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."
Islamofascists hate and kill big fat lesbians. Yet she defends them!
That’s always been my point to the leftist . They will be the FIRST to get their heads cut off by Islam. They would at least respect me because I have a warrior heart and I’d spit in their faces as I have done all this time since 9/11 . They laught at people like Rosie who dont have the brains to even see who hates them the most . I say the same thing to Liberal American Jews .
Sadly, you are mistaken. Roger Ailes, who helped the Bush I campaign, is pro-amnesty and pro-Rudy. FoxSnooze continues to ignore the amnesty debate and Hannity will continue the Rudy love-fest. Maybe FoxSnooze should replace the American flag logo with a "Go Rudy" or "La Raza" poster.
Two TV shows and a magazine ruined by her hand....what a portfolio.
Meanwhile, Alicia Silverstone is looking for her next 15 minutes by snubbing Elisabeth.
I love Moonbats on Parade.
Alicia is a bigot.
If not for our 'terrorists' she'd be hoisted and swinging from a crane.
AAAAAAND a one and a two and a three:
DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!!!!
THE WITCH IS DEAD!!!!
THE WITCH IS DEAD!!!!
DING DONG THE BEEEEOOTH IS DEEEAD!!!
Down with Tokyo Rosie O'donutbutt!!!!!
WOW!!!
Wow. Rosie got destroyed.
Rosie asks- “who are the terrorists?”
Well Rosie- Who are?
ANSWER THE QUESTION!
Hasselbeck doesn’t really have a chance to get a word in edgewise with steamrosie running amok.
She is borderline meek, but I don’t think she’s dim at all. She just doesn’t have the personality to steamroller back at the opposition well.
I couldn’t agree more. I hope we will see a lot more of her.
Well, Tokyo Rosie, it is our Troops who are going into neighborhoods and moving extremist out. When extremist are in good neighborhoods, kids don't play in the street. But when our Troops are in good neighborhoods, we like it when kids are in the street because it generally means there is no immediate threat around.
Who is the peace keeper?
She would probably answer the extremist is because she thinks Christians are more dangerous then muslim extremist.
Got a good ring to it, fits in nicely with REALLY, REALLY ignorant.

Alicia converses politely later on in the interview, so big deal.
I agree that Trump is not an idiot, but I despise him and don’t follow much of what he does— unless, as with his “feud” with Rosie, it’s a media feeding frenzy and there’s no escape.
It could have begun with an off-the-cuff comment that Rosie made, but again I agree that it was entirely orchestrated after that.
I’ll check into the “View” split-screen deal and see what I can find out.
Excellent post... you said it much better than I could.
thanks Fudd
I believe this is called “cognitive dissonance”. On some level she must know that the Islamonazis hate her because of her sexuality and yet she promotes their agenda. She is like the gays who show up at the pro Pali demos not acknowledging that they would kill them if they had the chance.
I am a conservative American Jew who knows full well how much the Islamonazis hate liberals. I am in dispair over the stupidity of many of my correligionists. And don’t start me on the gays who go to pro terrorist demonstrations! They would kill them if they had the chance. And one day that just may happen!
