No, Rosie didn’t make fun of Chinese people today. Or accuse somebody of being a “homophobe.” But she did pick an idiotic fight with Babwa Walters on who is the least richest. Rosie says she is the macaroni-eating, BBQ party type of rich, whereas Barbara is the dinner party kind of rich.
At the end of the fight Rosie mocks Star Jones’ prayful goodbye, but she was just kidding.
Rosie O’Donnell: A goldmine of inane commentary and vapid conflict.

WTF?

Even posting videos of her here gives that woman more exposure than she merits.
Sheesh. She’s appalling.
Bob's Kid on December 13, 2006 at 5:31 PM
Ian, are you like AP and tivo this show too?
Rick on December 13, 2006 at 5:35 PM
That little Elisabeth just gets cuter each time I see her!
tikvah on December 13, 2006 at 5:36 PM
Certainly appears that she eats plenty of BBQ. Is that sauce on her chin?

You can take the cow out of the barnyard, but you can’t make the cow shut up.

You mean right next to the rotisserie chicken?
Sammy316 on December 13, 2006 at 5:56 PM
Yeh, it’s hard to wean yourself off of that trough.
As for the video. What a bunch of cackling hens. People actually watch this show?
fogw on December 13, 2006 at 5:58 PM
Hmmmm … she said she was very rich and had more money than a human could possibly need. Shouldn’t she be giving most of it to the IRS for redistribution? Isn’t that the “liberal way”? She seems to be the antithesis of a liberal.
darwin on December 13, 2006 at 6:00 PM
Why Ian? Why? I thought I could make it through one week without having to see Rosie’s obnoxious mug more than once. What have we loyal HotAir commenters done to deserve such a a horrid fate?
vcferlita on December 13, 2006 at 6:04 PM
I love discussion like that. It really has nothing to do with money….it’s a cultural thing.
I had a friend in college that loved to throw ‘upscale’ parties where she would plan a whole menu and put placecards at each spot to designate who was sitting where. She certainly wasn’t rich (from a poor southern family, in fact), but those were the kinds of things she enjoyed doing.
I prefered getting a whole group of friends over, ordering a pizza, and battling for supremacy with a game of Mario Kart. I’m not rich (poor midwestern family) but then, neither was she.
What always strikes me as odd is how people argue that one is more normal than the other. I think that’s what was offending Barbra. Of course, rather than saying, “I enjoy those parties.” she tried to prove she was ‘normal’ by saying “Rosie! I eat macaroni too!” Newsflash: Most poor people would enjoy a filet mingnon dinner every now and again too if they could afford it. There’s nothing wrong with good living. There’s also nothing wrong with preferring barbecue (as long as it’s KC barbecue….everything else is just meat with ketchup).
Why is everyone so concerned with being ‘normal’?
JadeNYU on December 13, 2006 at 6:06 PM
I smell pork slowly roasting on the rotisserie. Wont be long until she is done.
infidel on December 13, 2006 at 6:06 PM
Yes yes indeed. IF we must have these ‘view’ posts, can we have slide show images of Elisabeth and just the audio of the rest of them? Call it the partial view for HA folks? I just can’t look at O’Donnel ever again.
shooter on December 13, 2006 at 6:09 PM
Enough of Rosie. She makes me ill.
Rightwingsparkle on December 13, 2006 at 6:09 PM
thx for the idea infidel, fatass rosie =
rotisserie. ROTISSERIE
shooter on December 13, 2006 at 6:12 PM
The audience reaction is what terrifies me. It’s like the audience is completely Rosie’s, am I right? No matter what she says it’s followed by roaring cheers… Who are these people?!
But I really want to point something out that I forgot to mention the other day during MM’s “Ching chong” Vent and post at her own site….
Remember Rosie was saying something to the effect of “I do an Irish accent, and I’m Irish”, etc. Basically she was saying “what’s the big deal about doing accents. The problem is, when she made her “Ching chong” comments, THAT WASN’T AN ACCENT! And she is still pulling the accent line today… In this clip, she jokes at Joy about her doing a German accent, obviously a sarcastic reference to the “Ching chong” incident.
Can anyone answer me this… Is Rosie really stupid enough to believe that “Ching chong” is the same as doing an accent? Or is this just the usual liberal dishonesty? This irritates me more than it should, only because she’s clearly pulled off her little “accent” switcheroo and people aren’t even picking up on it.
RightWinged on December 13, 2006 at 6:22 PM
I have always found this hieffer offensive. Especially after she had her breast cancer awareness/get your mammograms campaign on that dumb show of hers. She would use slang words for breasts and make adolescent jokes about women’s breasts so that women wouldn’t be embarrassed to go for their mammograms. I hate to break it to that dope, but those slang words and jokes contribute greatly to why women might be embarrassed. Of course, I am not so a liberal so I might be wrong.
bloggless on December 13, 2006 at 6:35 PM
Apparently.
