Rosie claims that she doesn't want to fight anymore, but she was the one always starting on-air flames with anyone and everyone.

With people like her, the left doesn't need opponents. They've already got her.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 >>>O'Donnell just doesn't play well with others<<< This sums up what I've seen of her lately. I've always been a Rosie fan. I started to get a little "whatever" about her during the whole Donald Trump thing and lately I've been muting or fastforwarding when she is on one of her rampages. Just a tad over the edge for me in the am. I'm not a huge Elizabeth fan either but I've watched the View from day one and generally enjoy the banter. If Rosie left 6 months ago I'd miss her, now not so much.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Forgot....Anyone catch the interchange about a week ago when Barbara was talking about the fact that Rosie wouldn't be at the Daytime Emmys? Rosie's self admiration during that segment was the moment I was done with Rosie's "rosiness." You could almost see the steam rising out of Joy's ears
Originally Posted By RoadTrip I don't think much of either Rosie or Elizabeth. Since I never watch the show none of this really makes me any difference. I do believe that Rosie was hired to bring controversy and ratings to the show so no one should be surprised that she did.
Originally Posted By TheRedhead I think Rosie's the only reason to watch the View at all (my wife tivos the show). She's funny and she makes things interesting. Unfortunately she's also abrasive so that when she gets her back up, she's hard to watch. She seemed able to keep it in check for the most part. But that fight though was just way incomfortable. Joy Behar is funny. Maybe it's a New York thing. I liked her stand up. I also liked Rosie's stand up a hundred years ago. The only time I really hated Rosie was during her whole nicey-nice I-love-Tom-Cruise act, which the whole country seemed to love. The new Rosie is honest and a bit insane. And yeah, Rosie has some pretty dopey views, but Elizabeth is such an annoying piece of lint I don't know how anyone could like her. My favorite clip of hers is when she said that when a married man LOOKS at another man, that is cheating. What a maroon. Now that they're losing Rosie, to keep things interesting they should periodically dump slime on Elizabeth whenever she says something stupid. I'd watch again.
Originally Posted By TheRedhead ^^^"when a married man LOOKS at another man..." Um, I meant WOman. I don't think Elizabeth can handle my typo.

Originally Posted By debtee Well I don't see the View is worth watching after Rosie is gone and I won't be making the effort! I used to really like Elizabeth when she was on Survivor and then the early days of her time on the view. However over time she has managed to get me completely frustrated with her political views which she won't keep to herself. I don't give a hoot about American politics on either side, so to tune into the show for entertainment and then have to listen to her droning on and on about the Replican party is annoying! I also believe Elizabeth could have nipped this in the bud when first asked the question about what Rosie said. If you are a friend, you do stick up for your mates. I guess Rosie found out that Elizabeth is not a mate! It's very important in Australia to be a good mate and she failed miserably! Rosie will survive as she's honest and no bull, that's why people like her!
