She is the epitome of the face of the modern democrat party.

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."
Door/Backside!
Great job Elisabeth!!
Pray for W and Our Troops
If Rosie has been hinting, then what happened on the View is a complete set up to make her look like the victim. Watch Rosie release a statement saying she could no longer work in an environment where her opinions are scrutinized. Too predictable.
O’Donnellcrat:
- Any lefty whose knowledge is like the Snake River - a mile wide but an inch deep. Subjects to debate wth said knowledge include 9/11, the Iraq War, the War on Terror, environmentalism, the homosexual agenda, the Kennedy assassination, drugs, taxes, etc.
- Any lefty whose primary debating tools are ridicule, anger, volume, name-calling, meaningless audience-applause lines, and evading direct questions.
- Any lefty who craves attention like oxygen and will stoop to almost any level to get it.
- Any so-called actor, comedian or writer with no discernible talent and/or whose publicity far outstrips their achievements.
- Any lefty who bandies around words and images related to Hitler and the Third Reich (especially with respect to the Bush Administration) while being intentionally or unintentionally ignorant of the fact that the Nazis were socialists (i.e., also lefties).
They'll always have Southern California car chases to show.
Yeah, just like the Democrat presidential candidates who are afraid of Fox News.
The article also mentioned that Alicia Silverstone “snubbed” Mrs. Hasselback. I thought libs were tolerant and understanding of differing viewpoints.

Do you think they will hire that kid toucher? I do think it would be in keeping with Rosie's style - Paula is a screaming leftist and gay mom. But, given her legal history would it not be the final nail in the coffin for the show?
Thanks for that one, Keith.
Good effing riddance...
I bet Rosie’s henchman writer told Silverstone to do it. I bet the audience dynamic of that show changes drastically now that Rosie’s minions will not be there.
“I’ve never seen the show but would love to know what the exchange consisted of?”

Big, fat sissy!
She is the epitome of the face of the modern democrat party.
I believe it was after she came "out" that she started to morph into this unpleasant creature. She made negative comments about Guilliani and Bush often, but not laced with the hysteria she does now, though after 9-11, she admitted that she was comforted by President Bush and even cried when he threw the first pitch at the Yankees first game after 9-11. Her show ended not long after her "coming out", and she kind of laid low for a while. She burst back into the headlines and started to get into nuclear derangement territory when President Bush announced his support for the Marriage Amendment.
So I guess, in a nutshell, with Rosie, the bottom line is...it's all about sex.
Ewwww.
...an enourmous screen door swings slowly shut.
Not suprised that Rosie quit 3 weeks before she was going to leave. She knew Elizabeth cleaned her clock(s) bigtime.
Buh-Bye Rosie! LOL
Rosie who won’t be back on what?
In your **rpet **nch*ng pervert dreams, **tch.
You're wanting them to hire Hillary?????
