11. I use the term "bicker" in relation to men and especially my children all the time. I
love it. It rhymes with so many other things. Like: Snicker, sicker, kicker, wicker, flicker, picker, ... feel free to add your own "..icker" rhyming words.

I do so love a good rhyme.

59. Amen to that
EH comes across as a VERY immature woman on a regular basis which is one of the reasons that I have never liked her as the 20's-30's generation representative on "The View". Her Donald Trump comment to Rosie today forever sealed how indefensible her position is in regards to the war debate.

She is a hero to lots of us lesbians.

Some people just cannot handle large, outspoken, in-your-face lesbians or straight women, for that matter. Sexism always rearing it's ugly-assed head.

I agree it seems that the more outspoken a woman is the more people want her to shut up. Im sorry but Rosie says things that most people think. Its time someone shut up that Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I love Rosie. Joy is okay too.. I LOVE LESBIANS!

24. What English dialect do you speak?
In the language I learned, both men and women can, and do, bicker. Also, men and women can bicker at each other. Quit looking for offense where there is none.

33. Men are rarely described as 'bickering'. Not as bad as 'catfight', but bicker suggests triviality
or insignificance.

38. sorry, but "rarely" does not imply gender specificity
Unless you are saying that it is sexist to describe an argument between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck as trivial.

I just finished reading Harry Potter to my niece, and the male characters are described as "bickering" all over the place. Of course, that could just be J.K. Rowling trying to break gender stereotypes... :eyes:

42. Actually, Rowley said she does like to go against the grain on things like that.
Also, the book is about kids.

Bickering is over trivial things, and men are rarely accused of bickering.

46. It's "Rowling" and she's often criticized for *reinforcing* stereotypes.
Here's some more data:

Google search for "men" and "bickering"
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=men+bickering&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

1,200,000 hits



Google search for "women" and "bickering"
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=women+bickering&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

1,020,000 hits


That's less, right? Or is the use of "less" in this context sexist?

49. Rowling, yes! Sorry. Rowling said she doesn't give a **** about what people think...
and she likes to write to provoke at times.

Trivial arguments are described as 'bickering', otherwise, they be 'arguments' or 'disputes'.

as gender-specific. It does imply a frivolous argument, but hey...it is daytime TV, not the presidential debates.

This particular exchange is remarkable for being loud and long, but very little is actually said.

129. If you think these two are debating like adults, that's your opinion.
I think they both come off like asses, as usual.

Rosie, as usual makes a completely incoherent argument for "our" side.

Funny how when she was ripping on Bill Clinton a few years back, she was able to make sense.

If I remember right, Rosie was 100% behind dumbya after 9-11, too.


Bickering and yelling is what they are doing in this piece.

"You did this, but I geve tou a chance to do this, NO! NO! You did that!"

Hasselcrack is a twit. A real liberal woman would have made minced meat out of her.

Rosie's just about Rosie. She's only a liberal when she feels like it.

191. The first thing I think of in the use of that term is for a married couple
As in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith bicker a lot" or calling a couple that fights alot "The Bickertons." I thought bickering actually required a male participant.

Another term with deep dark implications. I hope they at least bickered articulately.

2. Say what you will about "the View" but Rosie
has brought more to this show in the last nine months, than anyone, ANYONE has in the last nine years. I've watched this show from day one and it finally has removed the "fluff" and gotten down to business with the facts of what this administration has done to our country and it is because Rosie has had the courage to put it out there...

Bottom line.

And as for Elizabeth Hasselbeck, she's a puppet for the GOP, always has been and is even more so now since she has been a guest a the WH dinner. Can't stand her..."views"

60. re the WH dinner comment
It just floored me that she was invited to the dinner for the Queen. Imagine all that people with actual credentials (unlike EH whose top accomplishment prior to "The View" was being on a reality tv show) Certainly there must have been some better or more deserving rightwingers than EH that could have sat in her seat at that dinner.

