Some "news" stories just beg for comment

I have a suggestion. Here's a war Commander-in-Chief Bush can get involved in and escalate to his heart's content:

The New York Post gossip column Page Six (on Tuesday) claims that Rosie O'Donnell angrily confronted Barbara Walters backstage at The View on Monday. She called Walters a (fucking?) liar, too, the newspaper said. O'Donnell was reportedly angry that Walters didn't call Donald Trump a liar. The newspaper sourced its story about the confrontation by saying "according to spies."

Besides keeping The View constantly in the news, O'Donnell has substantially increased the show's ratings this season. Trump appeared to get no lift from the feud in the ratings when the latest season of The Apprentice started last Sunday. The program's ratings fell short of those from last spring's season premiere. As one commentator put it, The Apprentice ratings weren't rosie.

Short of another Bush war my only other idea is Rosie and Barbara in a steel-cage match refereed by Star Jones, sponsored by Trump.
