Rosie O’Donnell Is Leaving The View
Rosie O’Donnell’s stormy tenure on the television talk show The View will be a short one. The opinionated host couldn’t agree on a contract with ABC network, and she’ll leave the show in June.”My needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me,” O’Donnell said in a statement Wednesday.wouldn’t have traded for the world.”
O’Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show created by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump that placed Walters squarely in the middle.
”I induced Rosie to come back to television on The View even for just one year,” Walters said. “She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year.”
Walters was frequently left to clean up the damage after O’Donnell. She did it most recently Monday, when O’Donnell was criticized for using bad language and attacking Rupert Murdoch from the dais of the annual New York Women in Communication awards luncheon.
”I would like to point out that Rosie’s view is not always mine,” Walters said. “I would like to say for the record that I am very fond of Rupert Murdoch.”
In the Trump imbroglio, O’Donnell was reportedly mad that Walters did not come more swiftly to her defense, while Trump said Walters told him she didn’t want O’Donnell on the show — a claim Walters denied.

Noone wants that fat disgusting pig on their show. The other girl is pretty and sexy, Rosy couldn’t give a 12 year ole a hard on if she laced his kool aid with viagra.
Thats why she sucks clits. I wouldn’t even let Rosie give me a blowjob, she’s such a disgusting hawg.

First of all I want to say… Rosie, I think you are an amazing person and role model. You are unbelievably charitable, and your love for children is so commendable. We would be so lucky to have more people in this world like you.
As for The View, I am so sad to see you go. I truly enjoyed watching you. You and Joy both make me laugh out loud with some of your comments. It is true entertainment to watch the two of you. Though I do like Elizabeth … to a point, I too disagree with almost every political thing she says. However, everyone is entitled to their opinions.
Including the “# 3

Hey Tanya Lee,
suck me sideways you carpet munching crabtrap you.
First of all, 12 year old erections probably offend you because you’re a dyke. You think Rosie is a role model? To who? Dykes R Us? I’m glad I make you laugh. I bet I’d laugh at you if I could see the way the skin wrinkles on those fat hips and ass of yours. You know it’s true, go look at your big hips in the mirror you old lictalotopuss.
Rosie is a huge success. About 400 lbs of success, and I bet you’re right their with her you cow.

Rosie,
You are honest, kind and a great person. We all love you and we would NOT watch the view anymore. We miss watching you on TV. I wish at the end you pounched the stupid Elizabeth in the nose. Love you

I’m still appalled over the Clay Aiken incident. Clay Aiken has never said anything one way or the other about his sexual orientation; but if he is gay, she outed him. She came out of the closet in her own time, in her own way, but didn’t give him the same courtesy and consideration. Giving courtesy and consideration are just not part of the Rosie vernacular. I’m also annoyed that she thinks that Barbara or Elizabeth or anyone should come to her defense when she shoots off her mouth. If she can’t handle the fallout, she should learn to exercise her right to remain silent a little more often.

Doris you are a stupid, ignorant bitch. Anyone who endorses that lying, unpatriotic twat will burn in Hell with her. People like Rosie don’t deserve to live in this country. Get the Hell out!

Rosie, you fat, disgusting, pro-terrorist bitch. I hope you go bankrupt and lose weight because you can’t afford any more Mcdonalds. You are a role model to no one except fat, gay ladies across America. If you were to die, and the news was covering it, I would just change the channel. The only person with legitimate arguments on the View was the blonde chick. She was the only patriotic one. Rosie is just some fat bitch who doesn’t know about our government at all.
