Pick of the Herd: Rosie O'Donnel

Go watch this, then come right back. I’ll be here.

There might just have been a time when for about 15 seconds Rosie O’Donnel was (intentionally) funny for someone. I can’t tell you when that was, or who it was but it must have happened because she sure didn’t get to be a celebrity because of her looks, taste or intelligence.

Me? I think she is a sort of mascot the attractive people in show-biz keep tossing work too so they can kid themselves that the don’t care about looks or health.

No doubt every time a few of the jet set are laying around doing cocaine off the taught, nubile skin of some slamming hot groupie they high five each other for being open minded enough to have friends like Rosie.

Similarly the folks who run The View seem to have put her in as a sort of feminist credibility penance for putting someone actually attractive on the show to balance out the old lady smell. I mean if YOU could trade Star Jones in for Rosie O’Donnel and at least one cute girl who still has periods in the same amount of tonnage wouldn’t you do it?

As fun as it is to pick on Rosie’s numerous flaws the sad fact is that over the last year or two she has been losing her mind. My personal opinion is that she hasn’t really twigged to the fact that her Hollywood friends don’t really mean half the anti-US bullshit they spout and she is just trying to fit in by turning into a barking moonbat. Combine this with a lot of free time to run her mouth on The View and you couldn’t do more to help the Republicans if you tried.

Rosie’s self destruction first became widespread knowledge with the backlash over her famous “Ching Chong” incident. Now the thing there is she has a long history of screaming “racist!” at anyone who might tell racially oriented joke. When she herself does it it isn’t her problem, it’s her targets for not ‘getting it’. By far the most insightful response to her on the topic came from YouTube user beausia who posted an amazing 2+ minutes of commentary that is awesome for both content and style.

There are other postcards from the edge. The single most amazing was recently when she decided to spill out the moonbat grand unified conspiracy theory. It’s like she swallowed a twinkie that had an extra copy of that silly “Loose Change” video in it. Any evidence contrary to this insanity is summarily ignored in the Rosieverse. In case your wondering why the government destroyed the WTC? It was to get at WTC 7 and wipe out evidence of Enron and tax fraud… obviously. Because clearly there might not have been a way to do that without killing a few thousand people. None of this makes the once respected Barbara Walters look any better as she sinks into obscurity.

Not only was 9/11 a conspiracy but the British have are to blame for the kidnapping of their own sailors and if only the world would leave poor little old Iran in peace we would see what wonderful, honest and reasonable people they are.

In case your wondering

I wish it was a joke. I wish she was kidding. She isn’t. My prediction? Rosie gets fired and does some time in rehab claiming that she was on some medication for the last year to try and treat her ‘depression’. I think we can all agree that hanging upside down for 30 minutes a day isn’t helping.
