Returning to The View seven years after departing in an angry, liberal tirade, Rosie O'Donnell sat down with Barbara Walters and some of her former colleagues on Friday. Updating everyone on life since the show, she revealed that Parker, her now 18-year-old son, will be attending the Citadel. The 9/11 truther snapped, "...How do you annoy your left-wing liberal pacifist mother? You become a big military man." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
O'Donnell admitted she interrogated her son as to why he made such a decision and he responded, "Only in America, mom, could somebody like you who came from a horrible childhood, grow up and adopt kids like me who needed a family and I owe something to this country." In her typically loud tone, O'Donnell mock screamed, "No, my son. You owe something to me!"
Rosie O'Donnelll: My Son Joined the Military to 'Annoy' His 'Left-Wing,' Pacifist Mother'
The liberal entertainer's views about America might cause some awkwardness with her military son. In 2007, O'Donnell fumed, "I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?"
On numerous other View appearances, she famously promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories, hinting that even Rudy Giuliani may have been in on the plot.
During the "hot topics"segments on Friday, the hosts discussed the drug-related death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. According to O'Donnell, doing drugs is the same as cancer:
O'DONNELL: It's about time we stop shaming addicts and we understand that it's a disease. In the same way we would never yell at anyone. "Oh, my God. You have cancer. I cannot believe you. You are so morally corrupt. We shouldn't do that to drug addicts."
Journalist Walters introduced the comedienne by admitting, "...We had some bad times, but they were never boring."
Mostly O'Donnell steered clear of outright political issues. However, when recounting a heart surgery she had, the comic recounted:
O'DONNELL: And when they [the doctors] came back in, they said, do you want to be shocked back to life?...I said a sentence I never thought I would utter, I said, "doctor, I am adamantly pro-life."
The segment ended with Walters promising return appearances by O'Donnell.
A partial transcript of the February 7 segment is below:
O'DONNELL: Parker is 18. There he is in his military uniform. He's been accepted to the Citadel. He's very into the military because, you know, how do you annoy your left-wing liberal pacifist mother? You become a big military man. He's the number one cadet at his school, Valley Forge Military Academy. He's very interested. When he was really, you know, I said to him, "Why, honey? Why do you want to do --' He said, only in America, mom, could somebody like you who came from a horrible childhood, grow up and adopt kids like me who needed a family and I owe something to this country." And I said, "No, my son. You owe something to me."
What a piece of work. Nice to see she hasn’t changed much, except for all the ugly tats they covered up.
You can’t fool all the people all the time!
Well, at least that way she’s always sure someone is thinking of her. I seldom if ever do.
At least he will have a real family.
Actually, everyone should go out everyday and do something that would annoy Rosie O’Donnell. I would make the world a better place.
KARMA is a bi&*%
Whoopi’s posture. OMG
Wait a second. I thought that according to the leftwing, that children belong to all of us! Now she’s upset that he wants to do something for all of us?
A lot of good kids join the military to get out of crappy homes.
“No, my son. You owe something to me!”
The ugliness and egotism in this is beyond belief. This young man was never adopted into a family. He was picked up as a fashion accessory. I hope he has as much good fortune in finding a wife as he had bad fortune in finding a female(ish) guardian-monitor mother substitute.
Good for them
BTW, not a cheap school, I wonder if angry Rosie is supporting financially????
Geeze, Baba Wawa looks like Phil Spector, for crying out loud. That ugliess isn’t just below the surface any more.
There should be a law against having The View on TV if there is any man in the house. My wife and daughter used to watch it. I couldn’t stand it and would go somewhere else if it was on.
Whwn he volunteers for Jump School and Ranger School her attitude ought to be good. LOL
I’m curious as to why she sent him to a $40K a year military academy if she didn’t want him to become a soldier boy?
Sounds like genes trumped his environment.
