Rosie O'Donnell's top writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly caught defacing and "drawing moustaches on photographs" of co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck "that hang in The View studios," reports The New York Post. Read here. ABC has confirmed that photos in the studios were defaced and that the matter is under investigation.
Barber, says The Post, is an "old friend" of Rosie's and worked with her on The Rosie O'Donnell Show. Rosie tore into Hasselbeck on Wednesday, May 23, in a spat over Rosie's comments comparing U.S. troops with terrorists. Rosie, a notorious leftist, did not appear on Thursday's edition of The View, which is co-produced and co-hosted by Barbara Walters.

This whole thing is just ending badly. Rosie needs to get out, stick to writing inane "poetry" on her website.

May 25, 2007 - 10:31 ET by HypocriteHaterElizabeth should demand that Rosie never be allowed to return now that one of Rosie's sychophants (or more like psycho-phants) has now caused a hostile work environment for her. That is absolutely disgraceful, but it doesn't surprise me.
If Hasselbeck demanded that O
May 25, 2007 - 10:40 ET by GalvanicIf Hasselbeck demanded that O'Donnell be banned from the show, she'd be stooping to O'Donnell's level.
A far more effective ploy would be for Hasselbeck to bring the defaced portrait out on stage on the next show, humorously thank O'Donnell's writer for the "make-over," and let the audience respond. No apology demanded --- just display the portrait, and let O'Donnell respond.
If O'Donnell apologizes for the infantile behavior of her staff, she loses. And if she doesn't, she looks even more childish than before.
Hasselbeck has been handed the initiative --- she needs to remain above the level of pettiness.

May 25, 2007 - 11:33 ET by HypocriteHaterI do like your suggestion, although that could come off as being more petty than going to her bosses behind closed doors. But just so you know, since I work in an HR Department, Elizabeth definately has a right to complain to her employer. It's not being petty, it's making sure she doesn't have to be subjected to a hostile work environment by another employee. Elizabeth is being harrassed for her political beliefs and that is against the law.

May 25, 2007 - 13:00 ET by msh1973HypocriteHater,
You have a point...Elizabeth should file a harassment suit against Rosie, her writer, Barbara and ABC. Isnt' that what the left is always screaming about, sensitivity in the work place?

May 25, 2007 - 10:31 ET by kathleenirishMy ten year old likes to do that to pictures in the newspapers. 'nuff said.
This action says it all: You're a bunch of spoiled, immature babies, Rosie and Horde from the Left. This is just the icing on the cake after that big-mouthed-bully-know-it-all cried, "I'm a poor, picked-on victim!!!" when confronted with her own words and vitriol. She's pathetic, and her "head writer" obviously speaks for her. What a joke.

Sure, we have some bad apples, but I won't sit by and let you tarnish all the races of the Horde, whether they be Blood Elf, Orc, Troll, Tauren, and yes, even the UnDead. If you don't get that, you don't play WoW. If you do get it, go outside. I know it can be scary, but the sun isn't out to kill you.
On topic...yeah, I agree with you about the immaturity aspect.

May 25, 2007 - 10:53 ET by texan1953This is a fitting end to Ro on the View. This behavior shows the lack of depth that she always had...fire doesn't melt steel, who's the terrorist...et al. Think about it...Ro got all her information/data from left wing blogs. Imagine that...so it goes.

Is Rosie burning bridges here
May 25, 2007 - 11:39 ET by bassndudeIs Rosie burning bridges here? I think that is exactly what is going on here. RO is pitching a fit that she has to leave the View. Its getting harder for her to find work, even in the entertainment field because she has demonstrated how stupid she is and is out on the extreme far left wacko realm.
Save a SeAL, club a liberal!!
Burning bridges
May 25, 2007 - 12:00 ET by goldenthroatBassndude, you are right on the money! I'll bet a steak dinner that Wosie never did quit the show. I think it is going to eventually come out that Baba Wawa lowered the boom on her, has given her time to find something else and all she is doing right now IS looking for work.
She hasn't been anywhere close to being entertaining and America has gotten weary of her big mouth, persistent negativism and empty head. That's the reason Air AntiAmerica tanked with their cast of idiots and Wosie is taking "The View" down that same road.
Baba Wawa is doing everything she can to save face and the only way to pull this show out of the muck is unload this fat lesbo.
Never dance on an empty stomach unless it's a liberal.
Actually, now that you mentio
May 25, 2007 - 12:56 ET by Hero SquadActually, now that you mention it, a show on AirAmerica seems to be a logical next step for Rosie, as she completes her progression from Comedienne to Actress to "Queen of Nice" Talk Show Host to Magazine Editor to "You Caused Your Mom's Cancer" former Magazine Editor to former Talk Show Host to Angry Activist Lesbian to Gay Cruise Travel Agent to Nasty Flamethrower on Morning Television Show. I think she's marginalized and parsed her audience narrowly enough that this might be the best way to hit the people who still care what she has to say.

Barber illustrates the leve
May 25, 2007 - 12:07 ET by daveinbocaBarber illustrates the level of thought and emotional maturity pervasive in the Rosie cheerleading camp. I logged onto TMZ and it was clear that a lot of the anti-Elisabeth comments were being logged on just after humongous hits from the bong. Rosie is dead-ass stupid. Elisabeth should be prepped better, to refute the rigged Lancet figures of people killed in Iraq. The UN says around 70,000; Lancet and the lesbian mouth-without-a-brain say 700,000. For once, I'll accept the UN figures.
And what is that pompous fool Trump doing entering his two-cents worth into the argument. That guy is dumber than he looks. Elisabeth should thank God for her enemies.

May 25, 2007 - 14:32 ET by BenderThis episode just displays the hypocrisy of the Rosie gang of followers.
It boils down to this, Rosie's gang objectivied Hasselbeck's appearance and attacked that since they could not combat her ideas.
Feminists are supposed to be above attacking a woman's appearance, right?
If a man did this because he lost an argument to a woman, the N.O.W. gang would be up in arms. Notice how silent they are now?
Will Rosie apologize for this proxy attack on a pregnant woman?

May 25, 2007 - 17:10 ET by lehmanI never believed that Rosie quit the job on her own. Just two days after her gross comments at a ladies luncheon (with teenagers present) she announced her decision to quit if she couldn't work for just one year. ABC wanted three years from her. Yeah, right. Barbara said she wasn't involved in the meetings. Yeah right. They think the people who watch The View are stupid enough to believe that. Elizabeth is no coward. Rosie is the coward because she can't face reality.

May 25, 2007 - 18:29 ET by Carl KolchakI think I heard that Barber was sent to the principal's office and received a week's worth of detention. She also had to write "I will not deface pictures of Elizabeth Hasselback" 100 times on the chalkboard. There's even some talk she might have to repeat the first grade.