106. actually, maybe it's fitting that she was there
let's face it, the idea of a queen is just so ridiculous. i'm always so baffled at the fact that so many european countries have retained their ceremonial monarchies. it just seems to be something you wouldn't be proud of. additionally, these fake monarchies are such a drain on the economies of these countries. think of what good they could do with all the money and real estate that the royal family sits on in england.

that her RW positions are a good foil for Rosie? Without the other extreme, she wouldn't have the opportunities to state her positions as forcefully. Echo chambers are boring.

...to meaningless fluff with occasional political pontificating. Hopefully she did reach an audience that we doesn't often reach.

But it helps to be coherent. This was not coherent.

There are other times, like this one, where she comes off almost as bad as Hasselcrack.

Hasselcrack is just an airhead - she sounds like some high school girl parroting the talking points she learned from her dad.

30. No. It's because she can't think for herself
She can't give a yes or no answer because she is too afraid (cowardly, if you will!) to say "yes", which is the answer that has already been provided for her by others.

It was quite clear that EH was caught off guard and didn't have a pre planned and pre approved GOP response to Rosie's question today.

Either that or she knew how intensely negative the studio audience would have been toward her if she had spit out what she wanted to say today. Maybe she was frightened to be boo-ed on live tv ???

8. awesome
I love Rosie, and you know what, as a man, i only started watching this show when she came on. I don't care if she is opinionated...she is a smart and talented woman and i respect her opinion. She does research and forms her own opinion and doesn't repeat mindless garbage like Hasselback does. I wish Rosie was staying but I get the feeling they pushed her out. Rosie and Joy need to leave the view and form their own show, that would be interesting. I like to see people debating and sometimes they do scream over each other but this is a time to be OUTRAGED and when that guest co-host said that is the reason she watches dancing with the stars, it wasn't something to be cheered, it was something to be jeered. Putting your head in the sand and trying to ignore it will not make it go away people. it is time to face the truth head on that we as a nation and a world are spiraling out of control.

Never thought this show would ever produce some of the most intense opinions on tv, its just awesome.

19. Well-said. I agree.
Furthermore, I'd like Rosie (and Joy, if she wishes) to have a political show a la Bill Maher's 'Real Time' on HBO. I would truly enjoy Rosie interviewing the guests that appear on FreeSpeechTV, for example.

I never watched a minute of The View before Rosie started articulating what I feel inside. Go, Rosie!

EH never belonged on the show to begin with, imho. Even before things got all hot politically. That woman has the emotional and intellectual equivalent of a high school freshman student. She was fine for doing the fluff cooking and fashion stuff but otherwise she is not appropriate for the show content.

162. Don't worry ... with all the Rosie fans tuning out, and the E. Hussyback
fans tuning in, the ratings will tank ... and the network will try to "fix" it by hiring more RW shills ... not understanding what they're doing wrong ...

Local RW radio DJ thinks HE'S the reason why the morning spot in Akron gets the good ratings ... but it's funny ... he gets the "women" ratings ... probably because of the female co-host ... not because of him ... station plays what's put up as latest mass-market "hits" ... Mrs. ZBDent has been tuning him out lately ... she's praying for music ...

10. Rosie needs to pick her friends better.
Her feelings are hurt because she thought EH was her friend. Rosie has been too generous toward EH over the past year and now it has come back to bite her. Rosie doesn't understand how Rethugs work (don't work) emotionally.

Also, Rosie is totally being played by Barbara Walters, EH and the executive producer of the show for ratings in the final month. My guess is they are trying to elevate EH in the public view with the idea being to move EH into Rosie's chair.

BW and her producer are "wasting" Rosie for self promotion. EH is a willing tool. I hope that Rosie has figured it out this week. Her final weeks are going to be a living hell.

71. too true
I agree that Rosie has been fooled into thinking that EH was or is any sort of real friend. I think Rosie tried to be open minded and have a loving heart but EH is not a good person and so EH abused the situation.

