Rosie and Elisabeth fight again
Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck clashed once again on The View. The debate was over Rosie’s position on the troops in Iraq where she insinuated they were terrorists. They began going at it like hungry badgers after Rosie called Elisabeth cowardly.
As the two squared off, the other cohosts – Joy Behar and guest Sherri Shepherd – were trapped uncomfortably in the middle, and Behar repeatedly attempted to change the subject or distract the sparring women. “Who is directing the show?” she asked. “Let’s go to commercial.”
Later on, Rosie made a blog post alluding to the fact that she may have been fired.
like it or not
tomorrow kelli turns 40
i will not be at work
This is about as thrilling as sticking a fork into my pee-hole. Given the chance, I’d rather kiss an airplane propeller than watch The View. At least then, death would come quick.

The show is such a JOKE! If you wanna hear any of what they talk about go to a Nail or Hair salon. Better yet watch the News. Someone please tell me WHY is there a show about 4 catty ladies talking about s*@t we (people) already know! And people B*%ch about reallity tv. What’s next?! ~Niki~ In Florida
I don’t watch the View very often, but when I do watch it I found myself not liking Rosie on it at all and before this, I liked Rosie. Setting aside WHAT was said for a moment; let’s just look at how much trouble she had caused and negative publicity. I personally did not enjoy the show with her on it.
As for Elisabeth, I haven’t seen it enough to make an opinion of how she states her views and her knowledge of current events and her input; but with regard to this particular SPAT, I think both women were way out of line when they allowed themselves to ARGUE on public television. We cannot tolerate this immature behavior and no other guest host or regular host of the view should EVER behave in such an unprofessional manner.
I will not use words like FAT or BIG MOUTH because they are irrelevant. This is a forum for intelligent women from different age groups to express their views on different topics. They should be allowed to say what they feel about a topic but conduct themselves in a manner that is professional and polite. Kudos to Joy for the other guest host who were unfortunately caught in the middle. And I can’t believe ABC didn’t go to a commercial and we had to endure one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments on the View or any ABC program.
Rosie… it’s over! Got It? Now perhaps you will take your $, your Views and Dissapear. I got tired long ago of this fat big mouth with her political views and Fantasy Views. Nutty, Irresponsible ? “O’Rielly words” O’Rielly was being nice.
I have words for this fat big mouth that discribe this idiot that just cannot be posted on this forum.
Thank God ABC had intelligence enough to dump this dumpster. Now , as for a replacement … Hopefully ABC will use a little common sense. Twyla , Newport Beach, Ca
I, personally, don’t watch The View very often. However, I have seen enough to realize that both Rosie and Elizabeth are at fault for these arguments. Elizabeth seems to focus on non-opinions, the kind of wishy-washy support that she gives everyone. She seems to defend all of the “powerful” people, regardless of facts, which she claims to love. I think Rosie is the opposite: she has very strong opinions and never hesitates to shout them loud, no matter who she may offend. The reality is, though, that Elizabeth gets into it with Joye, too, when Joye makes points about politics, social situations, or other current events. If Rosie is gone, Elizabeth should be, too. The View needs to go back to when it was 4 more even-tempered women who brought varying backgrounds and experiences to the show. As I look at the show, I see it as a chance for intelligent women to have discussions about all matters of things. The show should give womankind a positive persona and not portray women as they frequently are betrayed in the media: catty, narrow-minded, uneducated, non-political, etc. If this is what the show is looking to achieve, it certainly missed the mark with Elizabeth. Rosie could have been a wonderful addition, if she had only learned to compromise and share the “spotlight”, listen to other people’s opinions and be less “in your face” with her opinions. I think that this show needs some serious restructuring, and I hope they are able to achieve it. Women need more positive, intelligent media programming.
When Rosie first appeared on the View, it was entertaining as she did some of the same things that she did on her own show several years ago. For instance, giving goodies to the audience and bringing Broadway to the View stage. The really sad thing is that I have changed my opinion about her as she and Joye are way out of line. Both of them want the audience to think the way they do and there isn’t an in between. I won’t watch Rosie any longer as my opinion of her is she has just a big mouth who doesn’t know when to shut up. Rosie’s anger stems from the fact that the majority of The View’s audience likes Elizabeth over her and she isn’t top dog. It’s really too bad what politics do to people.
Rosie is begining to rank on the hatred scale of jane fonda and her lack of support for the troops she needs to loose all ability to use her star power to voice her political views. while i agree thatboth of them looked like fools for fighting you cant be a terioist and hunker your self down with all your family in the same place your making your bombs and running your Cell and then when the place get hit as a target for people to get upset about civilian casualities.
Elisabeth does not come across as a very informed individual. However I have lost all respect for Rosie. I used to like her when she had her own show but, since then she has been nothing but obnoxious! Good riddance to both of them from The View. Barbara I appreciate what you’re trying to do with the show but, it has steadily been going downhill.
Elizabeth is stupid and ill informed, Rosie is smart and well informed. People who have to attack Rosie for her personal issues show themselves to be even more ignorant than Elizabeth. If the only way you can discuss someone is to attack them personally, you are not very smart and you lack facts on your side.
I am offended that the View keeps Elizibeth on the show. She is supposed to represent women of my age group and really quite frankly she embarasses us. She is completely ignorant and brainwashed. Most people I know are VERY tired of her willy-nilly pretend facts that she comes up with conserning the war and the Bush administration. Let’s face it her claim to fame is Survivor, how educated can she be. I have no use for her verbal diarrhea.
Rosie should be admired and appreciated for her efforts to inform the public with ACCURATE information. As for the “Big Fight” , I hope Elizibeth watched it and was able to see how dumb she looked…….really I think she lacks serious comprehension skills.
Rosie good on ya, you thought she was being unsupportive and you called her on it in front of the world.
No one that I know will watch the show anymore.
Rosie is a nasty leg licker I cannot stand her get rid of her.. She should not be able to have any tv show the nasty Lesbo
its like watching 2 idiots talk about something they know nothing about wait a minute thats what it is damn i got hypnotized by rosies chins jiggle
i think rosie has always been honest-not about any agenda other then something worthwhile….i feel that elisabeth is not a good representation of women , or mothers of my age….she is not modern or forward thinking… rosie is a wonderful genuine soul -”mouthy” or not…i hope she does something to keep women,and people in general thinking on a higher level… best of luck to her! elisabeth should go back to the style network or be a stay at home mom who “shops”
well behaved women rarely make history…..godspeed rosie
I am so glad Rosie is gone!! The woman is way out of line and refuses to listen to anything anyone else says. Rosie, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!!!
It is horrible that in today’s society we have to watch some discussing lesbian woman spew her venom across national television. We Americans need to go back to the simpler times when television shows were produced with family values in mind.
i can’t stand elisabeth she is sooo ignorant rosie wasn’t even trying to start with her that little girls voice is just so annoying. i think elisabeth should be fired asap.
The blunt force IGNORANCE coming from all sides on the view is simply mind boggling … all of those women should be dropped of in the middle of the Iraq, I’d really like to see how long it would take for their beheadings. But Rosie would survive, on a count of the fact that Muslims are scared of PIGS, they wouldn’t touch her …
