Is Rosie Shooting for Poet Laureate at a Hillary Inaugural?

By Ken Shepherd | January 9, 2008 - 13:24 ET

Former "The View" co-host, 9/11 conspiracy theorist and left-wing warrior-poet Rosie O'Donnell set to verse her thoughts on Hillary's now-infamous tearing-up incident:

hilary showed her soft side
as the men sneered weak
women know
tears soothe the soul
cracks let in light

after years of illusion
we crave something real
a trickle of truth
falling down a powdered cheek
reminded me
what i know

carry on all
in peace
if possible

Keep writing, Ro. After all, Bill Clinton picked Maya Angelou for his inaugural.

She's a poet, too? Besides being a mediocre actor, a failed talk-show blowhard and an ignorant kool-aid drinking Leftist? She'd be perfect for the job!

Of course she's a

Of course she's a poet....she specializes in "free verse." Which means she takes a sentence, breaks it down into segments of two or three words and arranges them in a column.

Here's an example:

msnbc

one hour

live

following keith olbermann

we were close to a deal
almost done
i let it slip in miami
causing panic on the studio end

well
what can u do

2day there is no deal
poof
my career as a pundit is over
b4 it began

just as well
i figure
everything happens for a reason
bashert - as we say

and on we go

Profound, isn't it???

I wish someone would pay

I wish someone would pay attention to my meaningless, non-sensical mangling of the english language...

what goes on there
where no man treads
who could even muster
the courage

does any of this
make sense to u?

can I call this art
and get paid as a sage
if I enlist
the support of other nitwits?

where are my doritos?

snapping fingers

Isn't snapping fingers by unbathed liberals wearing black in darkened coffee houses the correct response to bad poetry?

If so then I can't do that here. Your's is truly funny.

When a liberal speaks, the truth is busy elsewhere.

WIJG....yours is definitely

WIJG....yours is definitely better than mine. She even admits she sucks, but hopes she can get paid for it anyway.

ROFL!

I, for one, don't think Rosie should be bringing up the subject of "cracks" ... on any level ... eh hemmm ....

Spelling Patrol

Dear Ro,

I know that you are a slob who doesn't care what your readers think of you. But for the sake of the children, could you learn that Mrs. Clinton's first name is spelled with two Ls. (Unless of course you were trying to go for "hilarity" and your Ho-Ho fell on your keyboard).

Sincerely,

You're Not Smarter Than A 5th Grader

I read a lot on line, and slack spelling really bugs me!

My job in the real world is transcription, and I am a stickler for spelling and grammar. I grit my teeth at your for you're, their for they're, to for too, and the tendency to use numbers and single letters of the alphabet. What's worse is that many online newspaper articles make the same glaring mistakes.

Rosie is the single most annoying celebutard on planet earth. To have her be the poet for the most annoying political couple in the universe would be too much.
