Celebrity Feuds
Kathy Griffin Dishes on Rosie

The straw that broke Rosie O'Donnell's "View" back? According to Rosie pal Kathy Griffin, O'Donnell grew incensed when "View" producers chose to sensationalize the recent on-air fight between Ro and co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck -- with a split screen graphic. Curiously, Griffin told People, it was the show's technical decision that pushed O'Donnell over the edge. "I said, 'What was it really?'" recalled Griffin. "'The split-screen." She said, 'I don't want to do "Hannity and Colmes."

Griffin, who's filled-in twice for O'Donnell in the past few weeks on "The View," dished about Rosie's reason for leaving to a sold out crowd at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel and Casino.

Griffin also revealed that O'Donnell's hatred of Hasselbeck might not run so deep. When Rosie heard that Donald Trump had called Hasselbeck "stupid," she expressed sadness. "She doesn't even hate Elisabeth," said Griffin.

46. I am not a advocate of this war WILSON...it is unjust!
Of coarse it is not voluntary.....but I ask you this, all of the men and woman that so voluntary stepped up to the plate when they did, I believe did not know they would be sent to this unjust war in Iraq to get killed or have body parts blown off. How many wish they were back in the US right now as I speak.
I would not volunter nor would I allow my children to fight for something so wrong!!!!
Let me remind you.....3,400+ dead and how many wounded for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

47. ROSIE doesn't deserve all the nasty comments that are being made about her. Either you agree with her or you don't. It's supposed to be a free country...isn't it?
If you are glad she's gone, enjoy 'The View'. It won't last long without her.

Why is it that the ultra conservative and religious right wingers always make the nastiest remarks about people and are always on the attack?

48. To #34 "You have been watching too much Fox News"
Dear Chattyida
I have not read in any blog where anyone is devoted to one news outlet. Your taking your pre conceived ideas and assumptions and running your mouth with them. How's that for forming a sentence with out name calling?

You proceed to make the next remark in the same post

"Why is it that the ultra conservative and religious right wingers always make the nastiest remarks about people and are always on the attack"

It is a free country indeed, Maybe your uncomfortable at how free it really is? Would like to contol the freedom a little maybe?

51. Of course, she hated the Split Screen. We were able to see someone standing up against her and try to debate and discuss issues from a different point of view.
Normally, they just show Rosie, she makes faces, spews idiotic remarks and stares at the audience waiting for them to 'approve' and applaud her. She is just a dog and pony show who intimadates the hell out of people when they LET her. I think the both of them were behaving crazy, but, Rosie is mad like a spoiled rich person who couldn't have their own way because of their puffed up self image.

53. I hold many of the same views as Ms. O'Donnell. Unfortunately, her very personality has made me feel ashamed and embarrassed to be a liberal. This woman practically foams at the mouth when others disagree with her. She abuses her position as moderator of "The View" to repeatedly cut others off (including the show's guests in the middle of a sentence), quickly get in the last word and go on to another subject.

Indeed, she has brought higher ratings to the show...people like to be entertained by watching others so out of control. Jerry Springer learned this a long time ago.

Ms. O'Donnell needs to grow up, revamp her medication and learn that people are entitled to opinions contrary to hers.

55. Why is it everyone to get their point accross has to revert to name calling. We are a beauty obsessed nation. Does it matter what Rosie looks like personally? All of you who are saying all these horrible things about her are wasting your time here instead of putting your money where your mouths are and be out there looking after the damaged troops, physically and mentally, that are returning to our country everyday from this war. Check your facts and really see what Rosie does for our troops and you may find yourselves a little ashamed ,if any of you have that capability, we should all be as caring and generous as her. The people that criticize the most are the ones that are out there doing nothing.

lol Thank you, #14.! Rosie is just a circumutilating, hypocritical, thin-skinned bitch!

57. Rosie is honest enough to speak her mind.
I just wish the rest of the panel on the View
would do the same. The only reason I watched
the show was Rosie brought sense
intellegence, and compassion to the otherwise boring show.
Rosie the world is a better place having you in it.,
God Bless..

"You say of course its not voluntary?"
We have in this country a volunteer army.
"You say when they stepped up to the plate they didnt know they were going into an unjust war"
Most every democract including Kerry,both clintons and even the favorite liberal Howard Dean voted FOR the war.When of course it was "Popular" to do it.When you join the military its for the soul purpose of protecting our country.
"You say let me remind you of the 3400 killed "
Let me remind you of the 3000 killed in America on 9/11and the countless people that joined our Voluntary military after 9/11 to go protect me and you,so that you can sit here and whine about it.
