Report: Hasselbeck’s photos defaced inside ABC studios

The lead suspect: Rosie’s head writer.
Yesterday, Rosie’s chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the building after she was caught drawing moustaches on photographs of Hasselbeck that hang in the “View” studios.
The Post’s Adam Buckman reports ABC confirmed in a statement only that “photographs at ‘The View’s’ offices were defaced. Rosie O’Donnell was not in the building. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter.” Barber is an old friend of O’Donnell who worked with her years ago on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.”
There were also rumors O’Donnell was so angry after her argument with Hasselbeck that she trashed her dressing room, although ABC denied the tantrum.
I guess Elisabeth deserved it for following Rosie’s pensees about terrorism to their logical conclusion.
Meanwhile, today on the Ro blog: “war is terror / i support the troops”.

Unleash Bolton on their asses!

Reading the comments on Rosie’s blog is like watching a text message exchange between 14-year-olds.
flipflop on May 25, 2007 at 11:20 AM
Rosie’s chief writer is a high school girl? That explains a lot.
NellE on May 25, 2007 at 11:21 AM
I miss rosie already :(

In other news, liberals and Truthers everywhere DEMAND to be respected as serious adults.
natesnake on May 25, 2007 at 11:22 AM
In a way, this is the sign of an addict. (emphasis on the “you’s” above mine) There is a DIRECT accusation to Ro-beast. Her CHILDISH response? “It’s not me, it’s you.”
Well, Ro-beast, you did call me a terorist. Go to hell.
Mazztek on May 25, 2007 at 11:22 AM
Classy.
What’s great about all of this is that it’s exposing Rosie to the wider public for the (Boehner euphemism for immigration bill) she truly is.
thirteen28 on May 25, 2007 at 11:23 AM
Would that be her jaw so she can swallow Elizabeth whole?
GoodBoy on May 25, 2007 at 11:24 AM
Why do they need writers?
Zetterson on May 25, 2007 at 11:25 AM
Childish.
I really am getting tired of their school girl antics on The View and behind the scenes. Shame on the Media for reporting this as “newsworthy”.
kiakjones on May 25, 2007 at 11:26 AM
Ace amazingly has a quote where Trump claims Rosie the winner of the scuffle since only “imbecils” support the war in Iraq.
natesnake on May 25, 2007 at 11:26 AM
And I thought I was immature.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on May 25, 2007 at 11:28 AM
Yeah, I linked that in an update yesterday.
Allahpundit on May 25, 2007 at 11:32 AM
If she was using her upside down meditation contraption she could have trashed the room in short order – wrecking ball comes to mind.
Bradky on May 25, 2007 at 11:32 AM
Another example of how far “tolerance” goes with the Left. As long as you agree with them they are tolerant, if you don’t then “May the fleas of a thousand camels fall into your armpits”.
For some reason it amuses me to think of the O’Donnell troll getting some it’s own medicine.
omegaram on May 25, 2007 at 11:33 AM
“Rosebud”
soulsirkus on May 25, 2007 at 11:34 AM
Kiakjones, the fact that it is so childish is part of what makes it news-worthy. Nothing distorts an argument so quickly as emotional instability – it’s valuable context, albeit disturbing.
Spirit of 1776 on May 25, 2007 at 11:39 AM
Oopps. I’m a little slow on the uptake this morning.
natesnake on May 25, 2007 at 11:39 AM
whatever… Rosie wouldn’t know how to support the troops if one sat on her face.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on May 25, 2007 at 11:40 AM
Something everyone is missing is that this was the first time anyone ever confronted Rosie on her very own statements, and didn’t let her simply get away with saying whatever trash she felt like letting fly out of her mouth. So Rosie beleives so little in her own statements that she quits the FIRST TIME she is ever called to clarify her own comments? What a baby…what a loser. Typical liberal mentality.
JustTruth101 on May 25, 2007 at 11:42 AM
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
Rosie has the ugliest smile I’ve ever seen
(& I have British friends….)
omnipotent on May 25, 2007 at 11:44 AM
