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.
