I always knew he was an asshole, but I didn’t think he was this big an asshole until I saw this [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGZaCnfNgLE). Now, I’m not a huge Rosie fan, but what she [said](http://www.toptensources.com/topten/The-View/?gclid=CKrDkNeOpIkCFRvqgAod8AbrLg) about him was right. As much of a idiot as Rosie is, Trump is exponentially worse. ---

Rosie v. The Donald? Could it be a death match? The one who dies second wins? ---

Here’s what RO said: > [@](#): > > O’Donnell, co-host of the ABC television morning talk show “The View,” said on Wednesday’s show that Trump’s news conference with Tara Conner had annoyed her “on a multitude of levels.” > > “Left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times, but he’s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America,” O’Donnell said to roars of audience laughter. “Donald, sit and spin, my friend.” > > She continued: “He inherited a lot of money. wait a minute, and he’s been bankrupt so many times where he didn’t have to pay. … I just think that this man is sort of like one of those, you know, snake oil salesmen in ‘Little House on the Prairie.’” ---

What is with people lately? First Mel Gibson, then Michael Richards, and now The Donald. Have these men all taken a “I will show the world what an ugly person I am” truth serum? I agree 100% on what Rosie said about the Donald. I never watched “The Apprentice” because I refuse to further enrich or enable the pompous jerk. Some comments: 1. Rosie’s talk show didn’t fail. She walked away from it, while it was still doing quite well in the ratings. 2. She _is_ fat. He’s ugly. So what? 3. She’s lucky to have found such an attractive mate? Coming from Donald Trump? Ha ha ha ha. 4. Her magazine failed. How many of Donald’s ventures have failed? Too many to count. It boggles the mind how ANYONE could think that he’s a brilliant businessman. 5. He did inherit his wealth. 6. The whole press conference about how he’s giving whatshername a second chance was so obviously a publicity stunt devised to plump up the ratings of his failing Miss USA franchise that it’s mortifying. Even the reporters covering the news conference were rolling their eyes. 7. Trump’s 15 minutes of fame is over. It’s time for him to ride off into the obscurity that he so richly deserves. 8. He must be really awful if I feel the need to come in here and defend Rosie O’Donnell so vigorously. ---

Wow, that’s just… I couldn’t care less about either of them, honestly, but it’s like he’s trying to commit social suicide. Did he write down a list of the most inane, rude, and offensive things he could possibly say, and run with it? He sounds like a put-out 11 year old. ---

[QUOTE=PunditLisa] 7) Trump’s 15 minutes of fame is over. It’s time for him to ride off into the obscurity that he so richly deserves. [/QUOTE] 15? The guy’s been in headlines one way or another since about 1980. This is a blip for The Donald. I’ve never actually seen the View, but I really like how Rosie’s getting shit just about every other week for something she said or did. Whether I agree with her or not, it’s pretty clear she’s one of the few that isn’t running her opinions by the focus group first. ---

Well, let’s see…O’Donnell, with no personal provocation whatsoever from Trump, comes from out of the blue with criticism of his handling of the Miss USA brouhaha; makes fun of _his_ looks and manner (scrunched up mouth, exaggerated accent, combover); falsely claims that he inherited his money (he inherited perhaps 1% of it, if that); falsely claims that he filed bankruptcy three times and never had to repay his debts when in reality he never filed bankruptcy and, IIRC, repaid all his debtors in full; tells him to “sit and spin”; and claims she’s not worried about a lawsuit because he’ll be bankrupt again by the time he could sue her anyway…and _he’s_ the asshole in all this? It’s about time someone made this rude, big-mouthed, inconsiderate, obnoxiously self-concerned bitch pay publically for the way she behaves. What goes around comes around and she deserves every word! Good on ya, Donald! ---

[QUOTE=Otto] Be honest. Gun to the head, had to choose one, you’d do Rosie. [/QUOTE] I’m not her type (male and heterosexual). Guns to both of our heads? Give me time to think about it. Rosie and I grew up in the same neck of the LI woods. She’s a Commack South HS girl; I’m a Commack North HS boy. I _might_ take one (Rosie) for Commack or I _might_ take one (bullet) because the schools were rivals.