Tolerant liberals, doing what tolerant liberals do. The Stalinists. If they ran things there would be gulag for conservatives.
smellthecoffee on May 25, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Nothing like THE VIEW to further the stereotype that women are clucking hens with no depth, but big mouths.
Thanks you idiot liberal harpies.
tickleddragon on May 25, 2007 at 11:54 AM
How truly embarrassing. Really.
I’m starting to just feel sorry for Rosie. What an empty waste of a human being.
Professor Blather on May 25, 2007 at 11:57 AM
It’s a bit like…or at least similar to, terrorism, no?
Blaise on May 25, 2007 at 11:59 AM
I’m not sure there’s any way of defacing a picture of Rosie. How do you make that more hideous?
cmay on May 25, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Very, very good question. Makes you wonder how much is scripted – and how much of the propaganda is spoon-fed (ha!) right into Rosie’s mouth. (Note: no steel was melted with heat in the making of the aforementioned spoon).
Ya know … you’d think if they had “writers,” that the “writers” might actually do a bit of research for their “writing.” As in, maybe they’d fact check how steel is made … or that ridiculous 650,000 stupidity.
Just sayin’.
Professor Blather on May 25, 2007 at 12:01 PM
What do you have against the troops?
SARCASM
Rick on May 25, 2007 at 12:01 PM
They do research – it just happens to be done on the Loose Change website, and by watching their videos.
Rick on May 25, 2007 at 12:03 PM
That writer shmuck should be paid a visit by some offensive linemen.
Buck Turgidson on May 25, 2007 at 12:03 PM
So typical of the left. They are allowed to rant and attack and when someone fights back, libs yell foul. Liberals don’t want debate, it’s either believe as I believe or watch out. Deface Elisabeth’s picture; how mature.
I am inclined to agree with the person who said that liberals are so open minded their brains fell out.
katieanne on May 25, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Well, as Ro told Elisabeth: don’t go by facts, go on emotions.
Rick on May 25, 2007 at 12:13 PM
What’s next? Writing Hasselbeck’s number and “For a good time call…” on the bathroom stall?
Orange Man on May 25, 2007 at 12:14 PM
This from the man who wears a wookie on his head…
Catseye on May 25, 2007 at 12:17 PM
She was studio blogging.
JinxMcHue on May 25, 2007 at 12:22 PM
It’s almost creepy to read Rosie’s blog. After going there, I kind of feel sorry for her. It’s kind of like looking at Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, and I don’t intend that to be mean.
Matticus Finch on May 25, 2007 at 12:27 PM
Because, when you move into a new TV gig and insist that all of your sycophantic groupies come along with you to stroke your ego and stab people in the back, it’s easier to just call them “writers” in the contract.
saint kansas on May 25, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Imagine being an Iraqi woman under Sadaam Husseins rule.
ctmom on May 25, 2007 at 12:31 PM
Children.
Children deface photos.
Children through temper tantrums.
Children believe in fair tales and magic.
Arguments among children quickly turn into name calling and shouting matches.
These people are children playing grown up.

He’s probably mad because Elisabeth busted his chops too when she was going off on Rosie.

Yup, the dam burst…
See that just doesn’t have the ring that the other word for dam does.

I wonder which picture is photoshopped, the one from ABC or the one you linked.
cmay on May 25, 2007 at 12:57 PM
Awww, cute, kind of like kindergarten. I call it: Liberals Do the Darndest Things.
Seixon on May 25, 2007 at 12:59 PM
Ahhh, the tolerance and enlightened deportment of the “reality based community.” Perhaps one day we brute Philistines who don’t subscribe to their view of the world can rise to the level of drawing mustaches on pictures of those have the temerity to disagree with us and trash our dressing rooms in an enlightened tantrum.
I lol’ed irl. Pretty damned hard.
Citizen Duck on May 25, 2007 at 1:03 PM
Like that’s ever gonna happen. . . Well I guess if one got lost on the way to the men’s room and he mistook her big mouth as a bowl.

