1) Celebrity feuds. A waste of time.
2) Shouting “Sexual discrimination” at the drop of a hat.
But something about the new celebrity feud of Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump (who, in keeping with the spirit of mushing couples’ names together, I shall henceforth refer to as Rosie O’Donald) strikes me as worth commenting upon.
The O’Donald half of Rosie O’Donald is bìŧçhìņg that he was ill-used by Rosie for her comments over the irony of O’Donald serving as the arbiter of morality and second chances vis a vis Miss USA. (Personally, I think he did the girl no favors by letting her off. Dozens of Miss Americas have vanished into obscurity, but the one who was bounced because of immoral behavior is currently reigning supereme over on “Ugly Betty.” If the current Miss USA, whose name escapes me, had been fired for immorality, she’d have a Vanessa Williams-level shot at an ongoing career.)
Except here’s the thing: What Rosie said was no different, and no more vicious, then anything that was said on “The Daily Show” or “The Colbert Report” or “The Tonight Show” or “Letterman.” And I have to think that the only major difference between all of those commenters and Rosie is that they’re slim male heterosexuals and she’s an overweight female lesbian. I think he’s reacting not to what was said, but who said it.
And now he’s going ballistic over anyone (especially females…see a pattern yet?) who asks him about it, and he hasn’t twigged to the fact that the reason people keep asking him about it is because HE made it a cause celebre in the first place.
How dare women speak their minds and not know the place that O’Donald sees them best suited: Either on runways while sporting bathing suits, or as a loyal daughter at his side ganging up on Meredith Vieira.
