It must be a slow news week, judging by the incessant coverage of Donald and Rosie’s dispute. I think I’m on Trump’s side on this one. For starters, I think it was the right thing to give Miss USA another chance; she’s a young girl, and she’s been exposed to a lot of temptations and jet-setters most people never have the opportunity to be seduced by. More important, no one pays attention to her unless she gets in trouble. This makes trump look good and increases publicity for the competition. Sure the whole thing, including the news coverage, is part of our cult of celebrity, but what else is a beauty pageant but a triumph of all this is superficial, fleeting, and glamorous. It’s really rather ridiculous that we live in a time when an out-of-the-close lesbian would presume to give anyone else a lesson in sexual morality. Finally, I just think Rosie is just mean-spirited and crude, who has revealed her true character on numerous other occasions such as her berating of Tom Selleck with her pet-issue of gun control.

Rosie has a big mouth and everyone knows it, but she is a comedian too. Comedians hit and miss their mark. I think she is quite smart and quite talented but she sometimes goes too far. I was much more offended by her off the mark accusation of Kelly Ripa than her rude remarks and making fun of Donald Trump. He really should know how to take the heat.
At heart, Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump are probably both nice people. In there diverse ways, they both seem to be very devoted and loving to their families.
I do find Trump’s arrogance and pompous, superior attitude rather repelling. It is his money and power that attracts the beautiful women to his life and allows him to say and do pretty much anything he wants. He needs to learn to have some class to go with all that wealth, to get a sense of humor, and take the high road and keep his cruel insults under control. To me, his barrage of insults toward Rosie are much less defensible than her going too far with a satirical joke. Oh yeah, he really needs to do something about his silly looking comb-over hair… he would look more refined being bald.
I am so glad that Donald has taken a stand with Rosie! It is time that someone takes up for themselves and not let Rosie bully them. What are we teaching people? The louder and meaner you are, the more you achieve? The more you put people down, the higher it brings ourselves? What is wrong with this picture? I do watch the View because I am waiting for Rosie to screw up. She is a very hateful person who has a very demented way of viewing things and voicing her thoughts. It is my personal opinion that Rosie must not think much of herself if this is the way she must treat people in order to get things done! It is very obvious that Rosie, in her uneducated, unclassy way takes facts and twists them into her own personal agenda. It scares me that people take her at her word without researching things themselves. We have become a country that believes our celebrities are experts before we believe the educated masses or ourselves. It is just so wrong. I have watched her attack Kirsty Alley, Oprah and the hikers that were lost and later died in the mountains of Utah. What makes her an aficionado on everyone’s life. People are watching the View – but for all the wrong reasons. The mass majority of educated, insightful people that are still watching your show are watching it to see how few important guests you still have on (I compare everyday to the other talk shows), how the entire panel gets stepped on, how long it will take for Elisabeth to open her mouth, how Joy has power at last and how Rosie will embarrass you and ABC today. Get out of the dark ages people and open your eyes. I did not like the way ABC handled firing Starr Jones, even though I did not like her and I DO NOT like your show or network today. Here is ABC’s out – Was she hired as an expert on the morality, lifestyle and virtue of all of us or was she hired as a moderator.

I knew that making Rosie O’Donnell the moderator was a mistake. A moderator should have the ability to keep her mouth shut so that other people could have an opinion and learn the art of tact!
What an error in judgement, Rosie does not possess any of the capabilities of the position.
