Rosie O'Donnell returns to the media today, but in quite a step down the media ladder from national TV prominence -- with a daily two-hour show on XM and Sirius satellite radio she'll host from her Nyack, New York home. “Rosie Radio is a radio show that is compelling, intriguing, unpredictable, and thought-provoking,” the radio service proclaims of the program which will air three times a day on the “XM Sirius Stars” channel (XM 155 and Sirius 102) which also carries shows hosted by Barbara Walters, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, Depak Chopra, Judith Regan and Bill Bradley.
O'Donnell's as angry as ever, offering up this vitriol, in the guise of praising President Obama for earning the Nobel Peace Prize, in an interview with USA Today published last week: “But the fact of the matter is, the world stood up in unison and gratitude and said, thank you, perhaps the beacon of light and hope that America has been for 200 years is once again lit. It was diminished criminally by the last administration.”
Sirius/XM, nonetheless, promises: “Rosie Radio features Rosie's trademark wit, wisdom and straightforward take and outlook on life. Broadcasting from a custom-built home studio near her kids and her crafts, Rosie invites SIRIUS XM listeners from across the country to pull up a chair next to her to hear what's on her mind, and to tell her what's on theirs.” How cozy.
The show will run from 10 AM to noon EST weekdays, with re-runs at noon and 8 PM EST.
When she departed ABC's The View two years ago, the MRC compiled “The Full Rosie: Daytime Host’s Long Record of Mean-Spirited Left-Wing Ravings,” with ten videos. From the introduction:
As co-host of ABC’s The View during the 2006-07 television season, Rosie O’Donnell used her daytime perch to push an array of extreme left-wing and anti-American views. Soon after her debut in September 2006, O’Donnell used the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks to insist that "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam." In a similar vein, she advised her audience: "Don’t fear the terrorists. They’re mothers and fathers," while suggesting that "the Patriot Act has robbed us of us our civil liberties in this country, that fear has taken over from faith in democracy, in the Constitution" In March, O’Donnell even suggested that the government was hiding the truth of 9/11 attacks, arguing: "Miraculously, for the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible."

"compelling, intriguing, unpredictable, and thought-provoking"
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 02:14 ET by konoThought-provoking, indeed. Most listeners will be thinking, "This show sucks."
Great write-up, Brent.
Steel melted by fire---
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 03:08 ET by matthewdeanFirst time I ever saw O'Donnell, she was funnier'n hell.
Her statement about it being impossible for fire to melt steel, without her waving any attendant degrees in either engineering or metallurgy about, coupled with a few other random splatterings of her shotgun mouth, made me realize that over the ensuing years, Rosie has become crazier'n hell.

I think I'll leave it on display... It's not too often I screw up that bad. thankfully...

Rosie O’Donnell "When
Tue, 11/03/2009 - 00:49 ET by MikeBRosie O’Donnell "When she was 18, she dropped out of college and went on to do shows like "Gimme a Break!"" … "Dropped out of Boston University after 1 year. Dropped out of Dickinson College, Carlisle,PA." (imdb.com)
Matt, why does she need a degree in engineering or metallurgy? She has dropped out of at least two colleges. She is an actress! She is a celebrity! She has her own show! She must be paid attention to because her opinion counts.

Scary, ain't it, how much credibility seems to magically attach to one who wears the "celebrity" mantle?
It is easy enough to dismiss the bestowers of said credibility, but it is very difficult to forget the fact that most of these a** munchers vote Lib/Dem.

Uh, Yeah.
"Don’t fear the terrorists. They’re mothers and fathers,"
Was that her trademark wit, or her trademark wisdom ?
I can't think of a more
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 05:47 ET by kefkaI can't think of a more predictable, less thought provoking person than this leftist 'celebrity.'
Then...
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 06:00 ET by heldmyw...You haven't seen The View!
the ugly view
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 11:23 ET by konoAgreed. Whoofi Goldbrick's remarks are often uglier and more disgusting than Rosie O'Donut's; she just delivers them with more snide sarcasm than screaming rage.
I read somewhere I don't
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 05:54 ET by rockyracoonI read somewhere I don't remember where, that rotund rosie was legally separated from her "wife," and that said "wife" took off with one of the kids. So I suppose rotund rosie will have to keep working in order to make future child support & alimony payments. Hey she wanted to get "married." If true, could this be a great example of the law of unintended consequences?! To quote Revrummm Wrong, er Wright, are her "chickens coming home to roost?" I was always told to be careful what you ask for.
Time will tell, and I'm glad I don't have a subscription to Sirrus radio.
Facts are like kryptonite to the liberal.

