Rosie O'Donnell Calls Hasselbeck 'Little Republican Who Scared Me'

Rosie O'Donnell can't seem to get over her spat with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. As a featured guest on "The Martha Stewart Show" Tuesday, O'Donnell referred to her former co-host on "The View" as "a little Republican who scared me." Here's how the conversation went: Rosie: "I haven’t worked since 2002. Aside from 'The View' ... Let’s not mention it. Anyway ..." Martha: "You did really well on 'The View.'" Rosie: "I tried my best but it’s hard for me when I’m not the boss. There was people there telling me what to do. There was a little Republican who scared me." Last year, Hasselbeck said she tried to keep her cool during her on-air spat with O'Donnell, in which a political discussion over the war in Iraq became heated when an angry O'Donnell decried Hasselbeck for not standing up for her when media outlets suggested that she'd called U.S. troops "terrorists" during a previous debate. "I almost had the same feeling in me as when I had a championship (softball) game and I was up to bat and the pressure was on," the 30-year-old co-host told Pregnancy magazine. "I'm very lucky that tears didn't come out. But unfortunately when a woman cries, it's never seen as a sign of strength and never seen in a positive light."

Why would a big bull like Rosie be scared of that little woman?

Because Elisabeth is a Republican. Republicans are meanies.

Holy fun bags Batman! - They're real, and they're spectacular!

Seriously though, Rosie O illustrates the liberal mindset perfectly.

They are miserable, immature, illogical, hysterical, hypocritical and forever the "victim"

Rosie is vicious attack dog, yet goes and cries because someone stood up to her and her bullying tactics, and then she quit/was terminated from the show and then threw a temper tantrum and then vandalized her dressing room.

Rosie is the perfect poster child for the left.

Elisabeth is smart and beautiful and she didn't lose her composure and become a shrill, hysterical mess like Rosie O did.

From the outset Rosie wasn’t destined to remain on The View for long. As has been pointed out on this thread many times, she’s a bully who always wants to be in charge.

I know from first-hand accounts from people who work at ABC that she bullied the stagehands and camera people and even pushed and shoved a couple of them around. Barbara Walters’ producer used to sit in the front row of each show, but Rosie said his presence bothered her and she wanted him GONE— so away he went to a control room far away from her VIEW.

To say nothing about her open hostility to Elisabeth... Rosie is one sick waste of protoplasm.

There’s class. Then there’s the average American. Then there’s liberals. Then there’s rabid pit bulls. And then there’s Rosie.

When I think of Rosie and Elizabeth, Phil Hartman's impersonation of Frank Sinatra comes to mind:

You don't scare me. I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool!
