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."
Replacing one Rosie with another isnt so bad. They could have gotten a really ugly replacement like Eleonor Clift.
Morning Talk Show Co-host, The View
Great hours! Competitive wage! No experience required. Must be fat, unattractive, obnoxious, with a big mouth and no semblance of class whatsoever.
(Conservatives need not apply)
I think that Theresa Heinz Kerry would be a much better selection, even though she is just a crude as both the jackass departing and the rumored jackass waiting in wings.
I highly doubt Roseanne has taken the “Dennis Miller route”. Her latest comedy DVD - Blonde and Bitchin’ - tackles hot issues of today - from gay marriage to President Bush. (Which I’m sure is just one bash to the next, if she’s like most ‘liberals’).

Hardly a conservative imo.
She made a good impression, and I’ll admit that I wasn’t prepared for that.
She was nice, pleasant, funny, and seemed well-balanced.
I remember thinking that I would like her in person.
I think comparing her to Rosie O’Donnell is very unfair.
I’ve never had any respect for Barbara Walters. In fact, I don’t have much respect for any “journalist” who’s gotten famous by hanging around people who are famous. That Barbara Walters is “trashy” comes as no surprise. She’s always struck me as vacuous, insipid, and cloying. Why should trashy be left out of the mix?
My hope is that there won’t be a next year for that show.
I saw Roseanne Barr on Bill Maher a while back. She was hideous towards all things GOP. She was calling for Bush’s impeachment.
She has the job in the bag. Sounds like she has all the credentials a major etwork needs.
Puke replaces diarrhea.

Barffalottadiahrea???
Big surprise...
If not for low class...Dims don’t have any class at all.
“And now the mellow sounds of Frank Zappa”
Zappa trivia: “Hey Mister! Wanna hear a new kinda song for a quarter?”
Not that I watch that travesty, but Roseann would be another disaster, although not as bad as Rosie. Stupidity is running rampant!
Is Walters seeking somebody fat and obnoxious?
Yeah...until one of her *other* personalities
comes to the fore...
From “worse” back to “bad” evidently.
Is it the water at ABC?????
Is Charlie Gibson the only one left who is somewhat sane????
I like Rosanne. Still watch her sit-com reruns. She IS funny. I think her IQ is at least 100 points higher than Rosie O’Donut.
Dweezel and Moon Unit.....LOL
