[regfootball]

No reason, there just needed to be one.

quite the bully and pouter

frightens children

she dislikes THE DONALD

she's like a more lethal version of Rosanne

tell us why you don't (or do) like Rosie

I'm surprised Donald got so miffed about it in the first place. He could have been the big man and just ignored it.

The battle is just pathetic. I didn't like O'Donnell before, and I have less of an appreciation for Trump now.

[turbo200]

Trump handled it like a true man and gentlement. Insulting all fat women and unattractive people is the way to go in American society. Hell, free speech, 5th ammendment, it's all there, we have the right to call unattractive people on what they are.

That was sarcasm. Trump is an idiot for his rantings. He made himself look like a baby, and did it all for the sake of publicity. He is the loser for lacking principle.

[Variance]

I heard Rosie once did a racist imitation of Chinese people. Anybody got any details on that?

[Croc]

I think they are both ridiculous and irritating. Rosie because of her blatant, self-serving hypocrisy, and Trump for his bad manners and worse hair.

[regfootball]

yeah, but the Don is at least watchable on TV.

[ocnblu]

Rosie has gotten too loud for me, but Donald Trump, he of the supreme combover, has proven himself the loser in this feud. What an a-hole he is. He never should have let that Miss USA chick off the hook for breaking the rules. Sends a bad message to young people.

[Croc]

See, I have no problem with how he handled the Miss USA thing. He knew her and the situation far better than any of us, and he made the call he felt was appropriate. She wasn't let off the hook as she was sent to a rehab anyway and had to deal with the public humiliation.

Now, I'm not condoning Trump's behavior to Rosie, but he really has been saying the things a lot of us have been thinking...and putting Barbara Walters in the position he did has been most entertaining...

[Robert Hall]

It would be fun to see Rosie and The Donald get into a brawl on live TV..

[ocnblu]

I always wanted to catch a glimpse of a combover guy as he comes out of the pool. Shiny on top, with a long mane over one shoulder. Or on a windy day with the gusts going against the grain.

[trinacriabob]

Haven't been following the whole thing, but dislike both of them.

Trump for:

cheapening to the point of putting on something like "The Apprentice" which sells avarice and Machiavellianism, general flash level despite an Ivy League education (Penn's Wharton school), bad hair and....he is not a self-made man...he inherited and built on it....not from scratch as some others have done which, I guess, is ok. He is obviously a general-purpose jerk. You know that Ivana and Marla had to have been thinking of someone else when he was planted in between their legs.

Rosie for:

BEING ROSIE ...a truly abrasive and obnoxious bull-dyke. Even before "the announcement," how could anyone not have figured that one out. Also, "Cruise was a rouse" -- her ranting and panting for Tom Cruise was way too transparent and orchestrated. I am also disgusted with the other snively bitches (BaBaWaWa) who have gotten on Rosie's bandwagon on this.

I've also often wondered if Roseanne is sort of wired the same way...she's kind of rough. Reg, you knew I'd weigh in on this.

This whole feud is pretty puerile, but this video is just hilarious:

Don't forget, she has a gravitational pull.

Completely agree, I can't stand either of them. Edited January 14, 2007 by REDO1GPGT

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yeah, she has gravitational pull, but only because of her hefty size.

Rosie is a mouth, and she thinks her opinion means sometihng. She is all opinion. No fact, and her power hungry antics are self serving and she gives gay people everywhere a bad reputation. She is continuing the lesbians are manly and gay men are girly and mouthy stereotype.

Donald, although he didn't start this mess, could have handled himself better. . . and for cryin out loud, lose the combover. It just goes to show that a man with a billion dollars can still be insecure over something as stupid as his hair. Geez.

[z28luvr01]

Rosie likes to stick her nose where it doesn't belong. She tried going after Kelly Ripa last month but Kelly diffused it. I've never been a big fan of Trump and his TV persona, but I give it credit for going into the trenches and duking it out with her, because sometimes that just needs to be done. Trump looks like a baby in this one, but Rosie's been cut a lot of slack by the media. She's a disgustingly crass hypocrite who has absolutely no right judging anyone's morals. If you're old enough to see any of her stand up comedy pre-"The Rosie O'Donnell Show" you'll see exactly what I mean.

Of course, being as cynical as I am about the entertainment industry, part of me sees this as a fabricated feud designed to pump up the ratings of both their shows.

[K.C.]

z28luvr, I heard about that. The funny thing about that was that Rosie herself outed Clay Gayken because she called Kelly homophobic for saying what she did, when Clay has never confirmed his homosexuality, but with Rosie saying that she must know something that is not being made public. Her big mouth sounds off again. Clay should be pissed at her. She seriously needs to tone it down.

[trinacriabob]

What was that all about?

[Croc]

What was that all about?

It was all over YouTube...Kelly Rippa shut the big fat bitch up!

[ShadowDog]

I'm glad that my world knows nothing of what you're all talking about.

I'd rather see Miss USA and Miss Nevada brawl in a tub of chocolate pudding or good alfredo and then kiss and make up. With Rosie watching in the front row, tied down to her chair. And the Don in the corner counting the money.

Rosie is one of my homies... Although, I heard this rumor he was a woman. Is that true?

Now i likes this idea. Rosie is just a pissed off fat chick. Ignore her and she will go away... if we are lucky.

Ha! Isn't it funny how fat pillowy broads are either super sweet or super nasty?

yup

[ocnblu]

I am sure she doesn't give a rat's ass what guys think of her figure. As long as her relatively goodlooking gf loves her, isn't that all that matters?

Vipes, I'm not checking. I'm not sure anyone here is brave enough to actually check.

