Rosie O'Donnell Sees Right Past Barbara Walters' Insincere On-Camera Love
We honestly thought that yesterday's epic post updating the latest developments in the Rosie vs. Donald feud (her kids are upset/he only called her a fat pig a couple of times/his ratings are in the toilet) would be the last words we'd have to type on the subject for a while, which we now admit was a naïve presumption, especially so long as the editorship of Page Six is still walking among us. Today's lead story brings us deep into the trenches—The View's hair and makeup room—where Trump's deep-seated distaste for not-very-smart, degenerate fat pigs is tearing Rosie and Barbara Walters apart:
According to spies, O'Donnell recoiled from Walters' touch and yelled, "You kept me in the newspapers this whole time!"
Both "View" producer Bill Geddie and Walters tried to calm O'Donnell. Walters told her, "I did everything I could to squash the story" - prompting Rosie to scream, "You didn't call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn't tell me what you were going to say on television!" [...]
After O'Donnell's outburst at Walters yesterday, Geddie jumped in and told her, "You've crossed the line." O'Donnell retorted, "Cameras are now outside of my house where my wife and kids are." She turned to Walters and said, "You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."
When Walters tried to defend herself, O'Donnell erupted, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a [bleeping] liar."
Walters was at that moment most likely ensnared in the deciphering of the triple-negative accusation, when her confused silence might easily have been misinterpreted by O'Donnell as an admission of "bleeping liar" guilt. It remains to be seen whether fences can be mended between the surgically tautened broadcast matriarch and the loose-lipped lesbzilla she unleashed upon the daytime TV landscape, but one thing is for certain: somewhere, an out-of-work Star Jones is cheering on Team O'Donnell, between shouts at her View-blocking husband Al Reynolds to "get off the bed and do your pedicure in the bathroom like any normal man!"
