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.

it is vietnam over again. Some people believe everything our government tells them. Except people who believe war does not settle everything. Our government should pull our boys out now. Iam not against the warior iam against the war. And for Rosie i think she speaks from her heart she is one person who would do anything for our boys help in anyway she is anti Bush not anti American. Come on people you mean to tell me Rosie scares you or could it be she says what you truly believe in your heart. Rosie keep it up..and donot back down. I would stand by you anytime you want.

You Americans are so oblivious to what your president is doing that you let the issues like the argument of Rosie and Elizabeth take away what your president is doing.

Just the sure fact that Bush became president the first time in the way that he did really should open the minds of intelligent human beings to see the manipulation that this man is doing to your nation.

THERE WERE NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
That is the excuse that Bush used to enter Iraq. So how can any man justify that the troops should remain there when the excuse that this president used was a lie.

ANYONE THAT SUPPORTS BUSH IS SUPPORTING A LIAR. SO IF YOU SUPPORT BUSH THEN YOU BETTER NOT TELL YOUR KIDS NOT TO LIE AS THEY CAN SEE FROM EXAMPLE THAT IT IS OK TO LIE.

The evidence is out there that the twin towers could not come down like they did from a fiery inferno. Ask an engineer who is not afraid to speak the truth. Perhaps on the tv program-myth busters-they should tackle this question.

The US military has killed so many afghan prisoners yet this has been hidden from the public. Only canadian reporters were willing to air this program. They put them in huge trucks with barely any air circulation and drove them for many days in the hot sun only to bring them to their destination and shoot bullets into the trucks like a coward who shoots a person in the back. Those who survived the long trek with air and food and water were killed by the bullets.

So although Rose is a bit loud and obnoxious that does not take away from her views which are pretty much correct and accepted by most Canadians.

At least we have a prime minister who refused to go to the war in Iraq as he knew it was wrong. But what did alot of Americans do to Canadians who travelled their because our government refused to send troops to Iraq-they vandalized cars with Canadian license plates and said profanities to innocent Canadians.

So why do you Americans not wake up and smell the sewage coming from your present government and the lies they are spewing out to you.

Rosie was hitting it right on the nail with her views and I guess that hit a nerve in Bush.

Rosie left the view early to get some anger management help.
She is a walking time bomb.
She can’t stand anyone who disagrees with her.
Rosies point of view is the only one that matters.

Really glad Rosie is gone. Maybe the View will get back to normal, whatever normal is. Who is the drag queen with Rosie on the blog??? It doesn’t look like her mate.

Remmber, the person that calls another person a fat pig, is actually the fat pig herself, JennasMomma.

Rosie sees the way things are, Elisabeth sees the way things as something she wants things to be and evades anything that are difficult. Killing innocent people of other nationalities in other parts of the world is colateral damages, but killing innocent Americans means war.

Donald Trump should get a new “do” Instead of making fun of Rosie he should look in the mirror and see where he needs some changing. With lots of money he should be able to get hair that looks real.