I don't agree that EH will get the mod chair on the view. Think what you will of Barbra Walters but she is not a stupid woman and would never put EH in the mod chair for at least two basic reasons:

a) EH is simply not a very bright woman
b) the show would lose huge amounts of it's mostly liberal/progressive audience

90. no- Rosie's fine- it is her friend that need's to do some
personal inventory and make some changes in how she treats others.

If Rosie changes who she is, in response to mz.Haselback's self-righteous hormone fueled sniping, then Rosie'd be allowing hasslebeck to control her- I think Rosie behaved just fine. I think her friend was shrill, rude, and overbearing.- not to mention w r o n g.

116. I didn't say Rosie needs to change - I said she needs to pick
her friends better. I stand by that. Rosie and EH are no longer socializing outside of the show - which is as it should be. After today I doubt that Rosie will ever speak to her again other than during the show.

EH really hurt Rosie's feelings and Rosie (being an adult) today provided EH an opportunity to fix her mistake. It didn't happen and that was EH's last chance. EH is not capable of understanding what, or even that, she has done something wrong. EH and George Bush both suffer from NPD.

Rosie just needed to give EH that final opportunity and then she can walk away knowing that friendship has no meaning for EH.

We all make mistakes in picking our friends. Our task as upright Homo sapiens is to learn to recognize sooner when we have made a mistake and react accordingly. Rosie has reacted appropriately.

188. not to nit-pick, but you actually did- if you meant
the statement "Rosie needs to pick her friends better".

My position on this is: Rosie extended the hand of friendship to hassleback- Something many people wouldn't do- hassleback's positions, narcissism (i agree NPD) and past- would be enough of an "excuse" not to 'be-friend' her.

But that ISN'T who Rosie is- and that reality is part of what endears Rosie (to me personally)- Her exuberance, spontaneity, willingness to be ..... rash? To take risks that sometimes end up hurting her in the end- (and can hurt others) is not 'bad'- It is part and parcel of who she is- and I wouldn't want her to change that part of herself because she got hurt- If she did, she would be more like hassleback demonstrates herself to be- one who cares only for those who meet her 'standards' of being 'worthy of notice'-- exclusive- conservative with her compassion and caring

and the world, - particularly this country, has far too many of that kind already.

I wish Rosie had kept the focus on issues that relate to the rest of us instead of wasting precious air time chastizing Hasselcrack for her nasty behavior.

People on the right will still think Hasselcrack was right and that Rosie should have explained herself.

And obviously a lot of us on the left are lining up behind Rosie, no matter how little she did to avance understanding on the war in that exchange.

I like Rosie, but she's no Amy Goodman.

They're taking their act on the road this summer (hopefully working out the details soon). Tell them to come to your town to blog!

17. rosie has no game.....
she's been unable to shut down the little blond nazi from the beginning. the nazi just repeats the same old fox news talking points and rosie never has an answer. rosie's too emotional and never thinks about what she's saying. their exchanges look like two 3rd graders yelling at each other in the school yard. it's hard to watch.

wasn't it lisa loeb that made the little nazi boot licker cry without even trying?

i hope they replace rosie with a real ass kicker. a true intelligent, progressive would mop up the floor with the little nazi ann coulter wannabe.

21. what good could my suggestions possibly do?
the producers of the show don't care what i think. my guess is that they like rosie because she provides an even playing field for dimbulb elizabeth. rosie is so emotional that she speaks before she thinks and invariably sounds stupid. because of that, the ridiculous crap coming out of elizabeth's mouth goes unnoticed.

to be honest, as a comedian rosie is lame also. i'm really not sure how she became so successful. and how does a tard like elizabeth get successful? this show couldn't get real talent so they make do with the lame cast they have. i imagine the really talented people wouldn't waste their time being a part of the show.

the show sucks....it's four people that have no idea what they're talking about yelling at each other without listening to what anyone else has to say. how is it different from garbage like hannity and colmes?

