Those are kids coming from poorer families, have limited education, and even those that have had trouble with the law. This isn't a new concept. But now when someone like Rosie bring up this obvious truth, it gets spun into "Rosie is calling the troops poor, stupid and evil".

Which is exactly the kind of spinning that she didn't want to play anymore in the first clip of this thread.

Being an outspoken person today and having opinions are not good characteristic to have these days. Especially if you are a woman.

Holy crap is she ever. In the second video posted by Dion, she claims that "all the evidence prior to the invasion pointed that Iraq was involved with 9/11".

The video was recorded in March 0f 2007. How could anyone believe that?!

I'm certainly no fan of Rosie, but it's clear from watching those videos that Elizabeth is by far the more simple-minded.

I would say that they both look like idiots at times and seem to feel because they know a little about the situations that they are experts, but to me Rosie is clearly the bigger idiot throughout the clips.

If there's anyone who you would expect to side with Elizabeth against Rosie, it would be Donald Trump, but even he agrees that Elizabeth is a moron.

Haha, the Donald wins again. That quote is funny and so true. Both those ladies are morons. They should just cancel the whole show.

I hate Rosie and expected to come into this thread and side with Elisabeth, but it’s Tough to choose sides with her after hearing her spew all that bush bull . and to hear her using the football analogy, i couldn't help but think that she was giving her husbands opionin rather than her own.

Although Rosie is a rude little pig, Hasselbeck is drinking the GWB Kool-Aid. The only positive out of this thing was Trumps reaction. What a beauty.

"Elizabeth Hasslebeck could be one of the dumbest people on television"

With Rosie out of there, Barbara Wawa should bring Trump on there to guest host.

That's the thing, I don't think they do.

But I guess it's better than Regis.

Well the article I read said the ratings had gone up since O'Donnell joined. Or something.

The National Enquirer of TV?

I don't agreed with her viewpoints but at least she was arguing the issue as opposed to Rosie who was upset because Hasselbeck didn't "stand up for her" and was acting like a 12 year old.

What's wrong with Regis? He seems like a nice enough fellow, and has been entertaining on the few occasions I've caught his show.

I only watched the View because of her but that doesn't matter because on a recent episode she said she did not extend her contract.

My understanding from Articles I have read, Rosie was not kicked off the show. Rosie asked to be released early from her contract. The View did not kick her off.

As for the show, I bet the show tanks without Rosie.

EDIT forgot the Link

http://www.people.com/people/article...040410,00.html

"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave," Brian Frons, president of ABC Daytime, said in a statement."

I think Rosie has a good grasp of the Iraq situation.

His show would be good for putting people to sleep. Talk about a boring show.
