Rosie O'Donnell Doesn't Like American Idol

Rosie O'Donnell, for whatever strange reason, is always on my radar. I don't mean for her to be - I don't like her, I don't follow her, I don't Google search her or subscribe to her RSS feed. For whatever reason, O'Donnell is always popping up in front of me. I think it's because I am so diametrically opposed to everything she says and stands for that we are bound to discuss the same topics, albeit from opposite sides of the river.

Anyway, she shows up enough times in my blog that I've decided to giver her her own cross-reference label. See below and notice the new "Rosie O'Donnell" label. I'm sure I'll put it to good use.

The latest news about Rosie is that she is so out of touch with reality (that's not the news part) that she accuses American Idol of being sexist, racist, and weightist. Nigel Lythgoe, the shows producer, fires back that "viewers need only look at the show tonight to realize that ‘American Idol' constantly confirms to America that talent has nothing to do with weight or color."

Additionally, he said that "Ms. O'Donnell has, once again, spoken without thought or knowledge" - an oft repeated sentiment around these parts.

Nigel is right. Why would Rosie accuse of American Idol of being racist? The last time I looked, there were six white-ish looking people, five african american-ish looking people, and an Indian guy. In my estimation; two are thin and the rest are medium to heavy builds. What is Rosie talking about?

Rosie, in reply to Nigel, posted on her website,"Well, what can you say really? I call it as I see it." The problem is she sees the world through Rosie-colored glasses. That is to say, she's as blind as Queen is British.

Here's a random clip of Rosie hanging upside down.



She's insane.