[K.C.]

I'm not afraid of Rosie O. I will check to see what sex he/she is. Uhh, someone give me a nose plug please.

The operative word being 'weigh' I'm guessing?...

[DetroitNut90]

:rotflmao:

I don't care for either one of them. Rosie needs to take a serious dosage of and Trump needs to be knocked down a few pegs (THE Donald? You're not that important).

[ocnblu]

OMG, "weigh in"? I just had a vision of Bob standing nekkit on the scales before the big fight. Now, my eyesight is destroyed.

[turbo200]

I'd never know one woman's opinion could get so many so riled up. What many here hate rather than her, is the power of her word, and how far-reaching it has become because of its integrity. She stands for what she believes in, what's wrong with that. Aside from that, no one here has given a rational example or proof of how she is wrong in any way, and especially for sharing her opinion, since that is what she gets paid to do. Most hate her because of the power of her appeal, no matter what insults people hurl at her there is a whole other side that sees the validity in much of what she stands for.

[regfootball]

no, we hate her because she's a "insert word with C here"

[trinacriabob]

no, we hate her because she's a "insert word with C here"

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself.

My problem with her is that she is in absolutely no position to be judging anyone's morals. Whether she's fat or not has no bearing on my opinion of her. She is a phony, period. Anyone ever see her stand up comedy routines before she started "The Rosie O'Donnell Show"? They were full of crudeness and vulgarity, yet she deems herself enough of an upstanding citizen to be able to publicly judge anyone who gets her bloomers in a bunch. Hopefully this feud with Trump teaches her to STFU and look in the mirror first before launcing her next little tirade.

Isn't she from "the Island?" (Thought I saw that on some docu-biography type show some night I must have been bored). Which town?

and she has never pretended to be anything but this. in any interview from the rosie show era you will hear her say the "queen of nice" titles and all the image of the talk show is not really her. It doesn't matter, she is an entertainer and her show was entertaining, and I'm sure her stand up routine was entertaining to others for different reasons.

as we all well know trump is not known for being the philanthropical billionaire, that's branson. in turn, rosie, with what little she has, contributes much and speaks up for those she feels have little defenses. It may be incredibly brash and uninvited, but she has heart and is following it, and she speaks up for those she genuinely feels need protection. that's more than anyone can say for the billionaire with bad taste and a not so keen business sense. Not to say he hasn't had great business instinct, but his brand has seen an upturn in the past few years thanks to his show and a greater focus on the wealthiest class. Back in the '90's, most of his hotels, casinos, etc were seen as cheap. But he is an astute man, however his manners in person are less than a man. He showed a lack of dignity and decency, all she did was go on a rant about she felt he is not a moral authority. She gave him constructive criticism, he attacked her for being fat. Who was the better man in this battle?

EDIT: she actually talked about her stand up acts during the original rosie show, and how different and inappopriate it was for the audience the rosie show was intended at. it was stand up, a comedian must talk about something, must perform something to seperate themselves from the rest. comedy is tough. it is no simple act, and when you get up there and think you've got something good going, you find an audience that completely disagrees, and they tear you apart.

it sure is unfortunate they let Rosie purchase her 'children'. I suppose she had no chance of getting one through proper channels. One interview with social services and they would have burned her file.

[ocnblu]

reg, you're over the line there, buddy.

[Croc]

Nah, I think it's funny and not over the line. I'd call into question her child-rearing abilities, but isn't that what Kelly is for?

[GMman]

Both are pathetic losers and not worth talking about.

Except for sports, there's nothing on TV.....

yet another example of irrational accusations....what proof do you have of this? other than what you see, which as we all should know, is nothing compared to what it really is.

[Chris_Doane]

You guys really need to find something else to do with your time.

[regfootball]

blu, i didn't cross any line.

my post was not directed at anything regarding the principle of gay adoption. the point i was making was about celebrities seem to be able to magically adopt babies and whether or not they were subjected to the same procedures all other couples are.

I had to write recommendation letter for some close friends to vouch for them in their adoption process. to see all the expense, anguish, pain and time they went though, basically their lives were probed like a rectal exam.

I never read or saw anything about how Rosie obtained hers that suggested she had to be scrutinized in that manner.

And honestly, if they had, seeing how messed up in the head she she is, it would be on the fence in my opinion as to whether you could trust her with a child, if they were giving her a review process.

that's all i'm saying. couples go through hell to adopt legally. I am just wondering if she had to go through the same ordeal.

[FAPTurbo]

No love for the Jack Bauer Power Hour?...

[Croc]

yet another example of irrational accusations....what proof do you have of this? other than what you see, which as we all should know, is nothing compared to what it really is.

Sorry, what was the first example of an irrational accusation? Proof of what, that I'd question her child-rearing abilities? DUH! Because how can someone be a PARENT when their maturity growth is so stunted? Picking fights with Kelly Rippa?? Acting like a bully? These aren't just isolated incidents...they are part of a continuing pattern of behavior. Rosie could very well be verbalizing the proper values to her children relating to conflict management and interpersonal relationships...in other words basically getting along with others...but actions speak louder than words, and when she acts so brashly, what kind of message is that sending to her children? Rosie doesn't "play nice" with others. She's rude, self-centered and disrespectful. Regardless of anyone's personal politics or whatever, you need to be able to exist with others in this world. And I don't think Rosie is capable of teaching her children that because she herself cannot seem to emulate it.

And then I said, but maybe that's what Kelly is for.

So, what was so difficult to understand? Frankly, it sounds like you've got a little axe to grind against me...grow up! Reg was the one who brought it up anyway, and I just don't disagree with him on it.