MirCat on May 25, 2007 at 1:13 PM
“So, have you found proof that fire has never melted steel throughout human history?”
“Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a b!tch!”
“Well, I suppose I see your point. Now, can you confirm that figure that American troops/terrorists have killed 650,000 Iraqi civilians?”
“Look, the b!tch has a moustache! What an ugly #&$9in b!tch!”
saint kansas on May 25, 2007 at 1:22 PM
I’ll second that. It never reaches her eyes. I have never seen a legitimate smile on her face. Not only is she despicable — she’s just plain creepy. I’ll be so very glad when her stint on The Spew is over. Did she show up for work today?
lan astaslem on May 25, 2007 at 1:32 PM
This reminds me of when the Clintons left the White House. Along with the Clintons looting gifts to the USA while they were in office, their staff left porno and offensive messages mixed in with office documents. The incoming Bush White House downplayed the entire situation.
You can’t downplay this stuff. People need to be held accountable and making believe that you are superior by ignoring it only gives these Liberal infants license to continue smearing their poo wherever they see fit.
You don’t have to draw anything on a Rosie picture. She’s one gut ugly wonker.
Hening on May 25, 2007 at 1:33 PM
Thanks. I almost wet my pants.
KelliD on May 25, 2007 at 1:43 PM
Friday profound:
I’ve had the occasional suspicious thought that Allahpundit might actually be a woman. If you’re going to write bluntly satiric articles about murderous Islamofascist thugs, then it would be a brilliant use of internet anonymity for a woman to gain an extra measure of personal safety by using a male nom de blog. Throw in the occasional wistful sighing over attractive women like Kirsten or MKH and you’ll really confuse prospective fatwa-crazed assassins. In this scenario the sighing over women would presumable be a clever fake; not that there would be anything wrong with it if it wasn’t.
All these View posts have removed my suspicions. Allahpundit —- dude, you’re a girl.
Anton on May 25, 2007 at 1:46 PM
Liberal tolerance displayed. What a great example being set? Not!

Tolerance with a capital T.
vcferlita on May 25, 2007 at 2:33 PM
Rosie’s blog proves definitively that she is nothing more than a typical bully. She is good at “dishing it out”, but she can’t take it.
The evidence?
I just followed your link to Rosie’s site…the first and last time I go (if nothing else, she needs a new keyboard…obviously her caps don’t work!). I found this as the last entry:
“donna writes:
Is there any possibility you will be staying on with the view?
when painting
there is a point
u must step away from the canvas
as the work
is done
anymore would take away”
So, she’s quitting. Someone finally stands up to her…to make it worse her doormat…and she’s all weepy and sad. And quitting.
What a poser. What a half-miler.
Blaise on May 25, 2007 at 2:37 PM
Hmm, sounds like Ro & Friends are creating a climate of hostility for Elisabeth. Maybe she should sue.
Iblis on May 25, 2007 at 2:40 PM
Advice to Rosie:
when eating
there is a point
u must step away from the table
as the meal
is done
anymore would split your pants
Tantor on May 25, 2007 at 2:47 PM
Rosie is gone for good.
mesablue on May 25, 2007 at 3:40 PM
Someone on the Dennis Miller radio show suggested that she suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder; and reading the Wiki page it dose seem to fit….
liquidflorian on May 25, 2007 at 4:14 PM
If she was using her upside down meditation contraption she could have trashed the room in short order – wrecking ball comes to mind.

Professor Blather on May 25, 2007 at 7:45 PM
Well, isn’t that special. With Rosie being such a jerk, I guess she’d only hire jerks.
csdeven on May 25, 2007 at 9:27 PM

No, it’s Bush Derangement Syndrome
Rick on May 26, 2007 at 12:44 AM
Considering Rosie’s vileness, her friends would be about the same. How much you want to bet these mustaches were a version of a dirty sanchez?
