Rosie: Why I Quit 'The View'


Life without Rosie O’Donnell began on “The View” Tuesday morning as the ladies said their public goodbyes to their former co-host.

It was the first show without Rosie since the explosive spat with Elisabeth Hasselbeck that led to Rosie calling Elisabeth “a coward.”

In Rosie’s place was guest host Whoopi Goldberg, and the women wasted no time getting right to the heart of the matter.

Barbara Walters looked at the camera and stated, “We are very close friends. Rosie, if you’re watching, nothing will change that.”

While “The View” went on, Rosie spent the weekend boating with her family.

And now “Extra” can reveal the exact reason Rosie said goodbye.

Rosie wrote on her web blog, “When I saw the split screen, that’s when I knew it was over.”

It was the moment that spelled the end for Rosie, when “The View” showed the two pointing fingers and yelling, side-by-side.

Rosie went on to reveal on her blog that she felt like “a foster kid for a year.” She wrote, “I came and we considered adoption but I didn’t really fit into the family.”

Also, believe it or not, Rosie said she sent a note to Elisabeth!

On the show Tuesday morning, Elisabeth said, “I think this weekend gave us the opportunity to tackle our most important hot topic yet, and that was the power of forgiveness.”

Forgive and forget is one thing arch-nemesis Donald Trump just can’t seem to do.

Donald gave “Extra” his own piece of mind on Rosie’s exit, explaining, “The reason she quit was that she couldn’t take the heat.”

He’s even taking full credit for her decision!

“I was the one that started Rosie's downfall, and I'm very proud of that because I exposed Rosie for what she is,” Trump told us. “She's a very self-destructive person, not a very bright person, and ultimately she's a loser.”

So what’s next for the embattled comedian?

Rosie said she may spend some time on tour with Cyndi Lauper.

As for “The View,” Barbara Walters wants everyone to know Rosie is missed.

“She’s welcome back anytime she wants,” Barbara said on the show.

Why is it that those that don’t agree with Rosie’s point of view, call her awful names?? Why not Elizabeth or anyone else on the view? Is that your only defense? And, for those who are ignorant enough to not understand that she never called our U.S. Troops terrorists rather suggesting to “wake up” and realize how the iraqi citizens view our troops as their terrorists because we have invaded their country.

Regardless if its Rosie speaking or another American … truth is truth & we “America” have terrorified a weaker country for our own political gains. As our President & Republican party “dance” around with excuse after excuse with no real leg to stand on for entering that country, where we are clearly not wanted. It’s the OIL STUPID!!!!!!!!!

Next?

You blind fools……you should be more worried about what is being done to you in this country by the government and the FDA.
Chemicals are being put into the food you eat and the products you buy!
Why do you think Cancer and diseases are at an all time high than ever before in history!
The Pharmaceutical Companies make “billions” of dollars each year profiting from you getting sick.
There will be no cure found just more drugs made so that americans can be spending enormous amounts of money each year on perscription drugs.
They profit by keeping you sick!!!
Nixon declared war on Cancer over thirty years ago and still no “cure” just more and more and more drugs for you to buy.
That keeps the pharmaceutical companies pockets nice and fat. They are not going to give up those profits by finding a cure!
Open your eyes people don’t be stupid.
“PROPYLENE GLYCOL” is the main ingredient in antifreeze and used in brake and hydraulic fluids, paints and coatings.
Also something called “SODIUM LARETH SULFATE” and it’s in the food you eat and in the products you use!
Those chemicals are everywhere yet it gives you cancer!
Go ahead….go check your cabinets you’ll find it in your food, toothpaste, shampoo, underarm deodorant, conditioner, lotions, soaps, pet food, baby wipes, processed foods, etc.
Go look………go see for yourself, in addition to causing cancer, propylene glycol also causes kidney damage, dermatitis and liver abnormalities.
There is so much more about the meat you eat the way cows are genetically modified and bred, how they are fed diseased feed, ground-up other diseased, sick animals, and routinely eat their own feces and urine.
Cows are injected with bovine growth hormone, causing the animal to be highly diseased.
They are given large amounts of antibiotics and other drug injections.
The same is said for pork and chicken.

