Rosie O'Donnell Straps Herself On to 'The View'
Because daytime television is THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIT IN THE WORLD, your panties are no doubt soaked with excitement over celebrity lesbian Rosie O'Donnell's debut as the new co-host on The View. If you're so cursed (or blessed) as to not be watching it live, let us just note that it's really not worth a live-blog. In fact, the only excitement is just in seeing Rosie O'Donnell sitting there with nice hair and makeup (per her contract). She acknowledged that her old alpha-lesbian routine terrified America and, to make it up to everyone, Rosie's even wearing high heels on her first day. See? She's a lady. And oh, how the ratings will skyrocket! (Granted, Rosie could come out and do her shortbus routine and lick a can of peas, and ABC would reap the rewards.)
Other early highlights: constant references to Rosie's life partner, Kelly; Rosie excitedly proclaiming her love for Billie Jean King; Elisabeth Hasselback talking about her kid peeing on her in the tub. Rosie could barely sit still during that last one — not even contractually mandated femininity can hold a good dyke down.
