Rosie Has Left The View
Ellemeno:
Wait a minute, after watching that first clip, to me the earth-shaking thing is that Joy Behar read her list out loud on American TV.
Shasta542:
Rosie is really pleasant as long as everyone agrees with her. Then, when she can't bully someone into seeing things her way, she quits. She's on a show where 2 of the 5 mostly agree with her, 1 (Barb) either remains neutral or does damage control, and then the 1 poor little conservative dared stand her own ground and Rosie couldn't take the heat.
If she wanted to be clear on who she was referring to as terrorists, she should have spit it out---it's not up to Elisabeth to translate for Rosie. I would have rather Rosie finished out her 3 weeks instead of trashing her dressing room, having her friend/agent draw a moustache on Elisabeth's picture, and leaving in a big pouty huff.

Last time I tried to watch those videos I couldn't get them to work, so I finally just watched them now, and I agree, Shasta.
I like Rosie, think she's hilarious and entertaining, and have defended her all along. And my political views match hers, not Elizabeth's.
But in this argument, I sided with Elizabeth. It didn't sound to me like she was betraying Rosie but, as she said, giving Rosie a chance to speak for herself. Rosie's behavior was bullying and childish.
And note to Donald Trump: Elizabeth the dumbest person on TV? You've got to be kidding. She's no Einstein, but there are FAR dumber people on TV than Elizabeth.
injest:
I saw a piece on the news about Rosie at a concert talking bad about "heteros" and how they can't be trusted...
that is wrong. I know straight people have picked on gay people but it is wrong to make prejudiced comments....no matter who you are or who you are talking about...
delalluvia:
Rosie has issues, that's for sure.
I like Rosie, I like her humor, have defended her, but she can come across as both controlling and defensive.
Like Shasta said, Rosie has problems with people who don't see things her way and can't be brow-beat into seeing things her way. She doesn't respect other people's POV when she feels hers is the right POV. If other people start to defend their POV and start to dissect her stance, she feels like she's being attacked, hence her recent comment about being stabbed in the back.
Was she joking? :-\
