Has Rosie O'Donnell gone from being just another vociferous media liberal to a full-blown 9-11 conspiracy theorist? It would appear so. Have a look at Rosie's recent blog entry, wherein she serves up an array of controlled-demolition eccentricity. Turns out, according to O'Donnell, 9-11 was all a big plot to do away with FBI and other investigative files on Smith Barney, WorldCom and . . . Enron. What, no Halliburton?H/t reader M.R.
Writes Rosie:
For the third time in history fire brought down a steel building reducing it to rubble. Hold on folks here we go.
- The fires in WTC 7 were not evenly distributed, so a perfect collapse was impossible.
- Silverstein said to the fire department commander “the smartest thing to do is pull it.”
- Firefighters withdrawing from the area stated the building was going to “blow up”.
- The roof of WTC 7 visibly crumbled and the building collapsed perfectly into its footprint.
- Molten steel and partially evaporated steel members were found in the debris.
Rosie helpfully provided the conspiracy-monger's name: John Conner. Now we know why. She has apparently been reading, and buying into, his theories.
Will Barbara Walters at some point say "basta," or will she permit the descent of her show into utter absurdity?

typical Lib!
Thanks Mark Finkelstein
March 20, 2007 - 03:26 ET by SportPoliticsThanks Mark Finkelstein. The conspiracy kooks are a lot larger group than many imagine. It explains the massive hatred of GWB. It explains away the Clinton belief about Saddam having WMD, and puts it all in a tight nutshell for all the shrieking and whining that Bush lied, sexed up the intel, had the plot to attack Saddam all along, and all the rest of the blathering about the Patriot Act, Bush declaring Marshal Law and remaining in power, Islamic fundamentalism not being a threat, Halliburton theivery, destruction of all civil rights and all human rights, and Bush faux Christianity, and messianic apolocalysm.
It's half the democrat party, minimum. Obviously, most of them are afraid to say it.
When they act insane, say insane things, have zero logic and constantly contradict themselves and behave as the ultimate hypocrits openly, it is clear something else has a hold of their faculties. Bush did 911 is the foaming spew that ties it all together,and makes it all ok and make sense to them and excuse all their behavior, all at once.
You can easily see that once Bush is offically exposed, everything they ever said will be a 100% correct I told you so. That's what they're banking on. That's what they believe.
(Bush even blocked the release of 20 year old or whatever presidential information - in order to protect his plot decades out ahead of him...) ,so if the lib dies before it all comes out, they are still correct.

March 20, 2007 - 03:40 ET by SportPoliticszhombre I thought the plot was that Rummy would break out his secretly stolen crowd control military microwave machine (companion piece to Rove's weather machine), and toastie fry Rosie with the invisible ray on The View. Of course the news feed agents would be ready with the 'ol spontaneous combustion line, hinting at the sinful life, igniting the desired speculation on where she went, and the shadow agents would come in and confiscate the tape.
I understand Rummy would set the ray dial to "liquid fat putrescence",so that's what would be on the floor in front of the screaming Behar when she slipped and fell face first into it. ( Rummy would have of course reset the ray for "dizzy blond" and reaimed for the second Behar phase.)

March 19, 2007 - 21:11 ET by motherbeltRosie O'Donnell is just another Liberal talk show hostess who has become completely enamored with the sound of her own voice. She thinks just because she has a platform, she has something important to say.
Well, we as a country have only ourselves to blame. We turn our politicians into rock stars, and our entertainers into heroes who feel entitled to make pronouncements on all things. We treat them as if they have special wisdom and insight, simply because they are famous.
Who was the actress that appeared before Congress to testify about the plight of farmers? She got her authority from playing a farmer's wife in a movie! I think that was when Hollywood jumped the shark.

March 19, 2007 - 21:15 ET by Blondemb,
Jessica Lange?
Your point is perfect.
Why should we have an actual farmer's wife testify....when we can have an actress do it?
Which proves the point that Congress is all about show...rather than do.
A first grade class would beat them hands down in show and tell.
I am sick to death of this Congress, and their phony agenda...well, maybe it's not so phony...they've just unmasked it....GET ROVE. Sheesh.

March 19, 2007 - 22:22 ET by Del DolemonteUnless Rosie is a licensed civil engineer (and yes, they do have to be licensed, and take continuing education, etc) she has no idea what she is babbling about, especially about "Building 7" or whatever it was called.
In looking at the film of the collapse of the two towers on 9/11, it is easily discernible to even the casual observer that they didn't "pancake down" as pefectly as the 9/11 conspiracy androids claim. In fact, I saw huge chunks of debris shooting off to all sides, including in the direction of the dreaded mystery building.

March 19, 2007 - 22:31 ET by wmccarviI'm pretty sure she's just regurgitating facts from "Loose Change," one of those conspiracy theory movies trying to pin 9/11 on the government. The movie was made a guy planning to write a fictional story about a conspiracy, then changing his mind and deciding to spin it as truth. The producers of Loose Change and Rosie O'Donnel both fail to acknowledge that all of these so called facts were refuted by scientists at Popular Mechanics magazine.

It was supposed to fun to watch. This is so far outer space even I, the great exhalted Iguana guy can figure this out.
She's nuts!
It is supposed to be good to let these Liberals have their say because supposed rational people will see them for who they are, and I'm now beginning to wonder.
Jon Stewart, Rosie, even BaBa WaWa over Chavez.
The firing of Government Attorneys? The raking of Rove over a twit named Valarie? The attempt to drive the Iraq War into negative images when it clearly isn't nearly what people claim?
I suppose I should watch nothing but network TV to get the whole picture.
I thought at one time that people had learned that life isn't what one wants, life is simply what is.

March 19, 2007 - 23:24 ET by radiofitz34I get the impression that Rosie for some reason, is actually trying to get to herself in trouble on the View. Trying to follow in the footsteps of such luminaries as Madonna and Sinead O'Conner.
Such things continue to remind me of the movie "Network" which was released in the mid '70's. Amazing how prophetic that movie was.

March 19, 2007 - 23:25 ET by m1xramThe Rosie site says that the comment area is closed. Commenting on her fantasys would probably be useless anyway, so we're all saved a lot of typing.
Rather than comments maybe we should work toward some kind of commitment. I'm sure there are many institutions in her area that could be of service. They could either help with whatever she's on or, if that's not the case, maybe give her some anti-psychotic medication.

March 20, 2007 - 08:27 ET by Del DolemonteActually, Halliburton was getting plenty of no-bid contracts from the government some 40 years ago, thanks to the (Democrat) President at the time, Lyndon Johnson, who climbed into bed with the firm in 1936 (5 years before Dick Cheney was even born). LBJ's widow Lady Bird still sits on their Board of Directors.
Bill Clinton also gave the firm no-bid contracts during his war of choice in Kosovo.

I know I read about a couple of cases, one from 1978, and another in 1995. Which also makes you wonder why they keep getting these no-bid contracts.
Didn't mean to shift the scope of discussion, was just making a funny.