Mon, 11/02/2009 - 06:28 ET by Jack BauerWell she has the face (and body) for radio.
The talent? Alas poor Rosie, I knew her and she's not so well. Mentally.
Track record
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 07:02 ET by TexndocShe's flopped with a self-titled magazine, talk-show, movie career, Broadway show, and "marriage" -- so radio was sure to follow.
she will fail
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 08:46 ET by Seashelland she will fail at that as well. Just hope that she put some money in the bank when she was actually making some.
Provokyo Rose.
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 07:07 ET by superconThat could be her new nick name. When your career has tanked as badly as hers she willl try to gain publicity by saying things outrageous. I find it hard to believe that there are people willing to pay to hear her open her big gizzard.

At least we won't have to be infected with daily doses of her Mad Cow disease or her Swine Flu!
Perfect co-host
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 07:55 ET by another_old_veteranShe would be perfect as a co-host with Ed Shultz.

The Reason!
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 09:10 ET by rightwingidiotFinally! A reason to get an XM radio! I've been waiting sooooo long for a reason to pay for radio service and it's finally here! Roise ODonnell. My Gawd! I just can't frigging believe it.
Uh, er, sorry about that. I was, uh, er, just joking about that Rosie radio thing. I wouldn't really pay to hear her spew. I wouldn't even not pay to hear her spew.
Now, what I would pay for, and trust me on this I really would, is if Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow and Rosie ODonnell were on the SAME radio show! Now that's something I would really, really pay to listen to. I mean, with those three on the same show for say 6 hours a day it wouldn't take maybe a week or two and, even if you are the most flaming of flaming conservatives, you would be like a total lib-tard. I mean with that kind of focused lib spew, how could you possibly resist becoming just like them???
Okay, fine, I lied again. I wouldnt pay to hear those 3 gang rape my mind. Then again, maybe....uh, no, couldn't take it.
That combination could possibly be the worst radio show evah. That is unless you are a total libtard already.
I've had Sirius Radio for
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 09:23 ET by ricklailI've had Sirius Radio for over 4 years. They raised their rates a few months ago. I am wondering if it was to pay for this. I will ask them to block this channel and don't charge me.
The biggest problem I ahve in dropping Sirius is that it is the only place where I can hear Mark Levine. The sports channels are OK with the exception of Mad Dog Sports which once was a good network but has gone downhil since broadcasting 60/20 sports with James Carvile and Luke Russert. They took off Andy Gresh at nights. They no long broadcast live programming from midnight to 6 AM.

There, you can dump Sirius, now.

If nothing else, if you happen to have this bankrupt entity playing in your car or office, you will at least not have to look at this sow as she, or it, bellows and honks about everything wrong in America.
Gee, maybe Rosie and Howard could team up?
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 10:49 ET by wnaegeleNow that would be ugly radio...
Sirius is where has-been's go to die
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 12:13 ET by TheLipSirius is just like msnbc it's where has-been's go to die. So people would not listen to her when it was free but they are going to pay money for the priviledge ? not.
Is this a picture of Rosie's pussy?

Or is it Rosie herself? It looks just like her! Look at the small picture at the top of this NB page.
Whale Songs Revisited
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 16:09 ET by DoktorFrankenI have enjoyed the hilarious and spot-on comments here about the beached whale we all love to hate. Rosie is such an easy, and huge, target for whatever nasty thing you can say. It usually applies to the likes of her and her ilk.
Can you imagine the extreme lack of intelligence of anyone who would hire, endorse, or defend her? Only in America, I guess.
JMHO, you understand.

Such a has been. Well,
Mon, 11/02/2009 - 18:03 ET by RR GOPSuch a has been.
Well, she's done it all to herself by her nastiness and over-the-top knee jerk Libtardism. Guess she hasn't figured out that her fellow Socialists don't listen to talk radio nor care much for the MSM anyway?
On satellite radio, like Bill Maher on HBO, the overall subscription revenue will float her if the PTB decide to keep her as a token Lib.

NUTS!!!
Tue, 11/03/2009 - 13:59 ET by Secret ConservativeThis woman really is certifiably nuts! I wonder when this radio gig fails, will she finally go away for good? She needs to be locked up for her own protection. Who would hire this nutcase?
