Damn it, I've looked everywhere, but I can't find a rat's ass to give. Why is Rosie even relevant anymore. Or Baba Wawa, either, for that matter.

Someday, they'll bring it all into the Octagon for some creamed corn wrestling.

Matt and Meredith (ugh are we really on first name basis with these people? :p) fell for it hook line and sinker this morning talking about the ongoing "feud".

Somewhere in Manhattan Zucker emits a giggle.

Poor Rosie, with absolutely no talent, this type of thing is her only chance at stardom!

@rgspb: Really? I'm not a Rosie fan and I get people not liking her, but she's been pretty successful. And yes, she's had some spectacular bombs, and perhaps she'll never match her prior level of success again, but she's been a "star" in daytime TV. It's not like she's a 15 minute-er clutching for another ten. That said, I have no desire to watch this show.

Stunt or not, Barbara hates all the ladies. Especially Lisa, because she got out without embarrassing herself, and she's indirectly responsible for Elisabeth.

Does anybody else here remember a time when Barbara Walters was a news anchor and people actually discussed how intelligent and serious she had to be to get that position with Harry Reasoner? Do you know how many people put themselves professionally on the line for her to get that job? To see someone tapdance on the grave of their intellect and feminism at the same time and do it all while insisting she is quite venerable is just an insult.

It's like watch MLK do a commercial for Popeye's.

@pareenesobscene: Intelligent? Serious? Like the time she asked Katharine Hepburn what kind of tree she would be?

BTW, Harry Reasoner would make an excellent screen name

@wattznext: That Hepburn thing was in the 80's and the context of the conversation was that Hepburn initially stated she wanted to be a tree and BW responded "What kind of tree?" But I am really referring to the 70's Barbara when there was an actual debate about whether a woman had sufficient gravitas and intellect to anchor a network news program. By the 80's with all that celebrity interview worship crap her career started the nosedive into the crash and burn it is today.

Hairy Reasoner. I like it.

@pareenesobscene: Fair enough, i haven't seen the "tree" interview in some time, so I'll take your word for it.

Question, did Bawbwa always have that Elmer Fudd quality to her voice, or did that develop over time?

I'm sure it's a hoax. Who in the world could hate that lovable and agreeable woman Rosie O'Donell?

@katastic: I do too. I mean I get what Mafalda's saying, but on the other hand Rosie's prickly, bristly nature is part of why I love her, and also it tickles me that people have such violent reactions to her.

Lil'squeakers was not faking for one minute on the View yesteday. She HATES big ol'meanie lesbian Rosie. Rosie is an affront to her daily sensibilities. God, I wish Rosie and Whoopi were a team on the View..

I don't think I've said this enough recently, but I do love you so much, Richard. Today, "ladychat Hindenburg" is the reason why.
