A Major Cat Fight Breaks Out On ‘The View’

THE ROSIE AND ELISABETH FEUD GOT UGLY THIS MORNING

Check out this video of Wednesday’s verbal sparring match between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.  Rosie has been pissed since Monday when Elisabeth refused to come out and say she whether or not she actually believes that Rosie thinks the U.S. troops in Iraq are terrorists.  What started out as a Bush bashing segment (initiated by Joy Behar reading a list of the president’s mistakes) eventually turned into a shouting match between the co-hosts.

Enjoy…

The producers made a mistake by letting the argument go on for that long without going to a commercial.  This will either spill over to tomorrow’s show or be forgotten like most of the other arguments they have had since Rosie joined the program last September.  One thing is for sure, cable news knuckle-heads like Joey Scarborough and Bill O’Reilly are going to have a field day with this exchange.

Even better than the argument was the way Alicia Silverstone dissed Elisabeth when she came out after the commercial. 

Jerry Falwell: 1933-2007

THE LEADER OF THE MORAL MAJORITY JOINS THE MORTAL MAJORITY 

This morning, puffy evangelist Jerry Falwell was found dead in his office at Liberty University.  I am no doctor, but one look at a recent picture of the man would have told you his days on this planet were numbered.  Forgive me if I forgo the fake reverence one is expected to extend to the recently departed.  Jerry Falwell was a buffoon who claimed to be a Christian, yet he never missed an opportunity to exploit national tragedies for his own political gain.

Although he sometimes used the title “Doctor,” Falwell held no earned doctorate. He held three honorary degrees: an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Tennessee Temple Theological Seminary, an honorary Doctor of Letters from California Graduate School of Theology (an unaccredited institution), and an honorary Doctor of Laws from Central University in Seoul, South Korea (an unaccredited institution).  Those facts didn’t prevent his friends from referring to him as Doctor Falwell when they announced his death at a press conference this morning.

President Bush Winks At The Queen

HE’S JUST A GOOD OLE’ BOY, NEVER MEANIN’ NO HARM

During a ceremony on the south lawn of the White House welcoming the Queen of England, Bush made this little slip, “You’ve dined with 10 U.S. presidents. You helped our nation celebrate its bicentennial in 17….in 1976.”

Then, as only a fool could do, Bush turned to Queen Elizabeth and winked, a no-no when it comes to regal protocol, and as the laughter died down, said, “She gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.” Ouch!

Tough Love For Hasselhoff

MR. BAYWATCH’S DAUGHTER TRIES TO SHAME HIM INTO SOBRIETY

I am posting this video as a public service to those of you out there that wonder how alcohol affects families.  There is nothing funny about this footage (well….except when his hamburger falls apart.)  It is actually quite sad to see someone this famous dealing with his pain by getting extremely drunk. 

It shouldn’t be too shocking for David Hasselhoff.  He told his sixteen year old daughter to film him the next time he fell off the wagon.  This time Hasselhoff didn’t just fall off the wagon, he did a ‘Triple Lindy’ into a large pitcher of beer.  How it got into the hands of Access Hollywood is unknown (maybe Kim Basinger gave it to them.)  The good news: Hasselhoff is officially in a three-way tie for father of the year with Alec Baldwin and Ryan O’Neil.

Hopefully some good will come from this very public humiliation:

    

American Idol Season Six: Round Eight

AMERICA GETS IT RIGHT AND SENDS CHRIS AND (PHINALLY!) PHIL PACKING

Vacation and indifference have kept my Idol commentaries off of these pages for almost a month.  To date, this season has been a bit of a bore for me, offering very few of what I would consider to be stand-out performances.  I would be lying if I claimed that I did not miss Sanjaya.  That kid brought the kind of excitement one only finds watching videos on a TV show about car wrecks.  Unfortunately, by the time he butchered Bonnie Raitt’s ‘Something To Talk About’, you could tell his heart just wasn’t in it anymore and America happily put him out of his misery.  For those in need of a Sanjaya fix, don’t forget that there’s always the live tour to look forward to…

Then there was ‘Idol Gives Back’ week, which I would prefer to call ‘Idol Makes Me Nauseous’ week.  Not only did they waste my time with pointless performances (Annie Lennox butchering Simon and Garfunkel? An Elvis and Celine Dion duet?) they failed to kick someone off the show.  I cheered like a drunk boob at a baseball game when I mistakenly thought Jordin was going home. Man was I pissed when that didn’t come true.  My only hope (at that time) was that her demise was simply going to be delayed a week.  Oh well…

Happy Fourth Anniversary, King George!

HE SAID WHAT? 

I can can think of at least 3000 reasons why this picture is completely wrong. 

 

back in the days of shock and awe
we came to liberate them all
history was the cruel judge of overconfidence
back in the days of shock and awe

back in the days of “mission accomplished”
our chief was landing on the deck
the sun was setting on a golden photo op
back in the days of “mission accomplished”

Eddie Van Halen, Happy and Healthy?

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME’S NEWEST INDUCTEE EMERGES FROM REHAB

What a difference rehab, a queer makeover, and some new teeth can do for a down and out guitar hero.  One of our favorite ‘Freaks of the Week’ seems to finally be getting his act together.  Judge for yourselves by watching these YouTube videos:

We’re Back!

After a two-week hiatus, the freak show is back in town. 

I didn’t miss anything important, did I?

Don Imus: Freak of the Week

HOW MANY TIMES CAN THIS GUY PISS OFF THE BLACK COMMUNITY?

                  

Let me set things up by going back to a transcript of what went down on last week’s Imus In The Morning show…

The Naughty Fireman

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN OHIO THESE DAYS? 

Ladies and gentleman, meet Steven S. Cole; volunteer firefighter, father of three, service manager for a farm implement company, and possibly the world’s worst transvestite.  He was arrested this past Tuesday in a public park wearing a striped, multi-colored bikini, a blond wig and diamond-like belly-button stud.  His boobs consisted of two yellow water balloons–nice!

Police were alerted to this bizarre incident by a Mr. Troy Harphant, who was at Heritage Oak Park in Mason, Ohio with his wife and their 6 year-old daughter.  “It was like this freak show,” Harphant told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “I was a little taken by surprise by what I’d seen there. It was out of place with what should have been going on over there, that’s for sure.” You can download the 911 call here and hear it for yourself.
