"Do as I say not as I do," says Rosie O’Donnell. One week she raises the global warming alarm, the next she reportedly demands a carbon burning clause in her contract. First, on appearing on Martha Stewart’s Halloween show on October 31 of course, Rosie the climatologist explained why she "knows" global warming is such a big problem.
ROSIE O’DONNELL: What do you think of global warming?
MARTHA STEWART: I think global warming is a real problem.
O’DONNELL: Yeah, you know how I know it is?
STEWART: Why?
O’DONNELL: Last week my kids were in the pool.
STEWART: Ugh!
O’DONNELL: Yeah, in October in New York.
On November 7, news broke that negotiations of a possible show on MSNBC failed. Reports surfaced that Rosie the environmentalist demanded a daily helicopter ride to the NBC studios. This is the same Rosie O’Donnell that demanded restrictions on gun owners, despite hiring armed guards herself.
The November 8 "Fox and Friends" covered the helicopter demand story, along with NBC News anchor emeritus Tom Brokaw refusing to comment on the near Rosie O’Donnell/MSNBC deal.
GRETCHEN CARLSON: Rosie O'Donnell, just 24 hours ago we thought she was going to have this new deal to do a show on MSNBC. But guess what? It appears, according to her own blog, that the deal is off before it even started.
GREG KELLY: The deal is off, but at least they gave us the entertaining notion that she might be helicoptered to work. Actually, the reports were that she was insisting on a helicopter ride to NBC headquarters to do the show, a prime time show, which would have been the perk of the century. Only the president, as far as I know, gets this into his contract with the American people. I mean, it's okay for him to have a helicopter, but a little extreme for a talk show host.
BRIAN KILMEADE: Yeah, that she said that she blew it herself for bringing it up from Miami. But there's just no logic there. For example, if you have Rosie O'Donnell, you do it for ratings. You don't do it for credibility and, you know, carte blanche in the industry. So if you have people talk about it, if you have people interested, if you have people tuning in, doesn't that, isn't that the reason you hired her to begin with?
KELLY: So there's a story behind this too.
CARLSON: Yeah, I don't, I don't think that, that this deal is suddenly cut off because-
KELLY: You don't believe her blog?
CARLSON: -because of compensation issues. Yes, I do believe her blog that the deal has been cut off, potentially, but not because of compensation. Maybe it had something to do with these gentlemen and women who have worked at NBC, because, you know, maybe they didn't necessarily want her to become the face of a news organization.
KILMEADE: Well, that's the indication I got yesterday, because Brian and the Judge, yesterday, Tom Brokaw joined us to talk about his book, and we seguewayed into one of the NBC executives saying that MSNBC has moved left. And I asked him if you were surprised. He said yes. I said, "what about Rosie O'Donnell at nine o'clock?" No comment. I asked him three or four different ways, he would not comment. That isn't the pat on the back that you would expect from somebody who wants to see MSNBC to be successful.

Thu, 11/08/2007 - 19:44 ET by MikeBEd, I don't think even that one would have enough lifting power to transport Rosie.

Brilliant Rosie.
You know how I know it
Thu, 11/08/2007 - 16:51 ET by ckc1227You know how I know it isn't a real problem? Because Rosie's kids WERE in the pool in October. That doesn't sound like a problem to me.
Still, if Rosie thinks swimming in October is a big problem, why did she allow her children to do it?

That does not prove global warming, that proves dumb kids/
parents.
Well leave it to Rosie to really nail that global warming
thing.
So with that reasoning today’s high was 55 tonight’s low is 37.
In downtown New Bern NC
The average for this time of the year is: 66 high low 44.
OH MY GOD! ITS GLOBAL COOLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can anyone make that much money and be that dam stupid!
The things that come out of her mouth is nothing short of what someone that has
a learning disability would say.
I would be embarrassed just to be on stage with her.

Thu, 11/08/2007 - 17:31 ET by USA4freedomI would bet that an Orca was swimming in the pool just
before the kids got in and it was nice and warm.
A little yellowish tint, but warm..
The Orca had to get out because the kids could not fit,
after all its “only” an Olympic size pool..

Thu, 11/08/2007 - 17:48 ET by ckc1227Hey, USA, I'm about 40 miles west of you in Kinston, and I'm not looking forward to the coming global cooling. I can't wait til global warming returns. Or, as it's known by the sane among us, Spring time.

Thu, 11/08/2007 - 20:22 ET by viluzionThe disgusting part is that she is allowed to adopt children. Girls I would assume. What's next, letting Michael Jackson adopt little boys?
Bet That Pool is Heated!
Thu, 11/08/2007 - 19:27 ET by JeffTime for a little investigative journalism: how ironic it would be for that pool to be artificially heated.
...either we get our heads together about this war, or our enemies will surely separate them for us...
Hey, Rosie! Do you know
Thu, 11/08/2007 - 19:43 ET by MikeBHey, Rosie! Do you know how I know that global cooling is real and entering crisis mode? Because 2, maybe 3 years ago, we had a day in August with a high of 64! A high of 64 in Oklahoma in August! Look out for the glaciers! My claim of global cooling for this one event is just as silly as your claim for global warming for your event.
Do we need to go into the fact that the climate has been on a warming trend since the end of the little ice age? Or, indeed, since the end of the last bona fide ice age? Should we discuss natural, decades long variation in temperature trends? Should we discuss all the climatologists, archeologists, paleoclimatologists, physicists, etc., all with more scientific and mathematical background than you have, who are skeptics of manmade global warming.
Rosie, you need to go back to your cave and hang upside down for a while. Apparently, when you attempt to walk upright all the blood drains from your head and you start to spout stupidity.

Hey, she's not a hypocrite. That fuel would have transported TWO people - her and the pilot.
So there. Bet you all feel silly now.
Not even Igor Sikorsky and Jules Verne combined...
Thu, 11/08/2007 - 20:31 ET by Dave R...could devise a helicopter with the lifting power required to get that bloated waste-of-oxygen off the ground.

Thu, 11/08/2007 - 21:42 ET by lunaticcringeradioi live in phoenix and i haven't been in the pool since late august because i think it's too cold. but lemme take a wild stab that a fancy person like rosie has a pool heater because anyone who can afford a pool like a celebrity will more often than not have the extra add ons like a pool heater installed that in this day isn't really all that uncommon. and how can i talk on such a matter with such authority, well my boss also owns a pool building and resurfacing company too, that evil nasty greedy selfish capitolist conservative, i love my boss.
more bs the sky is falling socialist boogeyman scare tactic playing on peoples fears fairy tale of global warming. swiming in a pool in october in ney york means nothing if you have a pool heater, but it makes for a good story if you take advantage of peoples ignorance. actually i'd bet $100 that that pool has a heater because it saves having to dump the water in the winter it's such a standard install now. she's full of it.
