I thought The Donald was cool on this show. I think they all ought to go on Family Feud! The Hog Family vs the Trumps.

Don is the Man, and he’s raised an articulate, intelligent daughter. I wanna be her baby daddy

I bet The Donald misses Tara Conner. Speaking of Miss America…

Meredith You Media Whore.
Let’s talk about your show, what’s it called? All about Rosie
And then tries to turn spin it as Da Donalds error.
I got your No Comment right here Meredith
Classic MSM, no class at all.

I hate them all.

Meredith Viera – highly overrated and pretentious.
Entelechy on January 4, 2007 at 9:44 PM
Does anybody really give a rat’s backside about any of those talking head dolts and what they have to say?
rplat on January 4, 2007 at 9:47 PM
Trump wasn’t fueling the fire, but he IS fueling the Hot Air.

Ditto

What a dink she is! SHE asks the question, then wonders why he keeps responding. She has to have big brassy ones to be that brazen.
Dr. Gecko on January 4, 2007 at 9:54 PM
Don’t know what you all think but doesnt she interrupt her own interviews consistently. Bugs the hell out of me.

I say screw YouTube. I no longer use them. I would not count on them any more because you never know when your account will be “permanently disabled.” Mine was. Perhaps I need to learn more on “fair use” but I do not think I need to edit up a video clip in order to post one 20 seconds long without it being taken down for copyright problems. Everything I upload has been political in nature. I am not putting up porn, music videos, or anything else of the sort. I am now using DailyMotion.com as my video hoster. I lost every one of the ones I posted up on youtube. Screw them and google. This is not the first time Google has screwed me and I will not give them a 3rd chance.

Tell me Barbara didn’t have something to do with that! Oh and did you know that Rosie is on her extended vacation that was planned monthsago..I know this because Barbara said it again today..I also know that they enjoy having Rosie..Barbara said that too…pretty soon there will be a ticker running at the bottom of the screen.

Smells like bacon…..

So Meredith actually expects us to believe she would let him get by with no comment. What a maroon.

Go Donald Go
It is about time someone take on trailer trash and give her a dose of her own medicine.
What I find astounding is all the media babes coming to Rosie’s defense and trying to blame the Donald for the mud fest.
Last night on FoxNews Greta had some bimbo that pretends to cover Hollywood saying Donald Trump is hurting his “ratings” and his reputation.
If that is the case, then why is Rosie suddenly on and extended vacation. Maybe, just maybe, NBC suspended her ass for almost costing them millions in a libel suit.
ROFL

Sadly, yes.
Rick on January 4, 2007 at 11:07 PM
Careful, Kid, we don’t want to offend anyone.
Rick on January 4, 2007 at 11:09 PM
Think about it – Trump believes in second chances and being decent to others (despite the business persona) and is slammed.
Viera, Walters, and company defend Rosie – who generously can be described as having started out with promise and went stark raving liberal (or mad – your choice) and pushing her agenda on her viewing audience in nothing flat. These are also the same people who are into “infotainment” (I will not dignify it as news because it isn’t) and deceiving the nation into believing that which isn’t.
Personally I would rather have a nation of Trumps than a state of Viera’s (or Walters’ or O’Donnell’s).
However, in Ohio, we seem to have the latter. Here’s a sample of what they endorse. Liberal to a “t” in sucha way that Rosie and Meredith would be proud.
We pray for the former.

I support The Donald… I think he put her in her place… but I think everyone knows how he feels and he should take Meredith’s advice and from now on, just say, “You know how I feel on that topic, I’d rather not discuss it any further.”
I mean for crying out loud! She accused him of trying to boost The Apprentice’s ratings with the Rosie thing… I think she is trying to boost her own ratings by jumping on the “Trump vs. Rosie” bandwagon.
Ridiculous.
Decoy256 on January 4, 2007 at 11:28 PM
I love how his daughter jumped in and defended him. She came across as very classy. Much needed in all that.
Rightwingsparkle on January 4, 2007 at 11:29 PM
All I know is it’s hilarious whenever he calls Rosie and “animal”.
RightWinged on January 5, 2007 at 12:29 AM
andan “animal”.RightWinged on January 5, 2007 at 12:29 AM
Man, I love his daughter. She is the best thing about this whole drama….
Tim Burton on January 5, 2007 at 12:38 AM
As Kelso (That 70’s Show) would say: BUUUURRRRNNN!!!!
Good job, Mr. Trump. There is no good reason to sit still for that crap.
hillbillyjim on January 5, 2007 at 2:23 AM
Rosie is an idiot.
GOOOO TRUMP!
Anyone else think to themselves that it’s time the bully (rosie) stops beating up kids for their lunch money? Time someone takes the bitz on!
Highrise on January 5, 2007 at 4:16 AM
He could have commented on her bad nose job.
I know, liberals that grew up in the 60’s are NOT focused on superficial things like physical appearances.
benrand on January 5, 2007 at 6:46 AM
Rosie is just a fat butterball of hate
Chuck on January 5, 2007 at 8:33 AM
Who gives a gnat’s ass about this pettiness?
It gets stale after the first couple of giggles.

I used to respect Meredith until this.
Valiant on January 5, 2007 at 10:02 AM
“No comment”… Now if Meredith Viera ever mentions it again, she should be shouted down with that phrase.
RalphyBoy on January 5, 2007 at 11:02 AM
Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump are why Home Depot sells those big rubber mallets.
Tantor on January 5, 2007 at 4:15 PM
I don’t give a rat’s ass about either of them. Sort of like Allah’s first comment–I don’t care who wins the war as long as there are lots of casualities. However, Rosie implementing the now infmaous classic “Palestinian Defense” of “he hit me back first!” is rather funny.
I like how they keep asking him if he thinks he is being harsh…I mean really, he made firing incompetent people on national TV in front of millions of viewers [em]popular enough to coin a catch phrase[/em] and somehow people expect him to be nice?
