Infinite MonkeysCountdown until the spin becomes "censored and forced off the air" for Rosie 10...9...8...7...
(If you doubt it, go back and look at Bill Maher, who had "Politically Incorrect" stay on the air with poor ratings long after his 9/11 comments, but now is considered some kind of martyr.)
Posted by David at May 26, 2007 09:23 AMI presume y'all saw the spat between Rosie and Hasselbeck. Rosie gets upset because "Poor Elizabeth" won't provide cover for Rosie and her statement: "There are 650,000 people dead in Iraq. Who are the real terrorists?"
It made for great TV for Rosie to ask Hasselbeck to tell America that I didn't really mean to imply that U.S. troops are terrorists. Elizabeth refused, saying, "you're an adult, Rosie and you are responsible for what you say and how people take them (at clear, face value)."
And, in the end, Rosie -- tough, liberal, Rosie -- throws a fit, won't take responsibility for what she said (not to mention the 9/11 nutter conspiracy stuff) and can't handle the tepid opposition that Elizabeth gives her.
Bye-Bye, Fathead.
