national anthem?

[trumandogz]

Somehow, I do not think lesbians accounted for the increase in the View’s Ratings.
