Rosie O'Donnell to be Replaced by Roseanne Barr on 'The View'?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roseanne Barr went from a funny sitcom star to a pariah with one horrible National Anthem' rendition where she grabbed her crotch and spat after butchering the Star-Spangled Banner in San Diego. Rosie O'Donnell went from the 'queen of nice' to the 'queen of mean' by hosting 'The View' shock jock style and blasting away at anyone and everyone that didn't agree with her politics. So - can one replace the other? Can Barbara Walters fading reputation take it?


Rosie O'Donnell to be Replaced by Roseanne Barr?

The New York Post has a report that Roseanne Barr has emerged as the top contender to replace Rosie O'Donnell next year on "The View," sources tell the newspaper.

***

"She's a piece of work, she's a character, she says what's on her mind and she's funny," said a source with knowledge of ABC's sudden and desperate search to find a new co-host to replace O'Donnell who quit the show last week. "They're missing strong personalities on that show, and that's what they're going to need if they want to keep it going," an ABC staffer close to the situation told the Post.

The paper notes that during an appearance on "Larry King" last week, Roseanne danced around the question of joining the "The View." "I'm not looking for the job," she said at one point - and joking at another, "Well, I want $10 million, like Rosie."

Must be fat, unattractive, obnoxious, AND STUPID, with a big mouth and no semblance of class whatsoever.
PS: Militant Lesbianism, is a double plus!

Clearly a net gain in the IQ level.

The average for “The View” rises almost two points.

Maybe so.

I don’t claim to be a Roseanne expert and I’ve certainly been wrong before.

I was simply posting my observations.

I believe she deserves that much.

A couple of liberated women for our times. What wonderful examples of feminism.

The muslims think they have a solution to horniness by covering up the ladies? Heck they should just try lots of marlboro lights, mcdonalds, coors, dirty jeans and flip flops. You won’t have a dude looking at their women after they morph into Rosie Rosanna Danna.

Well, it is my considered opinion, that the FemPerv
exec that Nick at Nite hired, has *ruined* their
channels with her homosexual force feeding agenda, and one of the main weays that she did it was by turhning
both Nick at Nite Channels into the Roseanne Pig
channels. 90# Roseanne with Fresh Idiot and overplayed
Cosby as fillers...and now they want to push the
“diversity” agenda (Love everything queer) on TV Land
too! IOt’s sickening.

She was nice, pleasant, funny, and seemed well-balanced.

Her surgeon did a remarkable job. Her face is far more attractive than previously. I don't watch a lot of stand-up, so maybe I'm wrong, but I've never heard her get to crude or drop f-bombs.

For Barr to replace Swiney Rose would be like Fidel Castro replacing Hitler; The only difference in them was their language.

Roseanne would be a step up from Rosie in that Roseanne is not clinically insane.

I don’t think you’re right here, Roseanne used to go around claiming she had multiple personalities back a few years ago.

And every one of them seems to suck.

Yeah, that must be the ticket! Just replace one bloviating hideous leftist ugly pig with another BHLUP! What an improvement.... From one BHLUP to the next BHLUP, with hardly a moment of fresh air.

I don’t know how crude her humor is, either.

I agree that she looks very nice now, even pretty.