Rick on December 13, 2006 at 6:35 PM
That was just painful to watch.
wytammic on December 13, 2006 at 6:37 PM
Yes, I love it.
Ian on December 13, 2006 at 6:43 PM
I admit to being very conservative and Rosie does anger me like others on this blog. However, that clip was funny. They both have more money than god and want to say who is poorer. That was rich(pun intended).
Mr Paul on December 13, 2006 at 6:47 PM
The moment you opened your mouth, Rosie. I enjoy watching rich liberal socialists trying to show that even though they have money, they still can relate to “the little people.” I also enjoy watch Rosie demonstrate that she can’t comprehend the idea “class” as in refinement and taste. Maybe it is the BBQs that help her keep in touch with the common folk.
Mallard T. Drake on December 13, 2006 at 6:52 PM
You’re right. Let’s call Rosie what she is, viz. ABBY-normal — a la Marty Feldman in Young Frankenstein(cross reference with the Peter Boyle remembrance clip posted in an adjacent thread).
CyberCipher on December 13, 2006 at 6:57 PM
Rosie does have that effect.
Rick on December 13, 2006 at 7:03 PM
It is now starting to be recognized by the AMA as an official medical condition y’know. Either Allah or Ian posts one of these Rosie clips, and suddenly people all over the U.S. show up in hospital emergency rooms. It just keeps happening over and over again. I guess that’s why the medical doctors are inclined to classify this particular affliction in with bullimia. You know. Rosie clip, purge, Rosie clip, purge …
CyberCipher on December 13, 2006 at 7:15 PM
Speaking of medical conditions, the AP reported within that past hour that Dr. Jack Kevorkian will be paroled in June. If he lives long enough (Korvorkian is gravely ill), the liberal moonbats will no doubt attempt to re-enlist his services. I am almost certain that my liberal moonbat uncle has been trying to hire someone to “off” me for quite some time now. It’s their modus operandi, y’know.
CyberCipher on December 13, 2006 at 7:22 PM
Well we know what it isn’t. Oops… is that a homophobic statement?
maintenanceman on December 13, 2006 at 7:26 PM
hmmmm, I’m thinking that big “C” might stand for something else, Rosie.
CookeyD on December 13, 2006 at 8:02 PM
Ka-ching. Ka-chong.
shaken on December 13, 2006 at 8:03 PM
Watch out for the barrage of complaints from those Czechoslovakians..
Oh, wait.
At least they made a good point regarding whether or not people should be ashamed about being rich. Not sure if they realised they were making a good point or not, but it was a good point nonetheless..
Reaps on December 13, 2006 at 8:20 PM
Why does anyone care what sounds come out of those gas bags?
Why does anyone watch?
Include most of morning TV; Today show, Good morning, CNN [whatever], even Fox and friends.
They are nothing more than time fillers. Who cares what they say?
Add in The Opra, The Donald, Geraldo; gas bags, one and all.
It baffles me how they attract an audience.
So help me out here. You don’t like what she says on her show, why do you watch? You enjoy masochism?
rockhauler on December 13, 2006 at 8:23 PM
You poor, deprived, mislead, deluded soul… I have eaten ice cream that isn’t as sweet as that sugary crap called KC BBQ…
Anybody with any BBQ chops knows that Memphis is the center of the BBQ universe. If you want some REAL BBQ, try
Corky’s or Interstate BBQ. Hell’s Bells, even TOPS BBQ (the McDonalds of BBQ joints in Memphis) is better than KC Crap-Q.
MOMinuteman on December 13, 2006 at 9:10 PM
Ok, was it H3lls B3lls or Cr@p-Q that set off the poo-poo word filter this time???
MOMinuteman on December 13, 2006 at 9:12 PM
Either way, JadeNYU, KC-Q is sweeter than some ice creams I’ve eaten. Memphis is the center of the BBQ universe and you should google Jim Neely’s Interstate BBQ or Corky’s BBQ websites if you want the real thing…
MOMinuteman on December 13, 2006 at 9:19 PM
Since when did Big “C” stand for Commercial thar Rosie.
Texyank on December 13, 2006 at 9:22 PM
I like how Rosie says “Normal people”. What the hell would she know about being normal. Gastro-pod.
x95b10 on December 13, 2006 at 10:14 PM
Please, PLEASE, PLEASE! NO MORE ROSIE!
R D on December 13, 2006 at 10:50 PM
Someone put that hog back on the trough
WisCon on December 13, 2006 at 10:53 PM
And whoever is here is addicted to The View. PLEASE GET HELP! Enough already!
R D on December 13, 2006 at 11:01 PM
MOMinuteman: if you can describe KC BBQ as ’sugary’, then you haven’t tried very many of the varieties. And there are so many here in Cowtown… I might recommend to you a trip to Arthur Bryant’s.
JadeNYU: Envy me!
The Monster on December 13, 2006 at 11:14 PM
Give her enough rope (air time) and she will hang herself.
right2bright on December 13, 2006 at 11:31 PM
Yes, and she has done so numerous times, but the damn rope keeps snaping.
Rick on December 13, 2006 at 11:49 PM
This is nothing, they actually had a clip of Rosie having sex with a male on TV!!!!
To this day, it makes my stomach churn.
“Blaming guns for Columbine is like blaming spoons for Rosie being fat…”

