Donald and Rosie Still Going Strong
This ridiculous Donald Trump – Rosie O’Donnell feud has gone on for so long. It always comes so close to becoming boring, then the slightest bit of new information gets released and sucks me right back in.
As much as I want to side with Rosie over this whole non issue, Donald is great at pulling people in deeper. Despite those killer tactics of his, The Apprentice L.A. had a pretty bad season premiere this past Sunday. Here is the latest attempt at getting ratings for his stupid show.
Donald has been making the feud interesting by bringing the unwilling Barbara Walters into the mix. In a letter to Rosie today, Donald writes:
An article in today’s New York Post indicates that you blew up at Barbara Walters for being a ‘liar.’ Actually, I don’t blame you, but in fact she lied to both of us! After your maniacal and foolish rant against me two weeks ago, Barbara called me from her vacation (I did not call her) in order to apologize for your behavior. She had heard that I was going to retaliate against you and tried to talk me out of it. She very much wanted me to go on the show as soon as she got back so that she could ‘patch things up’ (I said no). To be exact, she said that ‘working with her is like living in hell’ and, more pointedly, ‘Donald, never get into the mud with pigs’ and, ‘don’t worry, she won’t be here for long.’ Barbara knows exactly what she told me over the phone and she has to live with it. Perhaps that’s why her initial statement was so mild!
I can’t help it, I love this. The possibility that Barbara Walters hates Rosie, and says the exact opposite everyday on The View, is wonderful. Reportedly, Rosie blew up at Barbara on Monday, backstage at The View. Rosie was a little peeved Barbara did not stand up for her more. What do you expect Rosie? Barbara hates your ass.

I think Barbara should kiss the ground Rosie walks on. Has she looked at The View’s ratings lately? I don’t think it’s because Elizabeth is sitting in a chair with nothing to say.

I agree with Hilary! I believe that Barbara said those things and Barbara disk likes everyone I think she seems like a nasty old witch. She will not let her off the show though because Rosie produces a lot of ratings. Donald’s show though isn’t doing as well with the ratings so he needs all this drama.
