She's Deface Of Rosie Revenge (Rosie gets back at Hasselbeck)

Yesterday, Rosie's chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the building after she was caught drawing moustaches on photographs of Hasselbeck that hang in the "View" studios.

The Post's Adam Buckman reports ABC confirmed in a statement only that "photographs at 'The View's' offices were defaced. Rosie O'Donnell was not in the building. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter." Barber is an old friend of O'Donnell who worked with her years ago on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show."

There were also rumors O'Donnell was so angry after her argument with Hasselbeck that she trashed her dressing room, although ABC denied the tantrum.

As for O'Donnell, she's been posting comments on her personal Web site, rosie.com, fueling speculation she might not return to "The View" ever again. Her scheduled last day is Wednesday, June 20.

When one fan wrote, "Work isn't worth that battle," Rosie replied, "Agreed." Another wrote, "Please walk away. It's not worth it." Rosie replied, "Well, you know when it's time to go."

To a fan who asked when she would return, O'Donnell answered, "No idea."

Yesterday, O'Donnell posted a video that may have symbolized how she's feeling about "The View."

The tape consisted of ducks swimming in a pond accompanied by an audio track of the John Mayer song "Vultures," whose lyrics include "How will I hold my head to keep from going under?"

Officially, "The View" expects O'Donnell to return to work on Tuesday.

I keep hoping Rosie will get so furious that she will have spontaneous combustion. I hope they get it on video.

“I think Rosie should be put on a suicide watch.”

- While your remark might be taken as an overstatement, I think there is something to the observation that O’Donnell’s personality has changed noticeably since she first started her day time talk show. Her behavior has become more erratic and unpredictable and her outbursts more frequent, intolerant and extreme. She seems to see conspiracy everywhere which is a sure symptom of someone suffering from a persecution complex, or worse.
I would guess that there are events in her personal life which are putting great pressure on her and she lashes out from fear and insecurity. Unless she takes the pressure off herself and withdraws from public life, I see a stint on a funny farm in her future.

What Elizabeth should have said when Rosie asked her if she believed that Rosie called our troops terrorists, is, “When the shoe fits wear it.”

Ann Counlter would be a great, although I don't think she'd get to say much...it would still be a great idea.

What I would like to point out is that The View doesn't have to wonder if Elizabeth will be at work on Tuesday. She's a professional who has no problem meeting her obligations. With Rosie you never know when the next tirade is coming and after which tantrum she just won't come back to her job. I honestly don't know what she has a problem with, she get's to say what she wants, usually without interruption. Elizabeth can't say that.

Rosie finally gets pushback and she can’t take it? What a wimp.

[razzle]

“what a lucky guy Elizabeth’s husband is”

I thought she was married to pro football QB Matt Hassleback or his brother another pro football QB.

[Oztrich Boy]

Just look at the way that imbecile Donald Trump took a cheap shot at her...

To be fair to The Donald, Elisabeth did provoke that one.

[Enterprise]

I think they're brother and sister.

[stevio]

Everytime I see that video of Elizabeth and Rosie going at it I think what a lucky guy Elizabeth’s husband is to be able to go home to her every night.

I bet it irks Rosie that she's not gettin' some of that.

What do you mean, how will you hold your head? You hold it UP, you moron. Sheesh.

[reagan_fanatic]

I bet it irks Rosie that she's not gettin' some of that.

Same here. My bet is that's one of her chief sources of anger. Can you imagine having to be on a show with someone who is not only smarter than you are, but makes you look like the offspring of Jabba the Hutt and Medusa? I'd be angry too.

[Mr. Jazzy]

I think that she is “circling the drain” with these fits and attacks that occur at the slighest provocation. Or it is just that her view of the world is so fragile that the smallest challenge to her point of view shakes her to the core. A “Stalinist” paranoid behavior.

She is not a happy woman.

[ShandaLear]

Rosie is a case study in bullies.

[PGalt]

LOL! Classic!

[PapaBear3625]

Looking at the video near the end, the look of hate and anger on Rosie's face is unmistakable. Rosie can dish it out, but she REALLY doesn't like taking it

Rosie is a cowardly bully who is not used to people who fight back

[Oztrich Boy]

I missed it and have no idea what happened. Where’s the video? What happened?

Haven't got the video, but I think this is a screenshot from the show

[SlowBoat407]

LOL! Nailed it!!!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Elisabeth has the best something else on TV also. My goodness, she has developed since “Survivor”. Maybe it’s because she’s a mom now.

[One_American]

All I can say about that is good riddance you pig-faced deviant. And as the late Sammy Davis Jr. would say, “I mean that, man”.

[squidward]

I just found this on her blog. Looks to me like she agrees with this person comparing the troops to terrorists.
