Contrary to prior reports, she didn’t leap — she was pushed, or so she says. No wonder she’s so pissy about Whoopi’s ratings. Consider this closure for all the longtime HA readers who suffered with us through the saga, day by excruciating day. The question is, is it true? In the magical realm where fire can’t melt steel, objective reality can be hard to come by. Big Ro may have talked herself into believing Barbara pulled the trap door on her just because it feeds her martyr complex to do so.
But never mind all that. There’s a reason I’m linking this garbage and it has nothing to do with Rosie’s contract status. My Friday gift to our beloved patrons. You’re welcome:
Rosie claimed onstage that Walters and other “View” couchmates wear earpieces through which producers tell them what to say, which she refused to do.
Rosie also confided that she and the veteran newswoman were actually so close early on in her tenure as moderator that Walters recommended Rosie use Astroglide, which, she added, took her by surprise.
Let it stay with you forever. In fact, what the hell — here’s a little something extra, just to thank you for being you.

This is absolutely the most disgusting post.

Use Astroglide on what? Food? Whole fried chickens?
saint kansas on October 5, 2007 at 11:15 AM
Fire can melt steel? that’s crazy talk!
striper1 on October 5, 2007 at 11:19 AM
I think that is probably it. It’s gotta s-ck to be trapped in your own paranoia like that.
Spirit of 1776 on October 5, 2007 at 11:19 AM
I just threw up a little in my mouth…
amerpundit on October 5, 2007 at 11:19 AM
Word on the street is she likes ‘em alive and clucking.
Wingo on October 5, 2007 at 11:21 AM
For dinner.
No innuendo intended.
Wingo on October 5, 2007 at 11:21 AM
…and that is how Barbara first met the senator from Idaho.
dedalus on October 5, 2007 at 11:21 AM
Had to google astroglide. seems to me after this, and folsom yesterday, that Larry Craig is innocent of indecency.
JiangxiDad on October 5, 2007 at 11:24 AM
I have it on good authority that Astroglide doesn’t stay slippery very long - gets sticky and gummy.
Or so I’m told.
mikeyboss on October 5, 2007 at 11:26 AM
Gutfeld will be here to (justifiably) destroy you for saying that shortly.
Anyway, I feel the need to steal a line from Larry the Cable guy here:
“If Rosie would have gotten any bigger, she’d have blocked the view, that’s all I’m sayin’!”

So is sliding a Barbara Walters under the stall a secret signal soliciting gay male sex?
Nethicus on October 5, 2007 at 11:30 AM
One blog linking here, Turning25, reminds all of us of this picture. Enjoy.

Fire melts Astroglide for the first time in history!

dedalus on October 5, 2007 at 11:40 AM
Now that’s a lot of Astroglide.
Maybe Barbara meant to recommend putting it on the mind-control brain probe/earpiece the producers forced them to wear.
saint kansas on October 5, 2007 at 11:40 AM
How’d they train that manatee to jump onto the back of that boat?
omnipotent on October 5, 2007 at 11:41 AM
Does this mean NO MORE Rosie posts?
Brat on October 5, 2007 at 11:45 AM
Especially when hanging upside down.
Wade on October 5, 2007 at 11:47 AM
Hey, you guys that give Allah a hard time and ask if Michelle approves his posts: This is your fault.
SouthernDem on October 5, 2007 at 11:48 AM
First that folsom street thing now this. Our country may already be too far gone.
peacenprosperity on October 5, 2007 at 11:49 AM
More brain bleach, please.
Mike Honcho on October 5, 2007 at 11:54 AM
we really need that picture of upside down rosie to complete this post. Till then, I give it a 6 out of 10.
lorien1973 on October 5, 2007 at 12:14 PM
Seriously?
Esthier on October 5, 2007 at 12:20 PM
The headline should read: Barbara crushed by Rosie’s descent.
I’m rather rotund but I don’t throw my weight around like the
O’Donnell who likes to pick fights that make her look like a looooooser and the only people who defend her are loooooosers.
When you are so invested in being ‘right’ without having facts on your side, you are a loooooser.
Christine on October 5, 2007 at 12:23 PM
Thanks for that.

