Another major television figure puts her mouth where it doesn't belong...
Rosie's Latest Target Is 'Intoxicated' Abdul
O'Donnell Leads Criticism Against 'Idol's Nasty Edge

Jan. 19 --Rosie O'Donnell is one of the 37 million TV viewers watching "American Idol," but don't count her among those who liked what they saw.
For the second day in a row, "The View" co-host suggested was drinking during the show and lashed out at the show for making fun of the people auditioning. O'Donnell and her co-hosts played a clip from Wednesday night's "Idol," in which a contestant, following an off-key audition, was roundly mocked and rejected by the judges.
"That's compassion for you," O'Donnell said. "Isn't that what America thinks is entertainment, to make fun of someone's physical appearance? And then, when they leave the room, laugh hysterically at them -- three millionaires, one probably intoxicated."
O'Donnell had joked about Abdul's demeanor a day earlier. "Paula was very thirsty last night," she said.
"That girl was sipping Coke every shot. And toward the end of the evening, one eye was wandering."
OK, O'D, who made you the moral compass of Hollywood? You, who has had a career full of relational gaffes and idiotic outbusts, dare to accuse Paula of being drunk, even though you have no proof?
You have no inkling as to what is and isn't musical excellence, but at least 2 of the 3 AI judges do. (Paula's questionable, but she's definitely more qualified than you are!) This is why you (currently) don't have your own TV show. You criticize how the show is handled, and judge TV viewers how intelligent they are? (Yeah, that'll win "the Phew" new fans!)
Yes, that IS what America thinks is entertainment, to the tune of a solid #1 in theNielsenn ratings. Also, "Odie" seems to forget that most people who audition know they aren't really Idol material, and are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame. Some use costumes and physical appearance as their gimmick or hook, and purposely subjugate themselves to ridicule.
Rosie was quite successful at 3 things: alienating the American public, making herself look like an egotist by tearing down another public figure, and proving that her failures at stand-up comedy and talk-show host were no flukes.
Additionally, O'D has earned herself a nomination for the "Just Shut Up" award at the STUPIES V awards presentations...

Just wanted to add to the "Odie" thing... 1. Rosie is known to berate and severely critize her "help." Is this O.K.?
2. She is a hypocrite in her own right because she badgers people into thinking "guns are evil," all the while she does K-Mart commercials! K-Mart, at that time, was the largest seller of guns in America! What the hell? Bet those checks were "hard" to cash!
3. If she is the moral compass of Hollywood, we should all be looking for wonderful, wholesome entertainment for years to come, like Suessical the Musical! Can't wait!
4. # 3 is to be sarcastic!
Thank you, I thought I was the only one disliking her these days.
You guys need to get a life and quit worrying about people like Rosie Odonnell. You have spent waaaayyy to much time and anger over this!! There are far more important things to talk about! I thought you were smarter than that Mr "I"...at least you appear to be....

As a reward for not hiding behind the label "anonymous," I will not ridicule your response. THIS time.
Let this be a warning to you not to gripe on a blog designed to poke fun at stupid comments/people.
I may not be so gracious next time.
