Rosie says, "Be tolerant of my ignorance....it was just comedy!!"

Wonder if Michael Richards could have gotten away with that??

If you haven't been clued in on Rosie's "humor" recently on "The View", mocking Asians while explaining how the drunk Danny DeVito appearance would be covered in, say, China.

Well, click here for the story.

I do want to emphasize the statement from her spokesperson....

"She's a comedian in addition to being a talk show co-host," Cindi Berger, O'Donnell's spokeswoman, said in a statement. "I certainly hope that one day they will be able to grasp her humor."
On Dec. 8, O'Donnell wrote in her
blog "it was not my intent to mock." She clarified her position on Dec. 10, calling the bit "comedy."


Grasp her humor?? Heh?? What?? Comedy??

When she does something, it's comedy. When you do something, it's despicable. I think it's a very fair statement to say, when it comes to insulting a race of people, there's no real difference between the actions of O'Donnell and that of Richards a few weeks back.

Whether Richards was truly sorry, we don't know.....he did say he was. Either sincerity or damage control.

Rosie? She just chalks it up as "comedy" and her self-perception of her perfection continues.

Remember, Rosie also showed keen insight into today's Evangelical Movement back in September by saying....

Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have separation of church and state…"

I have no problem with her saying this. I don't want to call for any boycott. If anything, it makes me sad that she would make such a statement without obviously doing any serious analysis of Christians in 21st Century America.

Last time I went to a Baptist church, for example, I don't remember the women veiled and ordered to shut up, or a business meeting after church to discuss finding and apprehending a church members' cousin who recently converted to Islam so he could be tried, convicted, and beheaded.

You want a Christian jihad?? Bring the subject of "what color carpet do we want in the new fellowship hall?" up at a church members' meeting and see what hell breaks loose!!!
