[Gato Moteado]

at least according to this story:

[Deja Q]

1. That should be very interesting.

:D

[Gato Moteado]

5. elisabeth would last about 5 seconds on the same set as roseanne

barr would knock that little fascist on her ass pretty quickly i think.

[scorpiogirl]

7. That's what I was thinking.

Except she probably wouldn't even last that long. I'm sure she'd quit first.

[Tara_NM]

14. we can hope she would disappear

The best thing the show can do at this point is get rid of that dumber than dirt Elizabeth. Maybe a petition is in order?

[SpiralHawk]

2. "Bring her on" - The people of the United States of America

Surge, baby, surge

[librechik]

3. oooh, I hope she does it! Rosie and Rosie can tag team the *tches!

just sayin...

[swimmernsecretsea]

11. Barbara: We've got Rosie O'Donnell on the line...

Smackdown! Whoo hoo!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Greeby]

4. And they thought Rosie raised hell

After watching Rosanne on Realtime, my advice is to get the :popcorn:

[Warpy]

6. She'd be great!

She'd be another loud working class counterpoint to Hasseltwit's blonde vapidity, barrage of WH talking points, and inability to shut the fuck up and let someone else talk.

I still probably won't watch it, although I might make it through a few of the better clips on You Tube.

[LisaM]

8. Computer says YES!

Bring it on.

[rurallib]

9. Oh please God. I don't ask for much. But this would be so much fun

I think even YOU would enjoy it.

[swimmernsecretsea]

10. Let's get ready to RUMM-BLLLLEEEEE!!! nt

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. I'd start watching!

THAT would be great entertainment!

[YOY]

13. Damn they won't be able to use the 'She's a fat lesbian.' (insult the debater) defense

They will have to just call her 'fat.' Where's the sport in that???

[WI_DEM]

15. the story also mentions Whoopi Goldberg and Bette Midler

as possible replacements.

[Tara_NM]

16. that would be so Fab !

I have always enjoyed Rosanne Barr and would be thrilled to see what she would bring to the show.

[libnnc]

17. "Oh Elizabeth, why don't you just shut the *BLEEP* up!"

I can see it now...oh joy oh fun :applause:

Talk about a woman who WON'T be controlled and doesn't give a flying fuck what ANYONE thinks...:evilgrin:

If it does happen, we should start a pool on how long it would take Rosanne to make the twit cry.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

18. I heard there was somewhere you can "vote" for the host. Anybody know where?

I checked the website and don't see a spot for it.

[Lorien]

19. I hope it happens. The show is so boring now without Rosie

shrill little Elizabeth yammers away about nothing for an hour of wasted air time. There's WAY too much of her on that show. She needs someone like Rosanne to open her eyes (if that's even possible) and get America talking about real issues again.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

20. "The less controversial Shepherd is popular with the show's producers"

I think she's even worse than Hasselbeck. She kept on saying "let's stop talking about politics - let's talk about American Idol" blah-blah-blah."

She's an empty-headed shallow woman.

[MonkeyFunk]

25. damn... it's Sherri Shepherd

for a second I thought maybe it was Cybil Shepherd - she'd be a good choice!

[LisaM]

21. Wait, Whoopi's a possiblity?

I vote for her over Roseanne.

[partylessinOhio]

22. I don't think Roseanne Barr could stomach the lame new direction that

WaWa has taken The View. Today it was about whether the co-hosts have had one night stands. Both WaWa and the daughter of former Congressman Lou Stokes both said they could not remember. Joy refused to answer because uncle so and so was watching. EH said she didn't think so because she was married SO young - out of college and after having her first job. (What has age got to do with it?)

Oh, it was riveting conversation alright. Roseanne would just :puke: at their lying shallow chatter now.

[Gato Moteado]

23. eh said she didn't think so?

doesn't she know whether or not she did?

what is it with these repukes? their memories are always bad when they have to be accountable for something.

[movonne]

24. I haven't watch the show since Rosie left....might give another try

if Barr is on...

[Nicole]

26. That would be must see TV.

I hope she is on there.

[bamacrat]

27. She would say the same things as Rosie..

except with more cussing and she might beat the hell out of the Faux News Cheerleader. Hope she gets it.

[KamaAina]

28. Be careful what you ask for...

...you may get it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseanne_Barr#Gay_Rights_Controversy

On April 6, 2007 Barr made a controversial statement about gay activists during her show on California's KCAA radio. Barr commented that putting measures like gay marriage on ballots for elections only hurts the gay rights cause and elects more conservative politicians. Barr went on to say "And I have never once --and I say I have gay and lesbian people in my family -- never once in my 54 years have I ever once heard a gay or lesbian person who's politically active say one thing about anything that was not about them. They don't care about minimum wage, they don't care about any other group other than their own self because you know, some people say being gay and lesbian is a totally narcissistic thing and sometimes I wonder. I've never heard any of them say anything except for "accept me 'cause I'm gay." It's just, it's screwed. "

Eurghh.

On the other hand, it would sure be interesting to see how Whoopi would deal with the twit -- and my NYC friends, who are performers, know Bette's sister and brother (as do I -- but where's the Kevin Bacon connection? :-) ), so that might get them a shot on national TV, which you would enjoy. A lot.