Rosie needs to shut up! There’s a time a place for everything. The View was not the time nor the place to discuss the war or any other political issues. Elisabeth didn’t have to answer Rosie’s question if she didn’t want to. Plain and simple!! Everytime someone says something negative about the war doesn’t mean that you have to respond or defend it (if you believe in the war)!! Whatever!! Rosie needs to stop throwing stones because she does not live in a glass house!! The wayshe lives her life is horrible!! Where are her morals and values?!?!? The View did her a favor by allowing her to be on their show!! However, the View did an injustice to themselves for allowinng her to stay on the show for so long! It’s obvious she has no class or taste!! She talks about everyone. The nerve of her!! She doesn’t even have a “GED”!! Who in the hell does she think she is?!?!? She’s a Lesbo-Looking Dike!

Just look at the picture of Rosie…

That is one big fat ugly disgusting pig… Yuck

That fat pig quit the view because she could never support her outrageous statements. She called our troops terrorists and then does what she does best - run and hide.

Fat, ugly, dumb and a rotten personality to boot. She sure hit the super-fecta of being a waste of flesh (to be exact, A LOT of flesh)!!!

Now the world is seeing this witch for what she is, a dumb fat ugly pig who has no clue.

Folks, she’s no genius, she’s an obnoxious high school graduate with a big mouth.


Good riddance you big fat slob!!!

I HAVEN’T REALLY CHOSEN A SIDE BUT I DO FEEL LIKE ELIZABETH COULD HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION DIRECTLY INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH ALL OF THOSE RABBIT TRAILS. I FEEL LIKE THERE WAS TENSION THROUGHOUT THE HOSTS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED, MAYBE NOT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION THOUGH. I FEEL LIKE ROSIE MADE A GOOD AND MATURE DECISION LEAVING THE SHOW BECAUSE I FEEL SHE IS TO AGGRESSIVE AND OUTSPOKEN FOR THE OTHER LADIES. SHE ALSO CAME IN AND BASICALLY TOOK OVER THE SHOW WHICH LED TO BE A GREAT THING. I FEEL THAT EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER WOMAN REALLY LIKED HER IT WAS ALITTLE INTIMIDATING TO THEM. ROSIE HAS A LOT OF OPINIONS AND THE VIEW IS BASED ON WOMENS OPINIONS ON LIFE, ROSIE DID NOTHING WRONG AND I THINK THAT WHEN ALL OF THIS CONTROVERY DIES DOWN THAT THE WOMEN WILL HAVE LESS VIEWERS. ROSIE’S SPIRIT AND OUTSPOKENESS WAS A BIG PART OF THE SHOW THAT THEY NEEDED UNLESS THEY BRING SOMEONE WITH HER TYPE OF SPUNK THINGS WILL NOT BE THE SAME.

Elisabeth’s family values and ideas are alot like mine, however this time I agree with Rosie. Rosie asked a question, a simple honest yes or no would have been sufficient.
Elisabeth would not allow Joy to go through her list of political issues without interrupting. That’s how the whole Elisabeth vs. Rosie thing started. Yes, Rosie is a bit aggressive in voicing her point of view, but so is Elisabeth and Joy. No one is a victim here.
I will gladly watch Rosie in whatever she does. Whoopi would be great, may help to keep ratings up.

The mistake Rosie made was to use The View as her bully pulpit. The show was never meant to be an outlet for political chest thumping but she used it for that on a DAILY basis. It ruined The View.
Her constant, dogmatic political preaching never left room or time for anyone else’s POV. She was pretty narrow minded.
Hurray for Elizabeth who, time and time again, held her own with Rosie and did it with patience and dignity.