72. look, i don't dislike rosie.......
....i'm sure she's a very nice person in real life. and i think it's great that she's on the good side of the political fence.

but, she opens her mouth and tries her hand at political discussion and debate. it doesn't matter that she's not a pundit or political hack or whatever. she opens her mouth and represents the left and she does a poor job of it, and i have every right to express my feelings about that. if you can't bury a mental midget like elizabeth hasselbeck, then you've got no game at all. if rosie is a comedian, then she should stick to comedy, though, my guess is that well is dry. she's just not funny.

if she wants to be a talk show host then that's fine. be a talk show host. but when she opens up her uninformed mouth and tries to represent the left, it makes me shudder. and when she and elizabeth get into shouting matches it sounds like two little kids with their feelings hurt lashing out at each other. it's unwatchable. barbara walters should have her ass kicked for subjecting the viewers to that nonsense.

97. i can see it's become personal now.....
....with your shift lock comment. typing in all lower case is just my style and has been for years. if i were writing a business document or letter, then certainly i'd use mixed case letters. but i'm just typing messages on an internet forum. we don't need style police here. furthermore, why would i use the shift lock key unless i wanted to type in all caps to make it appear that i am yelling? i guess you mean the shift key....not the shift lock key.

as for your other points:

"So - You are not a viewer, however, you advise that the viewers should not be subjected to that nonsense."

yes, i think it's a fair statement to say that the viewers of "the view" are subjected to nonsense when they see rosie and elisabeth arguing like third graders. i got sick of hearing rosie keep asking elisabeth if she really thinks rosie thinks the troops are terrorists. rosie doesn't need elizabeth's approval for anything. if rosie doesn't think the troops are terrorists she should be able to state that on her own and turn the argument around and shove it down elizabeth's throat. if rosie is such a great comedian, you would think she'd know how to do this. i'd hate to see her doing a standup act when a heckler decides to give her some shit. the crybaby third grade routine won't get her very far in a comedy club. let elizabeth hasselbeck try that kind of garbage with bill maher, lewis black, jon stewart, stephen colbert, doug stanhope, whoopi goldberg, robin williams, sara silverman, george carlin or one of many other real comedians and see what happens. i guarantee there will be no "i know you are but what am i?" bickering going on.

"Are you even thinking about what you are posting."
well, first of all, since you were so concerned about my improper use of lower case letters and kind enough to correct me, let me remind you that the "?" key is near the lower right hand side of your keyboard and that a "?" should appear at the end of each question. a "." usually follows statements, not queries.
ok, now that we've got that out of the way...yes, of course i think about what i am posting. i think my opinion is just as valid as yours. i never attacked you, i just expressed how i felt about rosie and somehow you feel insulted by that and feel the need to attack me personally. i guess it's ok to post in a thread about rosie o'donnell as long as the poster agrees with you.

"Are you the censor God?"
i'm not sure what a censor god is. i'm not trying to be a censor. i do, however, think that if "the view" wants to be taken seriously then the producers should come up with some better ideas on how to use the limited time they have to entertain and inform viewers. four people yelling over each other is neither entertaining nor informative. it reminds me of the kind of crap you see on fox news. if you enjoy it, then that's great. you'll keep on watching it and that's fine. i won't watch it, and that's fine too. of course, i couldn't watch it even if i wanted to watch since i can't get the channel it's on where i live. i will watch the videos that people post from the show when i get a chance and if i feel like it i will even comment about it. i probably won't have the same opinion about it as you will, but everyone is different.

