[Far Right Of Left]

Before the show, O'Donnell told USA TODAY she chose to talk to Sawyer because she wanted an investigative piece...
of a**!

[linn37]

yeah thats the type we need to send foster kids to

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

Did we have to wait for her to say it?Could'nt you tell from the smell?

[anothergrunt]

"Why are the really sexy women always gay?"

And I thought I was a sick puppy!!!

[boothead]

Rosie, coy on TV

She didn't say she was gay on TV. She said "She had an eating disorder.

[codebreaker]

You forgot to add Kevin Spacey.

[Paul Atreides]

Next thing she'll tell us is that she has a fat butt.

She's a liar. She told Tom Cruise she had a big crush on him on her show.

Hopefully, her fag rag magazine will go the way of Talk magazine.

"The fact that I was unwilling to sign that document meant the child was removed from the house."

Thank God! At least this child was saved. (Rosie would likely have us think that without her the child won't have a chance.)

Queen of filth, if you ax me.

[don-o]

And I should care about this because.....?

Doesn't her show come on in the morning M-F when real Americans are on the job?

If you are a real American working night shift, and just must have a TV fix, why is it Rosie?

I am clueless as to how cyphers such as this woman, wield such influence on this board.

[NormsRevenge]

The words "Rosie: and "come" on the same line of text is enuf to give be the bajeebers

[counterrevolutionary]

Before the show, O'Donnell told USA TODAY she chose to talk to Sawyer because she wanted an investigative piece on Florida's ban on gay adoption. She told Sawyer if that was done, "I would like to talk about my life and how (the case) pertains to me."

So, ABC News did an investigative report in exchange for an interview with Rosie O'Donnell?

I guess journalistic integrity is going cheap these days.

[mymanbush]

My thoughts exactly.

[mombonn]

All I can say is - I'm sure those poor kids of hers are going to need years of counseling. They must see and hear stuff that NO ONE should see or hear.

[Drew68]

Actually, he [Nathan Lane] never really "came out".

The way he put it was actually pretty funny. An interviewer asked him if he was gay and he replied, "Look, I'm forty, I'm single, and I work in musical theatre. You do the math."

[NYCVirago]

This is about as unexpected and groundbreaking as the coming out of Nathan Lane or Michael Stipe.

I liked the way Lane "came out," such as it was. When asked about it, he said something like "I'm over 40, not married, and sing show tunes for a living. You do the math."

[NYCVirago]

Looks like we heard the same Nathan Lane comments! You remembered it better than I did, though. ;)

When's Diane Sawyer going to interview Paula Poundstone?
