There was always going to be one inevitable diversion to the recent bust-up between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View – Donald Trump rolling up his sleeves and windmilling into the fray screaming insults as loudly as possible.
So thank heavens that it has finally happened. After a tense day of wondering just when exactly Donald Trump was going to offer his belligerent, finger-jabbing response to the split-screen screechfest between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View this week, Donald Trump came to the rescue late yesterday, unexpectedly deciding to back Rosie O'Donnell in the fight and making the observation that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is "one of the dumber people in television." We're torn – while it's heartwarming that Donald Trump is capable of extending an olive branch of sorts to Rosie O'Donnell, he's basically just let an opportunity to string together an hour-long tirade of fat lesbian jibes slip through his fingers, and we're not sure we can ever really forgive him for such a schoolboy error.
Part of us wants to call the argument between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View this week a 'catfight', but we can't quite bring ourselves to do it since we've never actually seen a fight between a berserk, obese, borderline paranoid lesbian cat and a right-wing shithead cat who only communicates in high-pitched mermaid squeals, where points are scored by each cat trying to shriek their narrow-minded, semi-informed opinions louder than the other one. But if one of those catfights happened, you can bet that a ginger cat with a ridiculous combover would fly down in his gold-plated helicopter and call them both idiots.
You'll know what happened on The View this week by now. The usual formula of a group of women listening to Alec Baldwin try to explain why he verbally abused his daughter was dispensed with so that a woman who talks like she's having a stroke could read a list of reasons why George Bush should be fired. This caused Elisabeth Hasselbeck – a woman who's allowed to screech objectionable right-wing pro-gun nonsense on daytime TV because she won a gameshow once – to scream her retaliation at such a high frequency that even bats had trouble understanding it. In turn, Rosie O'Donnell started laying into Elisabeth Hasselbeck in her trademark aggressive way and the whole thing rumbled on tediously between the two of them – in split-screen – until someone said "Alicia Silverstone" and they all stopped.
Although Elisabeth Hasselbeck has said the feud was resolved instantly, and Rosie O'Donnell has written a weird haiku thing about squirrels about it on her blog, it's not too late to Donald Trump to give his take on the matter. Late last year, Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell had a fight where insults were hurled and allegiances were formed and Madonna got involved somehow. With this in mind, it seemed obvious that Donald Trump was going to use this new kerfuffle to go after Rosie O'Donnell yet again. However, it turns out that Donald is actually on Rosie's side. Sort of. Here's what Donald Trump told Extra, starting with a reaction to Elisabeth Hasselbeck calling him obnoxious:
"Well I am obnoxious, so on that she's right I must say but, y'know, Elisabeth is not a very smart person, she's one of the dumber people in television. To see that she supports the war, and she's solidly behind the war, give me a break. This one, I think, Rosie should win, but Rosie's not much herself… I think anybody who's against the war in Iraq is the winner in this fight because, to justify the war in Iraq, only an imbecile could do that."
It's hard to see how Rosie O'Donnell will respond to Donald Trump's partial backing – should she back down from her self-righteous tirades against him and lose face, or continue to insult him and look like a fool – but it's clear that Elisabeth Hasselbeck needs support from a former guest on The View to balance everything up. And she'll get one, just as soon as Danny DeVito sobers up and stops belching puke into his own mouth.

ROSIE I think you and Elizibeth should make up and take a stand agenst the dump truck. Elizibeth is young and opinionated and tuff. You are the same except you are older. I agree with you that she should have supported you and would not forgive her unless she appologized. Give her a chance.
There is a discusting e- mail going around about you and showing a picture of you as a terrist. I did not send it on and hope no one else does but many people love to hate.
I had not seen my daughter in many years and I took her to Hawii for a week. The last day I learned that she was an Elizibeth for Bush. We had a few words and then dropped it. I told her if Bush had heard her oppinion she would have been invited to the white house to meet the queen, also. There are 2 of them.

Rosie,
I will follow where ever you go. If any one should leave the show is the stupid blonde bimbo that hasn’t got a clue what that war is about. She should
send her husband to the war zone and she if she sings the same song. Some one should really push her off her pedistal… she isn’t anyone one but a
reality show contestant….
Love your politics…
wish we could talk some times…
