It is hard out here

Here is the deal with Rosie O’Donnell.

As much as I hate to say it, because he is showing no class in this spat, but Donald Trump is right. Rosie is a bully. Rosie, however, believes that she is the lesbian Abraham Lincoln, defender of all things gay and Clay Aiken. Although I have not done it, my bet is that if you polled some lesbians (make your own Miss USA joke here) they would not be thrilled with Rosie deciding to be their spokesperson.

Truth is Rosie is a classic bully. A bully loves to attack when there is no danger to them, like when Rosie went after universal sweetheart Kelly Ripa. But when somebody stands up to a bully, the bullies run crying. In Rosie’s case she runs crying while throwing out the homophobic cards raining down behind her like confetti.

People have a short memory, if somebody is entertaining, as Rosie has been so far on “The View”, they are going to forget about all the nasty revelations of abuse from Rosie towards her talk show staff. And let’s not forget the even uglier accusations against Rosie from the publishers and editors in the lawsuit after Rosie’s failed magazine. But a Rosie by any other name would still smell the same. Rosie will be mean-spirited Rosie and she will take down whoever she can.

So beware Bawa Wawa.

Even knowing that Trump can be petty, as his fight with Mark Cuban showed, why Trump, who should be happy with the attention he gets, chose to dive in the muck with Rosie nobody will know. This fight has unveiled some deep-seated insecurity that his comb-over already indicated. But even with his insatiable ego, you have to go with Trump in this ugly fray.