What a camera hog.

There, hope that fixed it for you…..
R D on December 14, 2006 at 12:42 AM
Lovely. Arguing over who is more dead common.
Claire on December 14, 2006 at 1:37 AM
Please! Once again, I implore you to stop rosie and the view now!
R D on December 14, 2006 at 2:03 AM
Just stop already. Celebrities bickering over what constitutes “normal” is so ridiculous. It took Rosie almost 4 minutes to “cop” to being rich. Of course it’s a condition which must be confessed, and be ashamed of, if you are a liberal.
“I’m less elite than you, nyah!”
Freelancer on December 14, 2006 at 2:23 AM
Rosie isn’t worth a comment, or thought for that matter, but I just have speak up about the BBQ. It isn’t Memphis or KC, its North Carolina! No tomatoes, no ketchup, no sugar, just vinegar and hot peppers (and a pit cooked, hickory smoked pig), yum!
prototype on December 14, 2006 at 2:51 AM
Rosie who?
Mortis on December 14, 2006 at 8:04 AM
It’s easy to grin
When your ship comes in
And you’ve got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile,
Is the man who can smile, When his shorts are too tight in the seat.
there it is on December 14, 2006 at 8:22 AM
I’d be happy to eat her potatoes at dinner any time, any place.
Dread Pirate Roberts VI on December 14, 2006 at 9:06 AM
I would not want to get in the way of Rosie O’Donnell at a buffet line!
Hilts on December 14, 2006 at 9:39 AM
I’m with R D
The View = e rosii
thebookkeeper on December 14, 2006 at 9:59 AM
You said it! More BBQ joints here in Charlotte than McDs….and I’ve yet to find a bad one.
Crusader on December 14, 2006 at 10:31 AM
Not Memphis, not KC, not NC. East Tennesse. Put Rosie in a pit and cook her low and slow. Dry rub first and mopping sauce for the last 30 minutes…mmmm. Have to warn you, though. She’s kinda rich, so you can’t stomach much.
Barntender on December 14, 2006 at 10:44 AM
Are YOU going to be applying that dry rub?
jeannedb on December 14, 2006 at 11:43 AM
She’s a sick (Insert word refering to something that retains water) when are we going to bury her in the ash heap of pop culture?
Tim Burton on December 14, 2006 at 1:39 PM
4 Clucking Chickens is so much background noise for those in the asylum.
Why do people watch this Crap?
ScottyDog on December 14, 2006 at 8:04 PM
I have to admit the Rosie is occasionally funny, but she is mainly a rude, arrogant, smug, self-satisfied boor. I never thought it would be possible to have Barbara Walters portrayed as a sympathetic and put-upon human being, but Rosie has succeeded in doing so.
I received a headache from listening to the tripe coming from Rosie on this video. Yet, the audience seemed to love it just as it loved Rosie’s impersonation of the Chinese language. Strange.
