Rosie O'Donnell Leaving “The View”

Well, that lasted, actually, longer than even we expected. Just at her one-year anniversary mark, Rosie O'Donnell will be leaving Barbara Walter's gabfest, "The View."

There are, of course, the official reasons, which have been listed as “contract trouble.” But O’Donnell’s statement paints a different picture: ''My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me.'' Which is, apparantly, the right to say any damn thing she pleases.

By the time the show aired this morning, things had calmed down considerably, when O'Donnell said that she wanted to stay for one more year, and ABC wanted three. So she decided to leave, although she said she will appear occasionally next season for things like a planned one-hour special on autism.

''It just didn't work,'' she said, ''and that's show biz. But it's not sad because I loved it here and I love you guys and I'm not going away.''

O'Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show invented by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused continual controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump that placed Walters squarely in the middle.

Why call Rosie fat? That is the same thing Donald Trump did. People can disagree with her politics or views but why does the word fat in any form have to do with anything?

Why call her fat? Cause she IS! Shes fatheaded AND disgusting both on the inside AND the outside! But thats not why I, and most of America, hate her-its cause shes unfunny, untalented, uneducated, loud-mouthed, rebel rousing, radical-anarchistic, and ugly to boot! But I'm just getting started,lol! Praise the Lord shes on her way to oblivion!

Personally I thought Rosie was the best thing to happen to the View. Unlike the loser that was bashing her most Americans must of liked her since the ratings went up 17% after she joined the show.
