Rosie O'Donnell "Weighs" in on Antonella Barba Controversy

I have to give Rosie credit for one thing .... she's consistent. She shoots her mouth off about everything and everybody, without really thinking things completely through. Fresh off of shooting her yap off about Donald Trump, Clay Aiken, Kelly Ripa, Danny DeVito and co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck (and I'm sure I'm missing others) she allows her lips to stumble into the ring again about American Idol and Antonella Barba.

What's got her screaming now? Well, she's pointing out what she perceives to be inconsistent treatment of former American Idol contestant Frenchie Davis and current contestant Antonella Barba. Both contestants had racy photos of themselves on the Internet, but only Frenchie Davis was kicked off for it. What's the reason, acoording to Rosie? Racism and "weightism" (is that even a word?). Has Rosie looked around at some of the other contestants??? Or is she being deliberately short-sighted in order to enable yet another annoying, ratings chasing rant? I think "The View" has really become more of a televised, Rosie O'Donnell blog than anything else.

If Barbara's not careful with how much leash she lets the nut run with, I'm sure her potential guest list will get so small we'll all think we're watching episodes of the "Surreal Life." Rosie ... you've already lost any credibility that you may have had, so .... please ..... shut up.

It's a shame that Barba is being kept around on American Idol because of her "picture" ability instead of her singing ability. God help us all if she becomes the next idol. What kind of example will that set for the younger crowd??

I'd never have paid Antonella Barba any attention at all if Rosie hadn't run her obstreperous mouth as she always does. Consider me a new fan of Antonella Barba's. Oh, and know this well: Rosie O'Donnell has no right whatsoever to call anyone a racist. Rosie's "ching-chong" incident last autumn made her true feelings on race manifest for all to witness. Rosie O'Donnell has no business at all making moral prescriptions, and I wish that she'd just shut up and stop poking her nose into other people's business. What's more, Rosie is too dumb to see that her thinly veiled jealousy is laughable and pathetic. She should retire from "The View" and stop making a fool of herself, and Donald Trump should follow through with his lawsuit.
