For God's Sake...
Rosie's behavior was pretty disturbing to me, though I do understand what the guest is saying regarding the context and that it was a closed event. It's no secret I'm no fan of Rosie, I thought it would take a lot for her to shock me -- This did the trick.

Oh no she didn't!
I think Rosie is just downright mean now. When did she become an expert on how to air the news?
"Don't take your eye off the ball?"
So, let me get this straight, the average American will become distracted from the war in Iraq if there is something other then, the war in Iraq, in the news? How condescending.

Crème de la Crème
Miss Dorothy has clicked her ruby slippers together thrice, perhaps twice because she has mad skills; and returned home for the holidays. This leaves us with a delimma. Where will we turn for all of our celebrity gossip? How can I know if my hair is on the edge of lesbian fashion? Will we have to discover our very own weekend crushes instead of finding them at the click of a URL? Who shot JR? Oh noes! What ever shall we do?!
Fear not my friends! It is I, Bainshee, your knight in shining armor who comes to your aid! I will don my drakescale, heft my damascus dragonlance, mount my dependable destrier, and diligently dish and disclose the dewy denigrate drivel displayed defiantly by our distinguished denizens; without diminishing dear Dorothy's discerning and dedicated dissection of their derelict displays of direct indecency.
Aw shit, who am I kidding, I just want to talk about Rosie.
So, below you will find a video of CNN's Anderson Cooper at a loss for words over the latest installment in the Donald Trump vs Rosie O'Donnell feud. Well, I had no idea they had some kind of feud going...But am I the only lesbian who thinks Anderson Cooper is pretty hot?
Er.
Anyway, I really don't get Rosie at all. I'm not a fan; I admit I laughed while at the Tower Records that was going out of business yesterday - 70% - 95% off everything in the store with only 3 days left - and here's a plethora of All Aboard! Rosie's Family Cruise among the few unsold DVDs. Maybe it was just the DVD cover I was laughing at though.
On The View, Rosie stated Trump filed bankruptcy a number of times, Trump says he never did and may sue Rosie for saying so because it would be "fun". Where exactly are you getting this information from, Rosie? The Internets? You do use the Internets too, right? You confuse fiscal estimates that he is bankrupt, and some of his business ventures going bankrupt, with his claiming personal bankruptcy.
You may feel I am being overly harsh on Rosie, but consider her position and what she said. This reeks of the Tom Selleck/Rosie NRA Debate - Another example of Rosie having a strong opinion and no facts to back up her stance. Please do not get me wrong, I very much appreciate a woman with a strong opinion and I do support gun control. However, opinions without statistics and factual evidence in a National forum, coming from a celebrity, annoy me greatly. Rosie has never, to me, come across as someone who is necessarily willing to listen to reason. She has her stance. Period.
Donald Trump's remarks were crass and insensitive. Trust me, I'm not a fan. The video I blogged does not include a remark where he questioned her moral character just so far as to omit mention her sexuality. His intention was obvious though.
Rosie is a wealthy comedian, Trump is a wealthy powerful man. Each have these things which they can fall back on in the backlash which is sure to follow. Really, I wonder if this entire "feud" is a publicity stunt -- But then, Trump's remarks on Rosie's character, image and stature lead me to believe he is no more then a bully.
The diadem sought to decorate the doyen of this discord will be met with despondent ambivalence.
