About Time

Lovin this:

NEW YORK — On the heels of her obscene comments at a recent media event, an infamous feud with Donald Trump and countless politically sensitive remarks, Rosie O'Donnell is leaving "The View" at the end of her first season on the show.
ABC said Wednesday it was unable to agree on a contract with the opinionated host, and she'll leave the show in June.
O'Donnell said in a statement that "my needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me."
"This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
O'Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show invented by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused almost constant controversy, including her nasty name-calling feud with Trump.
Earlier Wednesday, rumors swirled that O'Donnell's bawdy humor while emceeing the Matrix Awards on Monday would result in her leaving "The View."
O'Donnell's antics occurred Monday in front of 2,000 people at an event feting New York's most accomplished women in media at the Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom.

Rosie has said so many crazy things it would be difficult to even list them all. Maybe the top of the list is her 9/11 conspiracy theory that president Bush secretly demolished the World Trade Center buildings. Her faulty reasoning demonstrates why "tolerating" sinful ideas like homosexuality begin a slide down a slippery slope. Since Christians oppose her lifestyle, they are the enemy and must be attacked. If they like George Bush, he must be attacked. I don't think she is pretending--her hatred for Christianity because it shines a light on her choices has led her to truly believe really crazy stuff. Christians are as much terrorists as Muslims? George Bush caused the deaths on 9/11? I wish this were goodby, but she will be back.