Hey “Shut Up” why dont you take your own advice…when was the last time YOU helped humanity? And I’m sure Rosie’s Publicist’s assistant’s assistant answers all your questions “Personally”, whatever your concerns might be; like she has the time in her busy life running away from everything to answer you personally.

You could be right DAFFY, now why don’t you QUACK your comments to Rosie directly? She personally answers every day.

While you are there analyzing her every word, take a look at all of the causes she is personally involved in.

What have you done to help humanity in the last 90 days?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, point of view and the right to voice such. If you make a statement it is YOUR responsiblity to clarify the statement, not your family, friends or anyone else. And NOBODY has the right to get angry because another person didn’t come to their rescue when they got their “teat” caught in the wringer!! Why did Rosie expect anyone to defend her to the media? It was her words that caused the erruption in the first place! If she is a big enough girl to make the statement, she should be adult enough to defend or clarify her opinion HERSELF and not USE a friendship to get herself out from under media scrutiny.

After following this argument, I went to Rosie’s blog. She is being PASSIVE AGRESSIVE and MANIPULATING the public’s opinion of her with her website. What really amused me was the “poor me” attitude she displayed here. The sighing; the “I don’t know what happened” attitude; the “foster kid” mentality…She knows exactly what she is doing and she is going all the way to the BANK with it! It seems it’s not “poor little Elisabeth”…it’s now “poor little Rosie.” She is absolutely ridiculous!

Personally, I think The View will be much better off without her. She is rude, overbearing, brutal and self-serving.

You know what, she is laughing at all of you!

Rosie was out on her boat today with her kids and you are hanging out in a forum arguing and insulting her.

As far as this “Donald” character, it is probably someone DT has hired to keep re-posting the same comment over and over.

So one behalf of Rosie, your whole damn house could fit in her swimming pool!

Rosie - The most vile hideous creature ever on TV.

Fat + ugly + terrible personality = Rosie.

Hey Rosie, why not offer an apology to everyone you have offended over the years?

How about starting with our soldiers who you called terrorists?

How about Elisabeth Hasselback who you abused because you’re a bully?

How about Christians who you called as bad as radical muslims?

How about Catholics who you questioned that we had too many on the supreme court?

How about the Brittish soldiers who were caprtured by the iranians who you accused of staging the the incidient to start a war with Iran?

How about the relatives of all victims of terrorists, who you claim aren’t bad people since they are actually mothers and fathers?

How about the cancer victim who you said deserved cancer?

And too many more to list…

Rosie, here’s your chance. Try being a human being for once in your miserable life.

APOLOGIZE…

Whats interesting here is that hardly a soul has investigated or tried to appease the politics behind the actual fight between Rosie and Elisabeth. All I see is “I’m glad Rosie’s gone, shes a fat pig” or “I love Rosie! Elisabeth should be gone”…Seriously its like rooting for your favorite sports team. I think both of them had valid political arguments but I believe that Elisabeth was overall more open-minded about communicating her viewpoint. Rosie may have had good intentions but it just doesn’t seem like she’s a good communicator. Honestly I think this has gotten grabbed hold by the media and thrown out to rediculous proportions.

I had always enjoyed “The View”; however, when they brought that trash talking, low life, Rosie on the program I became totally disgusted with her lowlife, uneducated presentations. The program has lost its class, dignity and intelligence since Rosie joined the View. To even consider the likes of the crotch itching, crass, uncouth, gross, unladylike, Rosanne Barr to take Rosie’s place is such a degradation not only to the View, but to intellegent womanhood and the general populace as well. Please, spare us from an even more repulsive replica of Rosie by even considering Roseanne Barr.

Why hide from the truth, Rosie is a big fat slob.

It cracks me to watch these nitwit Rosie or liberal ideology defenders. Rosie is defenseless in this whole thing.

She said extremely offensive things and ran. She used the oldest trick in the book by staging a fight with Elisabeth Hasselback, knowing that the nitwit Rosie lemmings would come to her defense.

Rosie - you are a big ignorant fat slob who has no clue. Now that is a fact!!!
