Rosie O'Donnell Regresses, Makes Scrapebook, Possibly Overly Sensitive, Slightly Dramatic

Wow, Rosie's gone full tilt-o-whirl on this Hasselbeck/View fight nonsense.  Girlfriend needs to gain some perspective, step out of her insular box a bit.

Latest news in the Rosie/Elisabeth flare up is that Rosie's writer for the show and long-time friend Janette Barber was escorted from the ABC studios for "defacing" property, and Rosie trashed her dressing room.  When we say defacing, what we mean is Barber drew mustaches on pictures of Elisabeth that are displayed at the View studio shortly after the on-air fight between Hasselbeck and O'Donnell occurred on Wednesday.

Let me take a moment to remind you that these are grown women.  Rosie is 45 years-old and Elisabeth is 30.  I love how during virtually every fight I have been forced to read about between these two, Rosie talks about how young Elisabeth is that's why she doesn't know any better.  Well Rosie, while I may think that Elisabeth has some truly warped ideas about things (like her belief in creationism, for example, is an enormous load of steaming horsecrap) I do think she has a point about our troops.

Allow me to go off on a brief tangent here: we should not be in Iraq, ok.  Most people agree with that.  But that doesn't mean our troops, who elected to do a job that I couldn't do, nor would want my children to do, but a job that needs to be done by someone, don't deserve our respect or support.  It's not their fault that our President is a total doofus, they are merely doing what has been asked of them.  It's not their place to question their specific orders.  That doesn't mean they like their job, or agree with it, but they understand the loyalty aspect of what they signed up for.  So really, implying that they (and ostensibly Americans in general) are terrorists is well, asking for trouble.  And that's what you got Rosie, trouble.
