I'll admit I'm not the biggest Rosie O'Donnell fan even though I saw her show in person once, many years ago. Patti's friend was a page for the show and we got good seats. But just because I don't like her doesn't mean she is not a bad person, just not my thing.
Last week on the show The View, Rosie O'Donnell made fun of Chinese people.
From www.families.com...
"On December 5th, O'Donnell was commenting on actor Danny DeVito's inebriated visit to the show when she broke out in what is now being called by the Asian-American community an "offensive accent." On the show O'Donnell said: "The fact is that it's (DeVito's drunken appearance) news all over the world. That you know, you can imagine in China it's like: "Ching chong. Danny DeVito, ching chong, chong, chong, chong. Drunk. The View. Ching chong.'""
I saw the clip on YouTube and it was as bad as it sounds. The only thing she didn't do was squint her eyes and stick out her front upper teeth.
So this sanctimonious hypocrite can rip Kelly Ripa for being homophobic, embarrass Tom Selleck on her TV show, attack Mayor Guiliani for cleaning up drunks on the streets of NY, equate fanatical anti-abortion crazies with basic Christians, degrade the NRA and try to come across as this politically correct ultra liberal, but when she takes some heat for making fun of Asians she gets offended. Hey, Rosie, if I did that at my job I would get fired. But you do it and call it comedy? Seriously, if I acted like that at a bar or at a party, people would look at me like I was the biggest jerk in the room. But she does it, and tells others to lighten up, that it was a joke.
Look, I have no issue with Rosie making fun of Asians. I might not find it funny, but it's a free country and people can do what they want. But don't be a hypocrite about it.
