On Monday’s The View, co-host Rosie O’Donnell made light of a near-verbal mistake which may clue in to what she is thinking. In a nutshell: this is really MY show, with three sidekicks who chime in occasionally.

When opening a segment on fashion on a budget, O’Donnell stated "it is budget week here on The View. I almost said the Rosie O’Donnell Show [laughing]. That would have been a mistake!"

All dim-witted elitist leftists think every single thing in this whole world is all about them!

They prove that every single time the open their mouths and blather on.

Rosie O leads the way lately...give Shrillary the Shrillmeister time, she will catch up soon, just not need quite as much space!

LOL!

Rosie DOES think it's her show, with 3 supporting actors. I don't watch it, but I have seen some clips here and in other places. Rosie bulldozes everyone. She doesn't discuss, she lectures, with her hand up in a "Stop" attitude as if to say "just shut up and listen while I tell you what is what." When Elizabeth Hasselbeck dares to disagree, Rosie pats her on the arm condescendingly, as if Elizabeth were her doddering old aunt and she is saying "It's OK, you don't know any better." and then explains why Elizabeth is wrong.

Barbara Walters looks older, more tired, and more resigned (to Rosie taking over?) every time she is shown.

Now we know who Carly Simon might have had in mind for her big hit in regards to a very vain person.

I love that picture. She has the look of mistaking the cameraman for a double-burger 'cause she's woozy from not eating during the time it took to apply her makeup.

It's not the application that takes so long--grout has to dry overnight.

Ha ha ha The Rosie O'Donnell

Ha ha ha The Rosie O'Donnell show. Just kills her that she doesn't have a show with that title anymore, and that The View isn't all hers. She should consider herself lucky to even be on The View. And lucky that she hasn't been dismissed yet for her many unbelievably inane comments.

Of course it's all about her.

Of course it's all about her. Can't fit anyone else on the screen with her.

Rosie, start counting calories it might do you some good.

It appears that Rosie's ego is almost as big as she is. Have never watched the show and don't plan to in the future either. If this is the new entertainment, I am just to old fashioned to understand it.
