Like all bullies, even a relatively weak smack-down is all it took to send Rosie running for cover.
Now apparently her feelings are hurt.
Oh sure, nothing wrong with her accusing President Bush of complicity in the 9/11 attack, saying that we are the terrorists for killing civilians in Iraq, saying right wing Christians are worse than the Islamic Fascists, making fun of the way Donald Trump looks or making fun of the way Asians speak, spewing venomous condescension in the direction of Elizabeth Hasselbeck almost daily, making up or repeating outlandish “facts” to support her wacko beliefs, and topping it off by telling everyone that Barbara Walters deserves all the credit for their Emmy nomination for having the wisdom to hire O’Donnell (talk about conceit, false modesty and condescension!)… none of those things justifies anyone criticizing poor, poor Rosie.
So now that O’Donnell is being criticize for essentially calling our troops terrorists (spin it anyway you want, but hard to come up with any other explanation for this: “655,000 Iraqi civilians have died. Who are the terrorists?”), when the target of many of O’Donnell’s attacks , Elizabeth Hasselbeck, did not rush to her defense fast enough, Rosie called her a coward and will never speak to her again.
There you have it folks, proof positive that O’Donnell is nothing more than a low class bully who will turn tail and run if you verbally bop her on the nose.
Some are looking forward to her eventual return to television. I hope we never hear anything from her again. This is not about freedom of speech or censuring different views. This is about spreading misinformation and lies to a national audience. Her lies and attacks on this country are hurtful to many and we would be better off if she would just pocket the big bucks she has made and fade away.
UPDATE: Blue Crab Boulevard said something I was thinkin’ and should have said: “But seriously, couldn’t you see your way clear to promise the rest of us you’ll never speak to us again?”
