Hisses for Rosie's War Tirade
PageSix.com ^ | 2003-04-09 | RICHARD JOHNSON

Posted on 04/09/2003 4:36:56 AM PDT by Lorenb420

ROSIE O'Donnell was booed by like-minded liberals when she started criticizing President Bush at a fund-raising dinner for GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

O'Donnell took the stage Monday at the Marriott Marquis to accept the Vito Russo Award. Regarding Michael Moore's widely criticized anti-Bush Oscar rant, she said, "If [Moore] wants to use the Oscar stage to express his views against a war that doesn't make sense, he should be supported and applauded."

O'Donnell then ripped into Bush and grumbled that the war was "killing Iraqi women and children."

"Rosie received some polite cheering, but there were audible boos from the crowd," our spywitness reports.

"Most people just stared down and rearranged their napkins waiting for her to finish. When she wrapped up, the audience was notably and awkwardly less enthusiastic than at her entrance," our source says.

"A smattering of folks tried to lead a standing ovation, but only about 5 percent of the attendees stood. Most people remained firmly seated and few applauded."

GLAAD rep Scott Seomin insists: "There was a standing ovation when Rosie got on stage. I was in the wings and did not hear any booing during [the tirade], and several people did stand when she left the stage.

"Rosie is an icon to the gay and lesbian community. Her remarks about the war were surprising to us at GLAAD, but we support free speech," Seomin added.

O'Donnell's rep Cindi Berger maintains, "Rosie wasn't booed. She was applauded."

Left-leaning political tantrums by other celebrities are also meeting harsh receptions. Last Tuesday, Susan Sarandon appeared on the BBC show "So Graham Norton." Audience member Kieran Aylward reports she went off on an anti-Bush tirade.

"For a whole hour, my friend and I had to endure the biggest anti-Bush rant I have yet heard," Aylward wrote PAGE SIX in an e-mail. "Ms. Sarandon also blasted the media, singling out the New York Post as the worst newspaper in the city.

"Most of her tirade was edited out, which pleased me enormously as I did not have to endure another headache listening to her."

Translation: It's right of center, and is in full support of bush and the war.

I wonder if she didn't hear about the prisons of torture and starvation being opened since the war began, the children's prison that was opened yesterday, kids who had refused to joing the Ba'ath Party Youth Brigade, some had been in prison for 5 years! Prisons that held babies, toddlers, little kids.....

Better watch what you say about Rosie. If she finds out, she might eat your family.

If they were booing her, they weren't all "like-minded." Looks like GLAAD may be developing a Log Cabin branch.

But, but....wasn't this the woman who said that she loved GW after 911...that she felt so secure with him in charge? Just like on the gun issue, where her anti-gunness had her body guards armed, its all about her.

Unless, of course, the speaker is Dr. Laura.

The American people don't agree with this "woman". So Rosie better get with the plan. And she better do it "lickit-D-split". So to speak......

Never use that phrase and "Rosie" in the same post! It's in bad taste.

Dang, see what you made me do?!

Did anyone see the news skit on Saturday Night Live last week? The gal reporter stated that Rosie was married last week to her gay lover and to celebrate the " ATE OUT".

Maybe they weren't saying "Boo". Pehaps they were just saying "Moo" to the cow (Rosie O'Doughnut).

Rosie, let me give you some advice, man to man: Go home, spend some time with the missus, have a box of chocolates (or three), put your feet up, read a woman's magazine, watch a daytime talk show. . . . On second thought, scratch those last two things. But basically just go home and relax and get some face time with the little woman. Believe me, you'll feel better--about yourself and about life in general. Quit carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Sure she did. But in her mind, it's a) None of our business and b) Saddam's just misunderstood - a little misguided, maybe, but his heart's in the right place.

"...we support free speech"

The day they feature a speaker who is a former homosexual, and who vividly points the way to freedom from this soul-destroying behavior, is the day I will start believing this claim.

The tag from the preceding post was leftover from one about bin Laden urging suicide bombers. I opined that he should lead by example. Sorry.

Nah, Rosie donated her underware to the UN to use as tents to house refugees...
