Rosie O'Donnell on MSNBC.
When you think about it, it makes a lot of sense.
After all, what could be better than three consecutive hours of leftwing invective starting with Chris Matthews, followed by Keith Olbermann, and ending with Rosie's ridiculous rants replete with repugnantly rude ruminations such as only she can regurgitate?
It's a liberal cable network's dream.
As reported by the New York Times Monday (emphasis added throughout, h/t NBer motherbelt):
Rosie O'Donnell, who abruptly left "The View" on ABC last spring after drawing attention and ratings for her opinions on everything from the Iraq war to her co-hosts, is in serious discussions to return to television atop a new soapbox: a prime-time show on the cable news channel MSNBC, according to executives on both sides of the negotiations who have been briefed directly.
Under one scenario, Ms. O'Donnell would be given the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of cable talk: "Larry King Live" on CNN and "Hannity & Colmes" on Fox News.
I don't know about you, but Rosie going head-to-head with Larry King and Sean Hannity is a visual I'd rather not consider so soon after supper. But I digest...er, I mean, digress:
Ms. O'Donnell alluded somewhat cryptically to a possible new job in a speech she gave at a book-signing on Sunday night in Miami, according to a report that appeared on a website, lyingonthebeach.com. A podcast on that site described Ms. O'Donnell as saying that she would soon begin competing against "the guy with the suspenders and the long, long face," an obvious reference to Mr. King.
I don't know. Given her weight and overall appearance, with Christmas approaching, maybe Rosie was referring to Santa Claus.
Or is that too much digressing?

Rosie!

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

A COUPLE THINGS...
November 6, 2007 - 13:56 ET by danybhoyI love the idea of Tokyo Rosie on MSNBC, drive those ratings into the ground. As a side note, I remember reading something where Microsoft bigshot(the MS in MSNBC, just for the record)Steve Balmer said if he knew then what he knows now, he would NEVER had gone in with NBC on a cable news channel.
Most news channels have a website, FoxNews, BBC, CBC, whoever, the joke is the MSNBC is the only website that has it's own news channel.

November 6, 2007 - 06:59 ET by motherbeltOMG, gat, all you you have to do is look at the posting above this one, with the photo of Oblermann, whose latest "Special Comment" called the Bush administration a "criminal conspiracy". Now imagine that, followed by Rosie (fire doesn't melt steel) the O.
They can change the name of the network to BDS Central.

November 6, 2007 - 06:16 ET by USA4freedomI am starting to have another take on the whole Keith
Olbermann, Rosie train wreck. I want more not less people to see these two
lunatics. The average American will look at these two pieces of human debris,
and will be disgusted.
Can you see some welder sitting down for dinner and hear
Rosie say in the back ground: “it’s the first time in history that fire has
melted steel”
I think their own words let people know who is the mind and
pockets of “their Democratic party”.
What is that line,: when your enemy is trying to kill
themselves get out of the way!
They are not going to convince any one except, the crazy
left, and they are.. well.. crazy!
Remember when the country thought that Rosie was just an
ugly, fat, smart, funny, (but nice) lesbian? Now they know. She is not funny or
nice or SMART. Just fat, ugly and yes (like a man would have her) (or any woman
if she was poor).. lesbian.

O'Donnell has proven time
November 6, 2007 - 12:26 ET by drillanwrO'Donnell has proven time and again that SHE CANNOT WORK WITH ANYONE !!!
Everyone is her fodder. She will make her dominating demands in regards to ANY possible show ... and at some point MSLSD will be unable to cave to her, and the deal WILL fall through.
Having said that, IF she manages to indeed get a show on MSLSD she will self-destruct, again, and leave in a huff of bile, just as she did Walters and ABC ... and THEY actually have ratings.
Unless I am mistaken, there already is a Comedy Central cable channel ... MSLSD seems to be seeking the Not-So-Funny Comedy Central with their floundering pinball heads.

November 6, 2007 - 13:02 ET by PSPCplMaybe it's because I am just a dumb cop, but can anyone explain to me why a supposedly profit oriented enterprise would hire someone as butt ugly as this woman is and who's personality is as appealing as a three day old dead fish on the beach in August?
The only good thing I can see coming of this is that PMSNBC will go the way of the dinosaurs and in much the same violent manner.

Flashed back to "Celebrity Blowup"
November 6, 2007 - 18:10 ET by GoldAngelAnyone remember the skit on the old "Second City TV" show---where the late John Candy and Joe Flaherty dressed as a couple of rednecks named Billy-Joe Bob used to have celebrities that were obnoxious and literally blew them up after they began to get on a rant? And after they blew them up they'd laugh and say "Boy howdy, they'd blowed up real good!"
That picture of the blowhard Rosie right there would have been perfect, don't you agree?
"May the Good Lord take a likin' to ya and blow you up real soon!"
Remember it well. My
November 6, 2007 - 18:47 ET by 4arrowRemember it well. My husband (who is quite ill) yesterday said to me "I miss John Candy!" and Joe Flaherty was/is just as funny. And what about 'Syd Dithers'? (Eugene Levy) Thanks for making me smile again G.A.
Yup, blows up real good!
You're welcome
November 6, 2007 - 18:55 ET by GoldAngelThose two had the funniest skits on that show---I especially remember the spoof of "Fantasy Island" where Flaherty was Mr. Roarke complete with a Ricardo Montalban accent and Candy was Tatoo---shrunk down and and rolling lewdly around gasping "Chicks boss, Chicks!" just like Herve Villichaze---I crack up just thinking about it.
Too funny. (Hope your husband feels better soon)
Let's not forget Andrea
November 6, 2007 - 21:53 ET by 4arrowLet's not forget Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara . These two were commediennes without being butch. It is harder for a woman to be funny but these two pulled it off while maintaining their femininity. Is this show seen in the U.S.?
ps. Thank you re hubby.
BTW When Ro dons a female dress, like QEI she acts like she is is drag. Eric Idle she is not.
