Rosie O’Donnell- Heartless or practical?
Heartless, in my opinion.
Rosie O’Donnell criticizes Mount Hood search effort
As the rescue effort continues on Mount Hood, so do the costs, which some critics are saying is way too much.
The gentler sex? The compassionate women? The nurturers? You tell me.
Rosie O’Donnell and her co-hosts kicked off ‘The View’ Tuesday with the hot topic of the missing climbers on Mount Hood.
Rosie O’Donnell: "I read in the papers that over $2.5 million the search has cost so far to find these three men."
Jacque Reid, Guest Co-Host: "Here they are, they knew the storm was coming and they still opted to go out and who should pay the cost?"
Rosie O’Donnell: "What warrants 27 helicopters and 1,000 people looking? I just don’t understand."
Joy Behar: "Send this team over to New Orleans and fix that situation."
Feel the love.
Question to all three whiners: Would you feel the same if it was you up there? Or one of your kids? Or your spouses?
And while you are at it, show some freakin compassion to the families that might be watching your show, who might feel gratified that someone cares enough to look for their loved ones, even if it may only be to bring their bodies home.
Compassion matters.
Sheriff Joe Wampler with the Hood River Sheriff’s office has a few things to say:
Sheriff Joe Wampler with the Hood River County Sheriff’s Office has said all along that he is not looking at the cost of the rescue, he is looking for the men.
Wampler has poured his heart, soul and county’s manpower into finding the three climbers and resents the implications that the money would be better spent helping Katrina victims.
"I just want to reach out and grab her neck," he said. "I mean, literally. This is not stupid money. This is important money. This is about people’s lives."
He also addresses and debunks her claims about the cost:
At $6,500 a day, many may question the cost of the elaborate rescue effort, but Wampler said the bill is misleading. His crews would be working anyway and 90 percent of the rescuers are volunteers. It is not even costing the military extra money because the mission is being tagged as training.
"We can either spend our time in a simulator or a simulated environment or we can get the best experience in a real world situation like this," said Capt. Mike Braibish with the Oregon National Guard.
"As long as people are climbing mountains, there needs to be people to help them," said Darren Stone, owner of Climb Max.
Rosie continues to astonish me with the idiocy that spews out of her mouth.

Life Rosie. LIFE warrants people looking.
I am sure she would sing a different tune if it was her loved one, her partner, up there lost.
And Behar’s comments are rediculous being that BILLIONS of dollars have flowed into New Orleans and there are still cars / houses in the middle of the streets? The waste, the pork, and the lawmakers skimming that money for their own benefits and their own pet projects other than relief for the citizens.
It seems now that Rosie has been added to the show, Behar has turned into a little mini-me of Rosie. I half expect to see Rosie’s hand up Behar’s backside making the ‘dummy’ talk.
Meanwhile seems the Trump doesn’t like Rosie either, and will be suing her:

Earlier this afternoon Trump announced he is filing suit against the TV talk show host. "She says things that come to her mouth, she’s not smart, she’s crude, she’s ignorant and to be honest I look forward to suing Rosie," he told our cameras. "I’m gonna sue her and I look forward to it. She’s really very dangerous for the show."
Pretty much. The show in its present format swings so hard tot he left its hard to walk straight when watching it.
Rosie has stuck her foot in her mouth repeatedly and just chuckles it off.
And the sad part was that I used to like her, despite disagreeing with her. But now she is so wacked out it is hard to understand why she has not been sacked.
Because from what I understand the ratings are better than they were before, so the TV executives will put up with alot more flack from Rosie if she increases their viewership.
