You're right!
Fat, drunk, ugly amd stupid is no way to go through life.
Yup, but I didn't want to slander the flounder. She's more of a grouper.

Rosie O'Donnell has fought her last fight at "The View." ABC said Friday she asked for, and received, an early exit from her contract at the daytime chatfest following her angry confrontation with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday. She was due to leave in mid-June.
It ended a colorful eight-month tenure for O'Donnell that lifted the show's ratings but no doubt caused heartburn for show creator Barbara Walters. O'Donnell feuded with Donald Trump and frequently had snippy exchanges with the more conservative Hasselbeck.
O'Donnell said last month she would be leaving because she could not agree to a new contract with ABC executives.
"Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at `The View,'" Walters said. "I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."
In a statement, O'Donnell said that "it's been an amazing year and I love all three women."
No one was feeling the love on Wednesday, when the argument with Hasselbeck began over O'Donnell's statement last week about the war: "655,000 Iraqi civilians have died. Who are the terrorists?"
Talk show critics accused O'Donnell of calling U.S. troops terrorists. She called Hasselbeck "cowardly" for not saying anything in response to the critics.
"Do not call me a coward, because No. 1, I sit here every single day, open my heart and tell people what I believe," Hasselbeck retorted, and their riveting exchange continued despite failed attempts by their co-hosts to cut to a commercial.
According to a New York Post report, O'Donnell's chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly led out of the building on Wednesday after she was caught drawing mustaches on photographs of Hasselbeck in "The View" studios. ABC executives didn't return repeated calls for questions on the incident Friday.
On Thursday O'Donnell had asked for a day off to celebrate her partner's birthday. "The View" aired a taped show on Friday.
On her Web site, O'Donnell posted a scrapbooklike video on Friday with pictures and news clippings of her tenure at "The View." Cyndi Lauper's "Sisters of Babylon" played in the background.
A day earlier, she posted messages on her Web site indicating she might not be back.
"When painting there is a point u must step away from the canvas as the work is done," she wrote. "Any more would take away."
Farewell, Pigface!

You bring up a valid point, she is rude. You can have liberal viewpoints, or opinions I don’t agree with but does she have to be so nasty about it?
Rosie must have a clause in her contract that forbids Walters from saying anything negative about her.
And I hope the screen door did hit her on the way out!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Separated At Birth... oh yes, Hugh...don't let the door hit your fanny on the way out.
O’Donnell is really Walters’ ID (like the thing in Forbidden Planet),
“she has generously volunteered as to help guide the stranded whales out of the Sacramento River”
Now that was funny - Thanks for the Friday laugh!
Sadly Rosie will not fade into nothingness
Wah, wah, wah. I’m taking my ball and donuts and going home.
Selling advertising time isn't all that good these days and the network biggies don't want to get involved in sponsor pressure or consumer boycotts just for this lesbian lard zeppelin.
Moreover, Barbara Walters doesn't want to end her long career as a producer, reporter, interviewer, etc. being remembered as a willing enabler of a deranged loose cannon who's futzing up her show.
No, Rosie just kept pushing the envelope and it finally dropped over the edge. In my opinion, she's now radioactive in the biz and will never get a gig again with quite the cachet, exposure and platform of "The View".

Good one!!
Wanna bet she gets booked on all the morning shows, plus Letterman, Leno, Jon Stewart. She’s not going to disappear, nosireee.
Me thinks Elizabeth isn’t all THAT innocent and sweet. I’ve listened to her more than a few times....and um...well...ok I was watching with great interest as well...anyway...she’s a very bright young woman. She presents herself well, she is clean, she is articulate...(where have we heard this before...hmmm).
I do not believe for a moment that she is an intellectual light weight. I do believe that she is choosy about when and where she decides to stand and deliver...but as we saw with Rosie Osama O’Donnell, she’s darned effective when she does.
Very photogenic!!!
Good riddance. I still think Elizabeth is a light weight though. She should have said Yes, Rosie I think you think our troops are terrorists. How else to explain Rosie’s comment about how many Iraqi’s are dead. Trump said Elizabeth is the dumbest person on television. I wouldn’t go that far.....
Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let’s open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong’ the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!
Hillary has charm?!?
I hope they told her not to let the door hit her in the a$$ on the way out ‘cuz they could really lose a door that way.
