The View from another broad.
Rosie O’Donnell is off licking her wounds from her self-imposed premature departure from network television’s only real political discussion show, The View. That’s it. It’s over. As a fellow big-mouthed-lefty-lesbian, I’m hurt and disappointed, and not by the onscreen verbal bitch slapping, but by Rosie’s decision not to return to work for three more lousy weeks and keep fighting the good fight. Her sudden retreat has left the rest of us like her holding our dicks. Rosie seems to think that standing her ground is detrimental to Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s pregnancy? That kind of thinking in any workplace rockets the feminism Rosie claims to love back to the 1950s. See how insidiously these blonde conservative babes win?
But let’s get back to Rosie’s perceived wounds. How could she really expect this Bush lover she’s been “friends” with for less than a year to publicly rise to her political defense? That would be bizarrely unrealistic. For Mrs. Hasselbeck to not defend Rosie personally from unpatriotic accusations, however twisted as perpetrated by that right-wing-mothership Fox News, is typical Republican behavior. Sane people with closer relationships to these aliens of democracy have been far more seriously disappointed. Chastity Bono, Candace Gingrich, and Mary Cheney have suffered bigger public betrayals from family members of this ilk. Wake up, Rosie. That’s just how they roll.
