Rosie O'Donnell Takes Another Swipe At Barbara Walters

Girl just can't stop talking about it! Rosie O'Donnell, who returns to TV on NBC in a variety show next week, took another direct swipe at her former boss, Barbara Walters at "The View". (Have I asked "why are we still talking about "The View"? If I haven't, I think it... often). Anyway, Rosie wanted to share how it's not all school girl giggles behind the scenes of the chat fest. Before that, I want to suggest that we get all of the bitching-moaning-fighting ladies on "The View" in a cage match. I'll listen to the last one standing. Sorry, off track again.

Rosie is quoted in the LA Times....
Barbara Walters, she told reporters on Wednesday morning, “wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if [the women on ‘The View’] get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that’s just not the reality.
“I’m not saying they loathe each other, but the fact of the matter is, there was not a lot of camaraderie off camera.”
O’Donnell famously exited the ABC daytime talk show after months of politically charged bickering with her co-hosts, among them Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who came under scrutiny again in this election year as the show’s only staunchly conservative voice.
But she conceded “arguing about politics is not the best use of my talent.”
“I didn’t grow up thinking, ‘I hope I can talk about politics.’ If you watch my stand-up comedy, I talk about my life, my family. It only became about [politics] with the job on ‘The View.’ ”

As much as I think "The View" has jumped the shark and is no longer relevant, I also LOVE to drag up these clips. It's like watching episodes of Jerry Springer.
