poor big ass Rosie feeling sorry for herself because Elisabeth will not bow down to her and shut up.

way to go Elisabeth - brains and beauty in one hot package

 

[Bern80]

uh, wow

It was close, but I'd have to give to Elisabeth. Just Rosie's excuse was her fear of how it would get spun and she would let Elisabeth even answer the question she asked.

And she's hot.

Rosie can't stand it when people do not roll over for her and let her bellow unchallenged

 

[Bern80]

it lookeed like Elisabet was really close to whipping out an "oh no you di'nt" at the end there.

She just smacked Rosie around and it was fun to watch

Rosie had the deer in the headlights look when she would not back down

So much for the illusion of freindship between the two of them

Time for new storylines

I do not think that Elisabeth did a good job responding to Rosie - I think she was a bit shrill and didn't respond with enough cool facts, but this is my general complaint about Elisabeth, I think she is a slightly better than average educated conservative who doesn't do a great job using facts and figures to debate her points. Then again, the other panel members continually shout her down so perhaps I'm not giving her quite enough credit.

However, I think that she "won" the argument hands down for several reasons.

1) Good tv or bad, people are getting sick and tired of hearing Rosie O'Donnell and blame anything bad that happens to her on being a fat lesbian liberal. Newflash: According to you, Rosie, your company wanted to pay you over 10 million dollars to stay on the show and continue to do exactly what you do everyday...sorry sweetie, you aren't a victim.

2) Plain and simple, Rosie (and most of the other women on the show) are bitch and condescending to Elisabeth. So when Rosie tries to play the holier than thou "aren't we friends" card it smells just as full of shit as it is. Elisabeth, on the other hand, spends most of the time smiling politely and shaking her head sweetly as the others on the panel bash and insult everything she believes in...and then responds politely. So when she states that she "as a friend," wanted to give Rosie the opportunity to explain her own statements...it was believable.

3) Elisabeth was right. While I think that some of her beliefs are over the top and crazy conservative...Elisabeth was right that Rosie should stand up and explain her own statements and how they have be "misconstrued" rather than get Elisabeth to do it for her. Elisabeth called it a "game" and she was right in this as well. What Rosie wanted was to have conservative Elisabeth defend her...and then Rosie could go from there into a diatribe about how the conservative media slams the fat, lesbian Rosie and even Elisabeth agrees that they distort and lie. Elisabeth showed a lot of intelligence, in my opinion, by NOT falling into that trap.

Sigh...I could go on...but I've already spent too much time on the subject. Rosie was ridiculous...as usual...Joy Behar's asinine list was just that...asinine...and the viewing audience makes me embarrassed to be a woman...it reasserted that I'm glad I'm working when the show is on and just catch the more "interesting" clips on YouTube.

 

[JeffWartman]

Wow, I watched the video but didn't hear much...just thinking about what I wanted to do with Elisabeth

 

[Ninja]

How many carbon credits does Rosie need to buy every time she rips a fart?

 

[Truthmatters]

about one tenth what you take up from spewing bullshit

 

[Ninja]

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnnnnnnn

*poot*

Damn truthy, get some fiber into that diet

 

[zappaneese]

They both come off like idiots imo. They seem to represent the extremes of both sides of the issue. It's like a microcasm for what is wrong in American political debate.

but, I'll give it to Elisabeth due to her beautiful bosoms.

How'd Elisabeth come off as an extremist? In this particular incident, she was doing nothing but defending herself against Shamu. The only politics I heard involved were Rosie's WAY-over-the-top, Michael Moore-type crap. It devolved into a personal attack on Elisabeth from there.

I don't know about Rosie, but Liz could stick my head between her legs and feed me on her wet farts for the rest of my life!!

ABC Spins Rosie’s Terrorist Comments as a Kitchen Table Debate Across U.S.
Posted by Scott Whitlock on May 24, 2007 - 12:39.
On Thursday’s morning shows, all three networks covered the dust-up between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on "The View," but only ABC’s "Good Morning America" framed the shouting match as "a debate that is playing out over kitchen tables across the country."

Really? Americans are having spirited discussions during supper over "who are the terrorists?" Because that’s what "The View" co-hosts were debating, Ms. O’Donnell’s insinuations that the U.S. is responsible for the deaths of Iraqi civilians and, therefore, an enabler of terrorism, at the very least.

GMA co-host Robin Roberts began the May 24 segment by asserting that O’Donnell’s over-the-top comments had larger implications:

Robin Roberts: "I'm going to turn now to what's being called the war over the war, a war of words that erupted between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the ABC show ‘The View.’ The trigger point? America's involvement in the war in Iraq. A political starring that match turned personal and one that's sparking a larger debate about what we can and cannot say about the war. And ABC's Dan Harris has more on that. It got really ugly yesterday."

Dan Harris: "You don’t expect to see it on ‘The View,’ do you? Robin, good morning. On some level, this may be a conflict between two people who have, shall we say, a tense personal relationship. But this is also a debate that is playing out over kitchen tables across the country. Here’s the question, how far can you go in criticizing the war without insulting the troops?"

After showing several clips from Wednesday’s shout-fest and the comedienne’s comment’s from the previous week that precipitated it, reporter Dan Harris expounded on the larger implications:

Harris: "This is the latest example of how difficult it is to strike a balance between criticizing the war and supporting the troops."

David Gergen (Kennedy School of Government): "There are no clear lines about how far you can go in criticizing a government during times of war, but there are customs. One custom is you can criticize the president, you can also criticize the generals but you can't criticize the troops."

Harris: "In the presidential race, both Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama have had to backtrack after saying the lives of soldiers were, quote, ‘wasted’ in Iraq."

Noticeably absent from Mr. Harris’ list was John Kerry. In 2005, he told Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation" that U.S. soldiers shouldn’t be "terrorizing" Iraqi children. Perhaps this could be an example of the type of kitchen table debate that Robin Roberts referred to?

It should be noted that ABC, which also airs "The View," was the only network to attempt to draw a bigger meaning out of O’Donnell’s assertions. "The Early Show" on CBS simply replayed the juiciest moments while anchors Julie Chen and Hannah Storm looked on and ate popcorn. Over on NBC, the "Today" show did much the same. However, co-host and former "View" alum Meredith Vieira made sure to mention that she is out of the loop and doesn’t "get involved" in disputes between her former colleagues.
