Rosie O'Donnell: Glen Beck is a scary man
Rosie O'Donnell: Glen Beck is a scary man

Rosie O'Donnell dropped the F bomb Friday night when she blasted Glenn Beck on the Jimmy Fallon show.

O'Donnell had already used another swear word twice during Friday night's taping of NBC's "Late Night" when Fallobn reminded her about the no-swearing rule.

O'Donnell turned to the audience and said "F**k."

The show bleeped out the swear words but they let O'Donnell's criticism stand.

She blasted Beck for his attacks on the Democrats and President Barack Obama.

And she mocked Beck by making crying sounds and pretending to quote Beck saying, "Obama is ruining everything. I want drugs. Be afraid, America, we're in trouble."

"I don't understand why people enjoy that carnival barker," she said. "I don't get it.
He's a scary man to me"

The right-wing Web site newsbusters.org denounced Rosie's comments as a "disgraceful, vulgarity-laden performance."

I rather think Rosie will be happy to hear that.

The only reason people listen to or watch Glenn Beck is the same reason people are drawn to train wrecks or car accidents. Glen Beck IS Shock and Awe. You're shocked he has an audience, and in awe of his ability to pretend to be literate.

I'm not the biggest fan of Rosie O'Donnell, but no amount castigation and rebuke of Glenn Beck is too much. He reminds me of the Joker (played by Heath the Aussie who died of an overdose) in "The Dark Knight" whose sole purpose is to ruin everything and then stand triumphant amongst the devastation. He has much in common with the other conservative shills (Hannity, Limbaugh, et al.), but more than the others, he has a sardonic, mocking, disdainful regard for his viewers/listeners. He is no hardcore idealogue. This run of popularity he is experiencing owes to a deceitful manipulatiion of the mood of a certain segment of the conservative radio listen- ers who have such loathing for liberal issues and , more specifically, President Obama. Beck is nothing but a shameless huckster and he could not care less for his audience. He mocks them when he is off camera and microphone. He is a weisel and doesn't care about anything but himself. Just like the Joker. An aside to "Madeleine": if you think Glenn Beck is a good source of news, I got a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell ya." P.S. Bush/Cheney didn't get bashed enough. In fact, they ought to be holding rifles in Iraq right now, fighting the war they got us into and causing all the death and suffering they did. Period.

Hi: I think poor Rosie has "lost it"...such an angry woman...I guess her recent break up with her lover has really "set her off"..hope she finds "another" to satify her aggressive instincts...sad indeed what loss of dignity happens to some people like Rosie..once a great showwoman. mike

Rosie was very funny at one time when she did stand-up and had her own show. But as soon as she came out, she took on a mean, angry persona. Like Madonna she thinks nothing of mocking Catholics and her Bush/Cheney bashing was constant. She can give but can't take. She's the only one allowed an opinion. Glen must really hit a nerve called the TRUTH.

Rosie will be happy to know that Glen Beck is among the missing again, he has not been on his show for a few days now. She really jumped on the Liberal bandwagon when it comes to free speech, yet she can curse like a merchant marine and its OK? The newspapers here in the US tells us nothing, if it weren't for Glen Beck we wouldn't know what was going on. The news is printing glowing stories about the poor assasin who killed 13 soldiers and wounded 43 in their own army base, I can see why Glen Beck is missing right now, maybe for good.
