Rosie O'Donnell was on the Janeane Garafolo show letting off steam about conservatives in general and Rush Limbaugh in particular. Her remarks will not endear her to the Tea Party Titan.

The two liberal ladies got to musing about Rush Limbaugh and his enormous influence on the right. They also were quite cutting about those on the right Here is a brief clip.

O'Donnell : ....And how is it that he's able to be a junkie, literally, and sort of still have reverence, respect, and be heralded as the leader of these, you know...

GAROFALO: Well, look at who he's talking to.

O'DONNELL: I know.

GAROFALO: Look at who he's talking to.

O'DONNELL: Those are the kind of people who if it was a junkie, right? What, because he buys the Oxycontin from a doctor?

GAROFALO: Sure, bought it's very elastic, isn't it? It's always a double standard. When it comes to right wingers, whatever works for them works. [...]

GAROFALO: ....And you, when you talk that way to people, the way Rush talks to people, the way he lies to people, you can't have respect for him. You couldn't possibly respect who's listening to you if you lied to them the way that they do. They use these people as a blunt instrument.

O'DONNELL: Do you think that they believe it? Rush or Glenn Beck or those people?

I'm sure Rosie will not be getting any Tea Party invites any time soon.

O'Donnell-Ignorance,Apathy,Lack of intelligence,A mouth that far outruns her BRAIN. Garofalo-A second rate Actor and a Diatribe that only someone of a mindset such as "An O'DONNEL" could find merit in....

O'Donnell and Garofalo are the epitomy of what the Democrat party represents. They are mean spirited, vile and contemptuous. They respect Bill Clinton (a big liar) yet call Rush a liar and wonder how anyone can respect him. They are two faced sanctimonious moralists that can't come to grips with the fact that they are and will always remain second class citizens, not because they claim to be women but because of their core ideology.

Why on earth would anyone care what Rosie O'Donnell has to say. If I hear her loud mouth I immediately hit the forward button. She is nauseating to look at. Her loud mouth delivers only hate and diatribe, as for Garofalo, she is NASTY. As far as I can see, Democrats and Liberals are SO ANGRY all the time. They have Obama and his entourage in the White House, the campaign is over, smile a little. You have about 3 and a half years left.

What a bitter, nasty pair. They lash out at anyone at anytime as if they are believable. Don't dare have values around those two. Mickk33...lies and deceptions of right wingers? Who is it that lies daily to the people...oh, yeah, Obama. Take a deep breathand listen to what the man says...close your eyes and ignore the aura and listen to the words. After all, it was he who said "...it's words, just words..."

It's good to read someone saying what they mean instead of the lies and deceptions of the right wingers. After reading some of the comments, I guess there's a good share of people who prefer a slithering snake of a junkie to a woman who's taken the difficult path of being honest about herself, no matter how unpopular that makes her.

And, this from the "lady" who, when she needed the viewers, billed herself as the "Queen of Nice". Sure fooled me and a lot of others. Sadly, I henceforth and forever more dismiss her to the dustbin of "nasty people". Please ignore her as well. Until she earns our attention. Garofalo too.
