Will There Be A Less Rosie View Sooner Than Expected? We Can Only Hope
Rosie got into a nasty fight with her co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck yesterday, in case you missed it. Rosie's a liberal, Elisabeth is the resident conservative. There was some issue regarding Rosie's "implication" that American troops are terrorists, and when Rosie was called out on it by media pundits she feels that Elisabeth didn't appropriately defend her — much lamenting and gnashing of teeth ensued. Then that hippie-vegan Alicia Silverstone came on and dissed Elisabeth and Rosie wrote some haikus on her website. Rosie won't be on today because her wife is celebrating her 40th birthday and they will be living it up like only (certain types of) lesbians know how: eating lots of cake. Here's all you need to see to get caught up. The Fight: The Diss: My Response: I don't watch The View. A bunch of yentas yapping and squawking sounds about as appealing as have an icepick shoved in my frontal lobe. Shrill women arguing about politics based on news sound-bites is the equivalent of my kid coming home and attempting to explain the origins of man after hearing another kid say "dinosaurs used to eat man" on the playground. It's uninformed and irritating. As is arguing with my child about why this information is inaccurate. Both groups are childish and have nary a clue, but at least my kid has the excuse of being a kid. Which if you think about it, is a pretty good excuse. Oh, and Alicia Silverstone has no manners. Anyway, Rosie's a large and unappealing loud mouth who seems to fight with anyone whose opinion differs from her own. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a pint-sized pipsqueak, who when confronted by someone as overwhelmingly oppressive as Rosie, gets completely flustered and loses her composure. Never fun to see. Now with that fight causing a rift between them, and based on Rosie's haikus, there's now speculation that Rosie will not finish out the remaining three weeks on her contract before she departs from the show. I know gays love Rosie, and liberals and probably androgynous women, but whenever I see her she makes me want to run in the opposite director and shut down all of my sense receptors. She was much more palatable before she ate her way out of the closet. She is at best, anti-peristaltic. So what is my point? I'm really not sure except less Rosie is probably a good thing. And it's not 'cuz she's gay. Gay is fine, vomitus not so much.