"Thanks for trying to protect me and others from watching a non-political person do poor political work. Geez."
i'm not trying to protect you from anything. i'm just pointing out that when rosie (who has positioned herself as a spokesperson for the left) opens her mouth on that show, she isn't doing the left a service. i think her heart is in the right place. i just think she makes herself an easy target for the right wing smear machine. you obviously feel differently, and that's cool. and, i have a hard time respecting a show that would have someone as empty headed and rude as elizabeth hasselbeck as a co-host. it's an insult to intelligent viewers. and, i think it's even worse that there's nobody on the show that is able to put the little nazi in her place once and for all. i'm glad that you're getting enjoyment out of the show and i hope you continue to get enjoyment from it. obviously people are watching the show....they have sponsors. so, don't worry, my opinion won't make or break the show.

one more thing: i watched the extended clip in the other thread. i saw joy's opening rant about bush and i think she expressed herself very well. unfortunately, the little nazi kept interrupting her and talking over her and eventually joy got a bit flustered from it. i really wanted to see joy take a sock and shove it in elizabeth's mouth. the chick sitting next to rosie was annoying too. i'm not sure who she was but she had nothing interesting to add to the conversation that joy was trying to strike up. i really think the show could be so much better.

31. Rosie is a comedian. EH is a political operative. Duh.
Rosie is not playing the same game that EH, BW and the network is.

Barbara W. is not going to get a progressive - BW is a right wing shill. How do you think BW has gotten all of the interviews with domestic biggies and permission (I assume from both the WH and State Department) for all of her interviews with foreign big shots? She plays it anyway her Masters want it.

56. EH is nothing more than a dumb non-celebrity blonde who OD on the grape kool-aid
I'd hardly put her in the same category as Coulter, Malkin, Ingram, etc.

If it wasn't for Survivor, Ms. Hasselbeck would be nothing more than a wife to a seat warmer in the NFL. (worse yet, a seat warmer whose brother is actually very talented)

145. well Fox is where she belongs
I am all for free speech and fair consumer marketplace and thus I think FoxNews is the place for EH. There she can be with her own kind (scum, imo) say what she pleases and be employed by a company that is supported by a like minded consumer base.

"The View" is in my book just simply the wrong venue for someone like EH.

Rosie makes Elisabi*ch look like the TOTAL asinine fool she is! Rosie has no doubt made millions of people in this country sit up and question what's happening and look deeper for answers than the Faux bullshit that Elisabi*ch spews out! Have you even listened to the audience reaction to what Rosies says? They are behind her close to 100% Very few support Elisabi*ch!

I credit Rosie with making a HUGE difference in this country politically. The tide has turned and she is a major reason why! We are losing big time with her leaving the show!

as any DUer and she can kick some serious ass!

Rosie's heart and soul are in the right place but she often has a hard time articulating what she means. She also gets too defensive.

41. BW would never hire Roseanne Barr - she knows she can't
control her.

From day one BW has controlled Rosie because she knows (l) that Rosie grew up without a mother and BW could pretend to fill that void (2) Rosie has a big soft heart (3) Rosie wants to be liked and to do the right thing.

BW is evil and Rosie was very easy for her to manipulate. Rosie respected BW because of her public image - she had no idea what kind of a private shit storm she was walking into.

In short, Roseanne is not good victim material for BW.

She doesn't take shit from anyone. I and I see that sensitive side of Rosie too. I wouldn't be surprised if she cries after the show sometimes.

You can't take this crap too personally. It's about ending the war, not Rosie's and Lizardbreath's personal feelings toward each other.

163. Rosie does blog about crying after the show.
She is also tough on herself about being loud and getting caught up in the emotion. Rosie suffers from depression and has recently blogged about needing a time out. She is really miserable and knows she has short-timers disease.

The pundits can't be nearly as tough on Rosie as she will be on herself today and this evening. She really hates it when she is that emotional on the show.

But honestly I think Joy Behar often gets the left's side across better than Rosie. She expresses it in a way that a lot of middle-class working women 30-55 can relate to.

I think she's smarter than people give her credit for, even if she doesn't always let it out.

47. Joy started out the show by trying to talk about impeachment.
She read a long list of impeachable offenses - including the statement that Bush stole the 2000 election. She lead into her bit by talking about Al Gore's appearance on Larry King last night. Joy said she was angry at Al because he won't run.

