Chicago Sun Times ^ | February 3, 2012

Last month, the program moved out of Oprah’s spacious former studio and started taping in a smaller, more intimate space reminiscent of a living room. Parts of “The Rosie Show” have been axed, such as the game show segment and having a band perform on the set.

“The Rosie Show” has struggled to capture a sizeable audience. Shortly after the program’s October debut, viewer numbers have hovered around 200,000.

I wish you meat head Freepers would grab a crying towel, a box of bon-bon's, a beer, and park your right wing a$$es in front of the boob tube ... and then listen intently for hours to my insanely stupid libtard rants about the wonders of a homosexual lifestyle and the wisdom of Obozo ... cause I desperately need my bigger dressing room back ... I mean, have you evil idiots ever tried to stuff ten pounds of hog into a five pound sausage casing?

That move could explain the 2 tank trucks of Wesson Oil heading into downtown Chicago.

She should lose 30+ pounds.

Might make it easier to find furniture for her fat azz to land on.

She needs to stick to her core fields of expertise such as metallurgy.

funny

Rosie appears to be that 1%er ruthlessly firing (a al Romney) some 99%ers to ensure that the huge income gap between the groups continues to grow. Hypocrite.

Maybe Obozo will mandate we all watch the show. Hey, maybe he can fit it into the next 2000 page bill. It will be for the children after all. If you disagree, then you hate children. Children hater!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics can adjust these figures to make sure that all 30 of these former employees are counted and taken care of by BIG gubmint. This shouldn’t hurt Barry’s new “boomin’ economy” numbers or his chances to be a two termer.

Just goes to prove that fat, gross, and stupid is no way to go through life.

Fully realizing that Rosie O'Donnell and Roseanne Arnold Barr are two separate people, it's a distinction with very little difference.
