So That's Why Rosie O'Donnell Is So Batty

Photo of Ken Shepherd.

Notes the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

When she began taking antidepressants, O'Donnell, 44, said she began yoga and "inversion therapy," in which she hangs upside down by a swing for 15 to 30 minutes a day. She demonstrates it on "The View."

That doesn't explain Joy Behar, though.

UPDATE (3/8/2007| 10:06 EST): NewsBusters regular Jack Bauer has his take here. And while we're at it, I was hoping Fox News Channel "Red Eye" host Greg Gutfeld would have something snarky about this on his Daily Gut blog along the lines of what he said about Rosie on "The Big Story" yesterday. But alas, he hasn't. Even so, Daily Gut is a good read.

You mean like a bat, a moonbat?

If I wanted  more fair, accurate, and patriotic reporting than what our MSM has to offer, I'd just tune in to Al-Jazeera.

Yeah, that's what I was goi

Yeah, that's what I was going for with the batty headline.

In all seriousness, such deep depression is no laughing matter. But the inversion therapy sounds like quackery, and I hate to see anyone with real need of help for depression being duped into trying something that's not going to do a lick of good.

Well, at least she's on meds. Can't think of the alternative.

She needs to up the dosage, or change meds, as what she is now taking has completely destroyed her ability to do any critical thinking.

lol, that must be some heavy duty equipment.

I don't know. According to her latest comments on her blog, there may be something else involved besides moons and bats.

I would love to see her in a real debate with people who can stand their ground against her better then Hasselback. You saw what happened with Trump...She shut up like one of those kid's in school who suddenly realize that the kid they just bumped into is named bruce and has been in the fifth grade for 3 years.

I think Rosie will eventually self-distruct. It's a shame though cause I liked her stand up comedy back before she turned into broadzilla. I still hope she can get better physically. I think she might be able to see the light. I mean we are not morons, we are conservatives. Let's hope.

radiofitz34,

I would love for a famous homosexual to become a born-again believer and denounce homosexuality. That would be great. Amen! I would love for Rosie to be that person. A lil secret? I have seen the hurt in her eyes. hmm...I suppose that could just be gas...

I know this is off topic but, your statement reminded me of one of my favorite lines from Better Off Dead.

Actually, Gutfeld was on John

Actually, Gutfeld was on John Gibson's show this afternoon. He said that Rozilla would look like a big, fat lesbian vampire bat hanging there. Gibson looked shocked and then started laughing. My wife and I were both cracking up. It's about time somebody gave it back at her. He slammed her some more after that, it was all too sweet.

I saw that too, it was a riot

I saw that too, it was a riot! I also loved his comment about how she said her depression got worse after Columbine, so he said only a narcissist would take an event that didn't happen directly to her and turn it into being all about HER. Spot on!!

"My name is Count Roseula... velcome to my lair.

"inversion therapy," in which she hangs upside down by a swing for 15 to 30 minutes a day. She demonstrates it on "The View."

Oh dear, so she is frackin' nuts afters all.

The bat therapy is one of the funniest things I have heard in a LONG time. And Gutfeld has already provided the mental image

"a big, fat lesbian vampire bat hanging there."

"My name is Count Roseula... velcome to my lair. Let's hang together."

Seriously though, you want an example of how the celebrity lib***l mindset works, follow this thought process:

After Columbine she says:

"I couldn't stop crying. I stayed in my room. The lights were off. I couldn't get out of bed, and that's when I started taking medication."

You see the subtext here: an infamous, horendous crime, in which kids where murdered, has to be about HER.

We are supposed to feel sorry for HER because of an event that had nothing to do with HER.

It's all ME ME ME, FRACKIN' ME, with these self-obsessed narcissistic giant moonbats.

(Cultural note: remember the grossly funny Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo? Rob Schneider had the funniest gag when he used the same technique to hang from the ceiling, and destroy the fish tank? Hilarious.)

The answer is socialism. But only if the question is:

"What's the fastest way to impoverish, enslave and destroy people?"

Jack:

Yeah, I saw Gutfield on Gibson's show make that crack and I busted a gut too. Then I saw the SPI item later that evening and was wondering how common knowledge the item was. I didn't see anything on the Daily Gut, Gutfield's blog, about it.

rosie

Rosie and Joyless like most liberals are bullies, as long as no one stands up to them they can say what they want.

Its time for all good conservatives to go on the offensive to fight back, take no prisoners.

Gorbal warming is a sickness, not a science.

Rosie and Joyless like most liberals are bullies, as long as no one stands up to them they can say what they want.

That's true, and unfortunately, the token "conservative" on the show, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, is incapable of refuting them. I'd love to see a REAL conservative woman, like Michelle Malkin, or Mary Katherine Ham, on that show. Either one would wipe the floor with Rosie and Joy. But both those ladies have better things to do than waste their time with the View crew.

Rosie the Buffarilla

I feel sorry for Barbara Walters.  She looks so afraid of the ghastly bellowing heiffer that is Rosie. Every time I accidently scan past that channel when their show is on, Rosie is diatribing about something.  She has all the finesse and social skills of a bulldozer.

She's depressed because.... well, because she's Rosie. I'd be pretty sad about that, too.

Taking antidepressants is going to cost her dearly with her old "friend" Tom Cruise: "Rosie, you don't know the history of psychotherapy. I do!"

"hangs upside down by a swing ..."   ---  i guess "swing" is the politically correct way to say "crane"

hangs upside down by a swing

hangs upside down by a swing for 15 to 30 minutes a day

Well, I guess that explains Rosie's cranial/anal inversion.

So she does hang upside down.

So she does hang upside down. You just wait till my wife gets home. She yelled at me the other day, for calling her a BAT. Boy does she owe me a BIG you were right I was wrong!!  ROFLMAO just to funny. THE BAT!!!!!! P.S. at least she is to FAT to get in our attics through the small cracks.

Rosie appeared on The O'Reill

Rosie appeared on The O'Reilly Factor on March 25th, 2002.  She discussed becoming depressed after Columbine and going on anti-depressants then, failed to disuss inversion therapy. I think I know why. At the end of the segment she says appearing on O'Reilly made her so nervous she had diarrhea for two days.  Picture THAT while she's hanging upside down.  It would have proven that she truly is batsh*t crazy.

**fun bonus** During the segment she refers to Giuliani as a fascist and agreed that Hillary's ambition and lust for power over road her dignity...keeping in mind that this is almost 5 years ago....