EH kept trying to interrupt Joy while she was reading the two page list and Joy kept telling her to be quiet. Then Rosie and EH got into it about what Rosie DID NOT said about our troops being terrorists - this is a continuation of a discussion over at least three shows and also involves BW (who also owes Rosie and apology) but BW has been hiding by not being back on the show. Rosie was seeking an apology from EH for not standing up for her because Rosie has stood up for EH in the past. The argument went on and on and on between Rosie and EH and Joy kept trying to regain control of the show.

Joy knew before today's show started that tensions are running really, really high; hurt feelings are overriding rational thought; and the situation is toxic both back stage and on stage. She was trying to take control and avoid exactly what happened today. And yes, Joy did get mad - after all she is staying on the show and will be surrounded by BW, EH and an executive producer and all have an agenda. I think Joy's days are numbered.

In my mind, the really bad actor here is BW - a lying piece of shit.

Yeah, that was the BEST PART of the whole thing. And Elizabeth was trying to read over Joy's shoulder while Joy was rattling off the list...gotta get those Republican talking points in line. She wouldn't shut up and let Joy read.

Elizabeth's an offensive little twit. And, as a woman, I find it disgusting that she allows her pregnancy to be used as a form of defense, as in, "Don't disagree with what I might say, because I'm gravid, and I might pop an umbilical vein if I have to throw a tantrum in response."

I really don't like her.

And it kind of irritates me that MSM will run with the Rosie/betty booboo thing when the important points that Joy made will fade. Like her telling Elizabeth that she had just presented her with facts when Elizabeth said that she prefers facts over emotion.

Here's the thing, Elizabeth has no flipping idea that she's being used by the WH. Used (going to those dinners) because stay at home moms, grandparents, retirees and others watch that show, it has great ratings and it's another way to get their spinning across. I think she should go on maternity leave now. It's obviously too much for her.

The media enjoy playing up Rosie's "hotheadedness," so they're going to spin this as "That mean ol' Rosie once again goes on the warpath, and this time it's against the sweet lil' pregnant woman."

Forget the Rosie/Elizabeth fight...the most substantial part of the whole thing was Joy advocating IMPEACHMENT AND Gore entering the race...let's hope that the show's audience listened to Joy and ignored all of the other static. I find Joy to be the most likeable person on the show...always have. I hope that people heard what she was saying.

151. I dodn't know Hasslcrack was preggers, but she is not sweet.
She has absolutely ZERO grasp of the facts and should really refrain from spouting talking points about the war, because she hasn't the faintest idea of what she's talking about.

The fact that she twists it around to make it all about whether or not ROSIE called our guys terrorists, shows that she thinks the lives of the 650,000 (I think the real number is 65,000) innocent Iraqis dead because of our illegal invasion.

On all the issues, Rosie is right, and she's basically right in this argument, too, but that doesn't make this shoutfest a good use of airtime, IMO.

160. You don't believe the British medical journal The Lancet?
More than 650,000 people have died in Iraq since the U.S. led invasion of the country began in March of 2003. This is according to a new study published in the scientific journal, The Lancet. The study was conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Al Mustansiriya University in Baghdad. Researchers based their findings on interviews with a random sampling of households taken in clusters across Iraq. The study is an update to a prior one compiled by many of the same researchers. That study estimated that around 100,000 Iraqis died in the first 18 months after the invasion.

The number really IS 650,000.

Rosie is RIGHT on the number.

161. That's not what I read - 650,000 since Gulf War 1 maybe.
Including those we starved during the sanctions, but last I heard the Lancet was saying that the civilian casualties IN THIS war were 100,000.

The official numbers of dead civilians are around 65,000.

Not disputing what you're saying, but I haven't seen links with those numbers.


(not that is has any bearing on R & EH's argument)

http://www.juancole.com/2006/10/655000-dead-in-iraq-since-bush.html

Now 8 months after this study and since Iraqi deaths if anything have gone UP considerably that number should be well lover 700,000 and that being conservative.

I read the links and acknowledged the likely accuracy of the figures.

What else do you want?

