… or it Hamas? I used to think Rosie O’Donnell was just a deadly boring loudmouth. Now… with this picture of her child…. I think should be put away. Any television network who puts the mother of a child posed like this on the air should have its collective head examined.

1. CTRepublican:That’s not any worse than what Atlas Shrugs puts her daughters through in her “vlogs” — on a weekly basis.
Not that I disagree with you. The sooner Pam is off the streets, the better.

Jun 26, 2007 - 3:08 pm 3. Michael J. Totten:Her fan base finds that picture even more offensive than I do. Lots of them say they are literally crying over it.
Rosie has her own time zone.
Jun 26, 2007 - 3:41 pm 4. Grumpy Old Man:The child looks malnourished, too.
Jun 26, 2007 - 9:02 pm 5. kg2v:Silly gut doesn’t even realize that you put the base of the cartridges towards your neck so the points don’t rip you up
Sigh
Jun 27, 2007 - 2:43 am 6. Lem:Rosie’s kid pic pales in comparison to Paris parading out of the pen ala red carpet.
I don’t think that a poor choice of play toys rises to the level of bad parenting. If anything it tells me Rosie may believe her child should be exposed to a wide and ‘diverse’ play experience. Baby, you can do anything a man can do, gender role reversal – whatever.
As to her war/gun stand? That may just be show business, that Tom Selleck spat was just an act. Some of you may remember she did own a gun at one time.
I mean, it’s not like she is running for president. Aren’t we allowed to be complicated anymore?
Jun 27, 2007 - 5:46 am 7. Lem:Well well, what do we have here
Jun 27, 2007 - 7:04 am 8. Buddy Larsen:Lem is right–we’re all the same. Benedict Arnold just wanted the best government for his people, Al Capone and Pablo Escobar were only helping folks cope with anxiety, Timothy McVeigh was simply trying to make his voice heard, Jeffrey Dahmer merely enjoyed nice steaks just like anybody else, and Rosie wouldn’t be glorifying terrorism if Chimpy McBushhitler and his little country America weren’t soooo evil.
Jun 27, 2007 - 8:45 am 9. Joanne Jacobs:To be fair, Rosie’s video says that last year her daughter liked to dress as a princess (many photos) and now she likes to dress as a soldier (one photo). (That’s all it says.) So the waif is supposed to be a soldier, not a terrorist.
It’s hard to figure out what Rosie was thinking when she bought her child a cartridge belt, photographed her and put her online. It seems unwise, at a minimum, to subject her child to that kind of publicity.
Jun 27, 2007 - 9:06 am 10. Lem:I thought that not altering our way of life was a legitimate way to combat the islamist.
Granted, I don’t think that’s what rosie had in mind. Who knows?
But Godwin’s Law is this = close to being broken.
Jun 27, 2007 - 9:37 am 11. Buddy Larsen:LOL–right you are, Lem. I’m guilty, thanks for only the mildest slap–
Jun 27, 2007 - 10:28 am 12. Buddy Larsen:The photo should not be judged in light of all that Building 7 insanity.
But, it was an easy mistake to make, and it was easy to make because

Eh whatever, I’m just eagerly awaiting the premiere of Riding the Bus With My Sister 2 and maybe if it’s a hit she can do Honey, I Ate the Kids!
