It appears Rosie O'Donnell has changed her tune about Sarah Palin being "Harriet Miers with a better ass" for the controversial comedienne now wants to have a beer with the Alaska governor.
Such news comes coincident with the release of some of the guests scheduled to appear on Rosie's upcoming program to be aired November 26 by NBC.
After all, what could possibly make your Thanksgiving better than watching a variety show hosted by a hate-mongering 9/11 Truther (promo embedded right with another below the fold)?
But before we get there, here's what the New York Daily News reported Friday concerning Rosie's new-found affection for John McCain's running mate:
"I'd like to have a beer with her," O'Donnell told Extra. "I'd like to meet her kids. She seems like a pretty nice woman. Although I have to say, I am thrilled her party did not win. [But] you got to give it to her for spunk."
So what could the lipstick pitbull and the outspoken comedienne possibly have in common? Rosie admits she's got a soft spot for Palin's tenacity and ambition.
"I think I probably would like her [Palin] if I met her. She had an amazing life for herself and her family in Alaska. Very successful. Before you knew it, she was the most famous person in the country."
Yikes. I'm not sure that's good news for Palin and her fans.
Yet, that wasn't the only dish concerning Rosie this week, for the former "View" co-host also released some details about her upcoming show as TV Squad reported:
The news today is that Rosie has booked Ne-Yo and Alanis Morissette to provide the musical portion of the program. The plans for the rest of the hour include a topical monologue, which Rosie should have no problem pulling off because she did one every day on her daytime talk show.
There are also going to be musical production numbers, a staple on The Carol Burnett Show, as well as comedy sketches. The press release from NBC promises that they will be hilarious. Hmm...maybe if Tina Fey were to show up with her Sarah Palin glasses?
Makes one wonder if Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow will be Rosie's guests in order to really spread some post-election, unified holiday cheer.
For those that can stand it, here's another promo:

Don't do it Sarah!
November 15, 2008 - 17:01 ET by BobAnthonyI don't know and cold care less if Barracuda drinks beer. But if she were to do that, O'Donnell would spike the brew with a knockout drug and then...well the visual is too gruesome!
For the record, I am NOT RECOGNIZING BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ODINGA AS

Poor Sarah
November 15, 2008 - 17:21 ET by jackie3I would like to meet Sarah too. Of course, I do have something in common with her. I too am a mother of a handicapped child. I also am pro-2nd amendment and at one point I wanted to be a reporter as well. (then the liberal media turned that dream off)
I wouldn't want to have a beer with her. I would much rather have my wits about me and a cup of coffee. Along with an intelligent conversation and how to bring special needs children into the government spotlight.
Rosie on the other hand is just plain creepy.
Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I'd advise against drinking anything Rosie offers, she would probably pee in it! Ewe.
Wishful Thinking Rosie
November 15, 2008 - 20:14 ET by timzankGovernor Palin won't be sitting down with Rosie soon or ever for that matter. It's just a way for Rosie to get in the headlines. The only guests she'll get on her show will be whack jobs and has-beens.
Go back home to your "wife", Rosie, stay home and teach your kids how to be loud mouthed misfits like you. What a poor excuse for a human being. Yechhhh

November 16, 2008 - 01:31 ET by TallTThe News Busters wote this:
"After all, what could possibly make your Thanksgiving better than watching a variety show hosted by a hate-mongering 9/11 Truther (promo embedded right with another below the fold)?"
Regardless of what a vile hack Rosie is,
Hannity and most other Republican/Conservative influential people haven't even clued in to the cover-up truth of 9/11-- can't even see the wisdom in exploring the obvious; i.e., the well-documented engineer studies of those controlled demolitions -- and NewsBusters reflects this short-sightedness by calling people looking for answers to it all,
"9/11 Truthers".
The video put together by pilots who compare flight 77's actual flight data video to the one contracted out by the 9/11 commission is brilliantly done and makes that particular Pentagon cover-up painfully and starkly clear.
The videos on the following site -- scroll down and on the right -- including the Flight 77 one ARE INCREDIBLE. Only a fool could deny what is to be learned there. Don't let the site name distract you. LOL

That is EXACTLY as intellectually stunted as Democrats are guilty of being when they label the people that KNOW what a carbon taxation scam (will the attendant increased control over industry) Global Warming hype really is, "DENIERS".
The average Conservative barely knows what a vile polluter diesel exhaust is! For example, one of Rush's favorite comments is, "Electric cars. . . who wants them!"
Green house gasses have of course nothing to do with REAL pollution, but Rush gets inspired when a good old boy with a big honking V-10 diesel calls in.
How disappointing!

November 30, 2008 - 12:11 ET by andophiroxiaUpon first glance it may seem magnanimous. However, with Rosie and her anger explosion that was unprovoked against Tom Selleck, you just kind of have to wonder what's going on.
Not worth your time, Sarah.