I have been as amphatically against this war as anyone, and honestly, 100 innocent civilians and 100,000 innocent civilians killed in an unnecessary and immoral war are the same thing to me. Kill one person and you kill the universe.

The 35,000 figure was the most recent I had read. Excuse the hell out of me.


I also got several items wrong on the political quiz, so I guess that means I'm an idiot not worthy of posting here....

obvious after watching the tape that Rosie was in the right to continue her questioning of that female, the outright ignoring of such a simple question should make it easy to put the blame where it should and does lie but I have no doubt once again Rosie will be made fun of by the media, sickens me honestly....

She has more heart and fire than most people that I know and I applaud her efforts to question what is going on in today's Amerika and though her and say John Stewart are comedians they are not always looking for a laugh though laughter seems to be the only thing one can do these days in order to remain someone sane when attempting to make sense out of all that is going on in our nations capital.

It really is sickening that far too many Americans continue to ignore the truth because of not only laziness but selfishness since it is more than obvious most people don't care about a certain issue unless it someday touches them personaly, I have no sympathy for those people, none at all.

172. Completely reinforces why I NEVER watch that show. What a pant-load of non-speak.
Given all the DU buzz today, I finally caved and watched the YouTube.

What a pathetic display on both sides. Screaming, inarticulate people, all revved up and wrapped up in their own egos.
Why is this gettin so much play here on DU? It's amateur hour.

This....is what TV has devolved to.

174. Rosie is inarticulate to you? Funny, she seems to be more articulate than most of our congresspeople
Especially on the Iraq issue.

179. Yeah... right.....
In three more weeks when Rosie is gone....we won't hear ANYONE use the word IMPEACHMENT on network TV! NOBODY will ask questions about 9/11. We'll get back to sanity: we are good they are evil we are good they are evil we are good they are evil.......

195. Non Speak Would Be Latest Weight Loss or Women Who Cheat
or some other Dr. Phil type gibber. Everyday on The View there is discussion about Bush, Iraq Occupation or other important matters. There's more debate on this one hour all women's show than on most so-called news channels.

Sometimes when discussing on-going occupation and Bush, voices get loud and louder. Especially when you're dealing with a Hannity type female and one completely ill informed guest host who pooh, poohs the importance of what's going on in our country.

201. All I saw was two people screaming over each other, nearly driven to tears and personally insulting
each other.

The topic matters not. Could have been a Springer show. I just don't have time for it. And I certainly won't get into a flame war over a silly television show.

199. Both Rosie and Elizabeth are losers
That can't hold a rational conversation on national TV. They are two hacks that look for controversy by reinforcing the worst stereotypes people have about people in both sides of the aisle.

She is about the only one out there that will speak to an issue.

202. We obviously disagree
Both Elizabeth and Rosie are detrimental to their causes, because they trivialize the issues they discuss by making them some sort of spectacle. It's the same thing Jon Stewart criticized Begala and Tucker for doing on Crossfire.

Edited on Thu May-24-07 12:10 PM by Katzenkavalier
You are bringing something to this argument that has NOTHING to do with my opinion or what I have said. You are bringing Rosie's sexual orientation for no reason at all, because it doesn't have anything to do with my take on her and Elizabeth.

Is Elizabeth a mouthy "lezzie" too? Or maybe she is just a mouthy Republican hack?

That's what's bad. I sometimes use that affectionately. Didn't she even know she was supposed to call us "big honkin' lesbos"...not "mouthy lezzies"... The quality of trolls has really gone downhill.

and any public TV debate where "dissent" is allowed is great. Consider if this happened in 02/03/04/05, this debate wouldn't exist.

I didn't notice this yesterday but I saw a youtube clip this morning that pointed out that vegan Alicia Silverstone refused to shake EH's hand when Alicia came out on the stage for her segment.

Here is the clip link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoFH-BAHqN4

242. Honestly, I got tired of their bickering...
I think Rosie does it mostly for attention even though she's right on target with the little freeping blonde. The last time I watched them go at it, I got a headache and turned off the TV. Haven't watched them since.