Esthier on October 5, 2007 at 12:26 PM
Funny. I thought that gravity would have been most responsible for her fall.
andycanuck on October 5, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Thanks for posting this before I went and Googled it - TMI!
Ann on October 5, 2007 at 12:49 PM
ARGH! Can we go back to the relative family-friendly wholesomeness of the Folsom Street Fair?
see-dubya on October 5, 2007 at 12:53 PM
Does this mean NO MORE Rosie posts?
Brat on October 5, 2007 at 11:45 AM
Do you really want Allah to try to top this one? (although technically I suppose this is a BabaWawa post).
Quisp on October 5, 2007 at 12:58 PM
I just threw up a little in my mouth…I just ruined my laptop, desk-pad, one wall-covering and my home-office carpet!
drunyan8315 on October 5, 2007 at 1:15 PM
Exactly what were Big Ro and Baba doing when this Astroglide advice was dispensed?
1sttofight on October 5, 2007 at 1:35 PM
Is Rosie’s revelation supposed to be a shocker?
A TV show filmed before a live (but legally brain dead) audience without a script and the hosts wear earpieces so the producers can feed them lines/data/info/make sure there’s no dead air?
I’m a shocked…..shocked!
JadeNYU on October 5, 2007 at 1:38 PM
And somehow this made it better?:
Don’t do that to me! I had a great lunch the first time!
Pam on October 5, 2007 at 1:39 PM
To keep her thighs from chafing when she walks, probably. (Some runners swear by it for that.)
Tanya on October 5, 2007 at 1:48 PM
Me too JiangxiDad, and I consult hospitals. But, I’ve always been told that I “grew up behind a rock”. Had it confirmed again.
Haven’t watched any vid yet but AP deserves bonuses to be paid weekly by his “beloved patrons”. Dude, you are incredible! So much laughing/entertainment should never be free!
You had me rolling off the chair at “beloved patrons”, then came:
…not “for being here”, no “for being you”. Killed me laughing, again.
Michelle is smart to leave him completely to his talents.
On a serious note, in addition to the great “thighs from chafing” comment, above, Tanya had the best comment on Rosie when on another thread she listed “Muenchhausen Syndrome” as one of the causes for Rosie’s (bone-breaking) behaviors.
The woman is still an unloved, possibly abused child, who’s never resolved what ails her, nor sought/gotten enough help. She happens to be popular and could do something positive by leading as an example to others less (financially) fortunate, in the same situation, instead of ranting uncontrollably against anything/anyone.
Entelechy on October 5, 2007 at 2:06 PM
Cry me a river, Rosie.
JannyMae on October 5, 2007 at 2:22 PM
That was no manatee. That was Moby Dyke!!!!
Kowboy on October 5, 2007 at 2:32 PM
Can we please have more Bonaduce and less Rosie?
NTWR on October 5, 2007 at 3:09 PM
LMAO!!!!!!!!
The Ugly American on October 5, 2007 at 4:54 PM
I’ll reserve judgment on Rosie’s comments until I see her new film- “Loose View”.
historybot on October 5, 2007 at 4:56 PM
No doubt Babs will follow that with a film of her own, “Screw Loose View”…
NightmareOnKStreet on October 5, 2007 at 5:21 PM
Never HEARD of Astroglide, do not EVEN tell me what it is, I do NOT want to know. Rather keep the innocence, thankyouverymuch.
inviolet on October 5, 2007 at 6:20 PM
It just has to be applied liberally, and progressively.
Or so I’m told.
soundingboard on October 5, 2007 at 11:13 PM
If she wasn’t fired, what could have happened is that the network just wouldn’t give her an offer she considered sufficient, i.e., just persuading her to not renew.
JimC on October 5, 2007 at 11:32 PM
The video retelling of BabWa’s toilet stall foibles was like a big sloppy kiss after what visuals of those two women using Astroglide did to my brain.
Allahpundit, I swear, you are Bob Harrington to Rosie’s Madalyn Murray O’Hair.
/brain bleach…must have…please…
Wanderlust on October 6, 2007 at 12:14 AM
Hey AP, can we just ignore this idiot? Let her fade into obscurity, please!
