Oprah Winfrey's new exercise in hubris, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) isn't doing so good in the ratings, coming out at number 40 among cable channels and number 41 in prime time, so she's decided on what seems to be a stroke of desperation in order to save her bacon and the billions of dollars of her personal fortune she's invested in the ill-advised venture. Pulling out all stops, she's hired none other than Rosie O'Donnell to host what she hopes will be the flagship day time talk show of the struggling enterprise.
Rosie O'Donnell-the woman who launched her own magazine, which failed miserably, and then invested much of her own personal fortune in a Broadway show about, and starring, Boy George, the creature with whom she is pictured below, an endeavor in which she might well have been victimized by what was possibly the biggest entertainment scam of the century.
This is a woman who is universally loathed, by almost all accounts, by the people who made up the staff of her own previous talk show venture, her one claim to an all too temporary success. Yet, Oprah seems to think so little of her own staff that she would subject them to this creature.
Did Oprah not learn from not only the things I have listed, but the broadly-held disdain with which O'Donnell is held due to her crazed leftist bent, which was fully on display in her one harrowing season on The View, as well as all her other public outings-or nearly anytime she opens her fat flapping mouth?
Oprah may have revealed her true colors with this move. Moonbats of a feather do tend to flock together. Soon, they might well have more than just their moonbattery in common however. They might also soon share another title-failure.
