w0ot! I'm the first comment of probably more than 500-600! Why do posts mentioning Katie Couric, Meredith Viera and Rosie have SO many comments on here?

Bah, who cares about Rosie anyways? Only women watch her show :P

Rosie announced on the show today that she only wanted one year and ABC wanted three years and after negotiating for a while, they couldn't come to an agreement. They are saying she will be back to guest host next season and she will still help with special hours on things like autism and other causes she is interested in.

I know all the Rosie haters come out of the wood work whenever there is a post about her. I don't always agree with her but I find it refreshing that she does speak her mind and get people to think about issues in a different way. I will miss the clashes in ideals with Elisabeth. I think she made the show better because Elisabeth and Joy now speak their minds more than they ever have. I won't miss how she stomped on some of the other hosts viewpoints when they were against hers.

The View is a rare format with Hot Topics and you actually do have four women openly discussing current news. We don't get that enough. I appreciate what Rosie brought to The View, even if I didn't agree with her view or with how she expressed her view sometimes.

If one person wanted one year and another 3 wouldn't the agreement be 2?

Plus it's too late now, supposedly, for her to start her own show again for the fall 2007 season. That's most likely why she will be guest hosting next year.

Plus if she gets her own show again what will that be like? She's a bitch on The View and that's why people watch, she wasn't like that on her own TV show.

Yes, the show can go back to being in its golden stage, I loved it better when she wasnt there, though I have to agree Rosie did make a few of their discussions quite interesting.

Rosie is a fat ultra-liberal bitch with a mouth the size of Texas and a brain the size of a pea. She was probably good for rating, but I say good riddens to a very ugly women, inside and out.

I haven't watched the view since she came. Time to program the dvr for 10am again...woohoo!!

Rosie O'Donnell is one of the biggest idiots ever put on TV. The fact that she actually gets no real punishment for her ridiculous commentary, while Imus got fired, is beyond a double standard.

This moron actually publicly accused the government of the US of orchestrating 9/11, and had the nerve to talk about physics. I'd be surprised if she could even spell physics, let alone talk like she's an authority on the subject.

This woman, and I use that term loosely, should not be on television. I hope she gets hit by a bus, but the bus isn't damaged.

I'm not a huge Rosie fan but I will admit that she does bring an element to the show that makes it interesting. I don't always agree with Rosie but at least she has the ability to see beyond her life experiences. Elizabeth on the other hand cannot appreciate or even put forth an effort to understand those different from herself. I would rather watch Star Jones talk about her over rated wedding.

Rosie was a breath of fresh air! She is one our generation's greatest humanitarians too. I wish she'd reconsider her contract. The View will suffer without her.

Lavana, why the hostility towards Elisabeth? It sounds like you are describing the intolerant Rosie.

LOL Guess I don't need to voice my opinion. Sounds like the majority here are in FULL agreement about Rosie and her big mouth and even bigger puke factor..

In related developments Rosie will now be taking Don Imus' place on MSNBC's morning show funfest...J/K.

Have they thought about the Rivers duo. They are currently on the bread line and not doing anything at the moment.

She looks like Jackie Gleason.

JOY! PEACE! Ding dong, the witch will be GONE!!!! Her anti-life and anti-Christian diatribes are just one of the reasons I'm DELIGHTED (NOT-SO) ROSIE Will be GONE!! Then, of course, her idiotic squabbles with Donald trump are downright jouvenile!!

Here's something I'd LOVE to be able to say to her, but as this is the closest I'll get...

Me: Rosie, where do you come from? Not what PLANET, but how did you get here?

Rosie: (shrugging) My parents, I assume.

Me: Exactly. And yet you have no problem with killing a baby because you see it in abstract terms. And since you can't make a baby (with another woman), it's a moot point. But what if your mother had the 'RIGHT TO CHOOSE' as you're so proud of declaring? Do you wish that your mother had utilized that "REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE" to get rid of you? If I were 'The Donald', I'd say YES! BOY, do I wish she had utilized that right!

As the old saying goes; "You live by the crushing forcsepts, you die by the crushing forcepts".

Bye, bye, ROSIE!

Wherever their is controversy Rosie is not far behind. From the very beginning of her short-lived career on "The View". When the producers discovered Rosie was interested they manufactured a controversy concerning Star Jones so they could manipulate ratings and replace her with the highly coveted Rosie. Unfortunately, ever since Rosie has been on the show, there has been a daily deluge of personal character attacks against anyone that may merely disagree with Rosie's opinion. After a year on the show Rosie has showed the inability, emotionally speaking, to agree to disagree while engaging in a debate format without having utter contempt for those who have well thought out opposing views.

Does any one believe that crap about being "unable to come to a contract with ABC"?

I have to admit that I really liked Rosie on The View.

She is outrageous and very left-of-center, but is completely aligned with the original mission of the show which was to include different types of women (age, race, etc.) with different points of view.

With this news, who will Elizabeth, bless her conservative heart, have to argue with?

Well Const,

Just pay attention on the next show and I'm sure she will make some primative off the wall statement. She's the most sheltered individual. There is not always a right and wrong. Sometimes things are all relative to the person experiencing them. That she does not get

Crambam -

If you're going to bash the woman, get your facts right. She did not say the U.S. government had any hand in 9/11 attacks. All she said was that the collapse of the WTC7 building was suspicious, and she referred viewers and blog readers to experts who said building 7's collapse looked oddly like a controlled demolition.

I for one will be sad to see Ro go. I didn't agree with her all the time, but she sure made things interesting.
