Rosie Leaving The View

well, it's official: rosie o'donnell will be leaving the View in june after only one year on the show. you can read all about it here, but i do have a few thoughts on the matter. i should preface these comments by saying that because of my schedule i haven't watched the show much at all since her first week as the new host (and was only watching it sporadically before that).

1) it seemed to me that joy felt a little threatened by having another comedian on the show and in the head-host position none the less. in the episodes i did watch she seemed to always be trying to get the last word/joke in to top rosie

2) donald trump is a big baby: neither one of them is innocent in the whole thing, but trump just came off looking like a real vindictive jerk.

3) walters seemed like she just didn't know how to handle her or the controversies that she arose.

4) overall, i like rosie as a host. i thought that she reinvigorated a show that had been getting kind of stale. not that i agreed with everything she said, but the show is all about opinions/'views' so what do you expect? i will now be very curious to see who they bring in to replace her. any ideas??

- again, i haven't watched the show much, so a lot of this is based on bits and clips i saw as well as what i read in the press. feel free to let me know what you think, and if you feel like i have misjudged/misinterpreted the ladies and the show.
