Reasons Why the World Should Cut Rosie O’Donnell a Break

Please, this is the only thing that Rosie O’Donnell has left going for her.

Remember when she got fired from The View for having a bitch fit and freaking out on every episode?  Yeah, that happened and a lot of people forgot that she existed for a while. Then, Oprah thought it was a good idea to put Rosie O’Donnell on her old stage at Harpo Studios in Chicago in front of a live studio audience.  I mean, Rosie hasn’t really been on television in years, so we should at least cut her some slack for being a little rusty.  On March 6th, 2012 it was announced that The Rosie Show would be moving to New York in the near future.  However, just ten days later the Oprah Winfrey Network announced that The Rosie Show would be cancelled after only one season and ninety-five episodes due to low ratings, with the final episode airing on Friday March 30th, 2012.  Did Rosie have another bitch fit again?  Did Rosie actually have the guts to freak out at Oprah Winfrey and say she wasn’t moving her ass to New York?  Damn, girl.

Rosie is unstable, even on her Twitter account.

I mean, just a little over a month ago on February 8th, Rosie O’Donnell in a one-on-one interview with Chelsea Handler discussed her anxiety surrounding ‘little people’ and stated “I’m a little ashamed about it [but] I have a mild fear or anxiety around little people.  The problem with me is I can’t put the two things together.  This is an adult person, a little person … it’s so hard for me”.  And ever since then, she has suffered such a backlash from little people across America, and the world.  Rosie just doesn’t seem to know when she’s put either a chicken drumstick in her mouth, or her whole foot in her mouth.  It’s so great waking up in the morning to see Rosie O’Donnell apologizing on her Twitter account to people like Amy Roloff, the star of TLC’s Little People, Big World where she stated “i am sorry my words hurt u and made u sad - they were ineloquently phrased - i apologize and am pained at my own inadequacy”.  Yeah, nice PR recovery there, Rosie.  But, at least she made the recovery, I guess, and knew that she effed up.  I guess she just didn’t remember that what you tell your girlfriends isn’t necessarily appropriate to talk about on a camera in front of America. 

Rosie’s future isn’t that bright in the world of TV lesbians.

It seems that only one lesbian can rule the tube, these days.  Ellen Degeneres is busy sitting in her red chair for an hour every day, doing a dance for 5 minutes and shooting the sh*t with a few of her celebrity friends.  She’ll bring on an odd guest every now and then or call some obese housewife in Tennessee and tell her she’s getting a makeover or something.  But, Rosie, what’s next?  At the end of the day, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?  It seems like nobody wants to see you on TV, nobody wants to hear you speak, maybe you should go back to doing stand-up comedy in local pubs.  Damn, #seemsbleak, Rosie O’Donnell.  Seems really bleak.  What’s left for her?  Does anyone have an answer?

Is she cut out for the small screen or the big screen?

Did any of you guys see that documentary called ‘All Aboard Rosie’s Family Cruise’?  Yeah, Rosie O’Donnell got a bunch of gay parents and put them on a cruise ship and sailed around for a bit and took a vacation.  It was weird.  Have you guys seen ‘Harriet the Spy’ with Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Michelle Trachtenberg, where Rosie O’Donnell plays an obese nanny that basically walks out on the family?  What about ‘Riding The Bus With My Sister’ where Rosie O’Donnell plays a mentally challenged woman and spends a good hour and a half running around screaming?  I think that is one of my favourite Rosie films.  But maybe we should all cut Rosie O’Donnell a break, though.  Let’s just tuck Rosie in, let her rest in bed for eight or nine years and then welcome her back with open arms.  She isn’t cut out for the big screen, she isn’t cut out for the small screen, so maybe she’ll dust off her tap shoes and see what Broadway’s all about.  Move over, Liza with a Z.

But, all in all, let’s cut her a break.

Rosie hasn’t been on television in quite some time and it’s clear that she forgot what it was like to host a talk show.  But, don’t you remember back in the day, when Rosie O’Donnell dominated the talk show tube?  You’d watch her in the morning, right after Regis and Kathy Lee.  She’d have on relevant guests like Madonna and Sinead O’Connor, Julia Roberts and Britney Spears.  Maybe it’s best that we remember Rosie as a snippet in television history.  That big girl in a blazer behind the faux wood desk, that obnoxious voice that didn’t seem to have an ‘indoor level’, and the only real ‘out’ lesbian on TV.  Best of luck to you, Rosie.  We wish you well.
