Reality TV > Rosie Fans Create 'Fire Hasselbeck' Petition
May 30, 2007

OhNoTheyDidn't reports that over 21,000 signatures have been collected for a "Fire Elisabeth Hasselbeck" petition, created during the fallout from last week's argument between she and Rosie O'Donnell on The View.
If you haven't been following the story (though there isn't really much of one), Rosie and Elisabeth got into a huge argument over the Iraq War and Rosie's past comments that could have been construed as anti-American. Regardless of one's stance on the war, it was pretty plain to see that Hasselbeck is a complete moron. She frequently brought up stuff that was either (A) obviously untrue or (B) passive-aggressive material which she could use to attack Rosie.
Essentially, the argument, and the media's coverage of it (instead of "Hasselbeck is a crazy bitch" headlines, they were more along the lines of "Rosie gets angry on The View"), Rosie left early. Her fans (or, more likely, people who just hate Hasselbeck -- Rosie's okay, but does she seriously have 21,000 fans?) created an online petition to get Hasselbeck fired, which you can sign here.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why men don't watch The View. Apart from their inability to argue things in a somewhat rational manner, Rosie and Hasselbeck basically chewed each other out while ridiculously calling each other "sweet", and referring to one another as "good friends." Jesus.
