The angry oversized lesbian is auditioning to take Kimmel's job and Kimmel is said to have hand-picked her, bringing her out of her retirement in Ireland to shriek at average Amerricans about how much she hates Donald J. Trump.
Well, at least she's a Trump hater going way back. Her feud with Trump began before he even got into politics.
When I first got a computer back around the turn of the century I downloaded a game "Rosie v. Donald" in which Rosie's forked tongue came out to lash Trump and he responded by flipping his orange hair at her. Silly fun then. But who would have thought people would take her seriously and she would wind up being brought in as a guest host for the departing Kimmel, who is leaving because of terrible ratings? And why does the network believe O'Donnell will fare any better with her unique brand of rage and Trump hatred? How is she any sort of change?
Real change would be replacing Kimmel with a conservative comedian. But that won't happen, no matter how much someone would love Dennis Miller or Joe Rogan.
This is proof that the networks are all about "how can we fool 'em today" rather than about reflecting America. Not one single network would consider appealing to what is obviously a major part of the market. Instead the appeal to the fringe and can't understand why the public doesn't support their choice.
Well, they believe they can MAKE the public support their choices by sheer repetition and cornering the market. It used to work, too, when there was no other options. But now we have a multiplicity of choices; why put up with being insulted when you can go elsewhere?
Brining Rosie back is like bringing back O.J. Simpson as a movie star. Nobody has any use for it.

I thought Rosie had returned to the U.S. Not that I give a rat's patootie, you understand...

As I understood it she didn't come back fully - just came back temporarily. I guess she's going to make this a permanent thing. The State Department should deny her entry on the grounds she's an Irish terrorist.

I would prefer that the State Department take a "Oh, is she here again? Do we really care?" attitude. Don't give her a reason to be a martyr. She really can't cause any harm -- unless someone looks hard at her.
