Rosie O'Donnell and Freedom of Speech
In the interest of being "fair and balanced", I must mention Rosie and her "firing." I don't believe for one minute that she was fired. If one looks at Rosie's "career" since the Tom Selleck and K-Mart incident which resulted in the cancellation of her talk show, a pattern can be seen to emerge. Now, I do believe the cancellation of her talk show was a "righteous" firing. She turned a show that had started well into an "attack and destroy" zone and she just happened to pick on our man's man and our woman's fantasy idol, Tom Selleck, who just happens to have had a good show in Magnum, P.I. And Tom Selleck, aside from being a conservative man, is mighty fine to look at too. Boy howdy! Well, I am a beach girl afterall. But Rosie picked on Tom Selleck which we women wouldn't tolerate and on guns which our men wouldn't tolerate and a new MO was born. It is just possible that the current "firing" is just part of Rosie's MO and part of her contract. Bring her on to boost ratings. When the ratings are up, "fire" her and give the ratings another shot in the arm 'cause "by golly" look at that, the network does care about we conservatives and does listen to us when we have been abused enough. I'm not saying Rosie came up with this plan all by herself but I sure bet Barbara Walters is smart enough and media savvy enough to have come up with the plan. If not Barbara, then certainly the people around the show - The View - are savvy enough to give it a go. Rosie gets the boot and a good buy-out bonus and the last day - or close - of her tenure is kicked off with a mea culpa by none other than Alec Baldwin. Not bad if you think about it. Barbara comes out clean; Alec gets the forum which is okay with me; and Rosie gets to play the Liberal fanatic who could have been excused for youthful enthusiasm in earlier days but now has transformed herself into the "aging shrew." Nice work if you can get it! If you look at her "firing" in this light, it is difficult to say her "freedom of speech" was violated when it is that very "freedom of speech" that allowed for her success in duping us once again.

Hey Beach Girl,
Is this really a topic worth discussing on a political forum, even if there was a mention of free speech somewhere in the text? Or did I just miss something here?
I'm very happy she's out of there. What makes matters worse however is that Bill O'Reilly made a big deal out of her, and all that did was boost her ratings higher.
I'm glad she's there too because they'll never censor her and therefore, we'll still have freedom of speech with "but look what Rosie said," whine, whine....
I had fun with the post so give me a break for goodness sake.
When a girl, yea, even a beachgirl, is sweet on a hunk, reasons can always be found :)
Spoken as a true gentleman!
Isn't it amazing though how many really dumb people make it to the big time and make pots of money doing it? Now for instance, take Al Gore.....or John Kerry...or Jimmy Carter....it really doesn't bear thinking about too much.
Yes, my only point here is that Rosie made it on our money and we're still letting her get away with it. Also, now it is just part of her act - the celebrity put upon by the vast right wing conspiracy who keeps paying her check.
Thanks for stopping by.
I for one am glad rosie is gone, what a tiresome gasbag. Not that i hold the rest of them in high regard. Sorry I start getting reaching for shoes when I hear leftists carping on.
Yes, I'm glad she's gone too but like a virus, she'll be back with her rude and quite ugly ways mutated for her next assault against human decency. She is quite the bore.
