As we've noted in an earlier post, Rosie O'Donnell and ABC couldn't work out a contract renewal for her slot on "The View." But when I read the "exclusive" story this morning by ABC News's Monica Nista, I noticed the reporter left out any mention of Rosie's numerous controversies such as her 9/11 conspiracy theories, her suggestion that the British hostage crisis in Iran was a conspiracy, her "ching-chong" gaffe, or her swipe at "radical Christians" being just as dangerous as "radical Muslims" like Osama bin Laden. Instead Nista focused on an a feud with rival network NBC's "Apprentice" host Donald Trump:
Trump and O'Donnell butted heads when O'Donnell called him a "snake oil salesman," after he announced he would not fire scandal-plagued Miss USA Tara Conner. Trump threatened to sue O'Donnell, but later backed down. Conner's crown was in jeopardy after a bout of underage drinking and substance abuse, but Trump gave her a second chance.
Trump pushed Walters to fire O'Donnell for her wayward comments, even saying, "And here's my prediction. She will have a huge fight ultimately with Barbara Walters, and she will be fired."
Of course, the Trump row is ancient history. It started in late December 2006 and continued through January 2007.

Wed, 04/25/2007 - 12:33 ET by goldenthroatAnyone in their right mind who believes that The Mouth is not returning to "The View" because of 'contractual issues' must be living in another galaxy! ABC will never admit that Wosie's comments at the women's media luncheon is what finally sent them over the edge. Too bad Baba Wawa didn't have the guts to kick her fat, lazy, lesbo ass out the door first.
Then again, what else would you expect from a left-coast, bleeding-heart, 'do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do', liberal network?
Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal.

Good -riddance.
power of email
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 12:51 ET by m1xramA while back I filled out the ABC feedback form, letting them know that their channel had been blocked and Rosie was the reason. Although it would be completely ludicrous to think that one message was the tipping point I'd like to think I helped.
When you put things in the perspective of "Advertising Dollars" the guys at the top can figure it out fairly quickly.

Plus there was a STOP Rosie
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 12:56 ET by bigtimerPlus there was a STOP Rosie link here, that I signed early on and passed on to all in my email list...that may have helped too...ya never know.
She sealed it herself yesterday and the 9/11 Conspiracy thing in my opinion though.
Open mouth, insert foot...and hers is big enough for the shoe to fit!
The form
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 13:00 ET by goldenthroatGood for you, mlxram! Can you give us a link to that feedback form?

Rosie and her big mouth
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 14:15 ET by whatajoyThe crazy thing is, Rosie actually thinks she persuades people with her opinions and far-fetched conspiracy theories. No one takes her seriously, nor will they ever. She doesn't have a clue what she is talking about, and she refuses to even listen to the other side or expand her horizon. She has tunnel vision to the extreme, and does not have a sense of reality or common sense.
WHAT COLOR IS THE SKY IN HER WORLD????
I'm tempted to say somethin
Wed, 04/25/2007 - 15:03 ET by Tom1969caI'm tempted to say something like, "...and don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!"
But then I realize that there are limitations to current door-closing technology, and given the size of the posterior in question it may be an unavoidable inevitablity...
