Marriage of Convenience? No, Rosie O’Donnell Had a Marriage of Vengeance

Posted on | August 7, 2010 | 16 Comments

The most absurd episode of Blame Bush Syndrome evah!

“George Bush, in the middle of a war, had an all-station news conference to announce how horrible it was for the safety of America that gay people were getting married in San Francisco, which pissed me off enough to get on a plane and go get married . . . It was like an act of . . . defiance . . . If you’re gonna count up everybody who you think is not of value and round ‘em all up and slap a pink triangle on ‘em.”

You see that O’Donnell has bought into the Bush-as-Hitler analogy so deeply that she deploys it automatically, unthinkingly, with this divisive “pink triangle” nonsense. Furthermore, like many of those on the Left, Rosie is so accustomed to getting her news filtered through biased venues, that she “remembers” things that never happened.

Tim Graham fact-checks Rosie’s bogus history, pointing out that there was no “all-station news conference” and that Bush’s 2004 statement was actually a very thoughtful and measured expression of the conservative position on marriage.

It’s sad, but not really surprising, to think that Rosie’s San Francisco wedding with Kelli Carpenter was merely a political publicity stunt — which is what Rosie means when she misuses the phrase “civil disobedience.” We could scarcely expect any union solemnized under such a pretext to endure, and the dissolution of the O’Donnell-Carpenter romance was one of those “second time as farce” episodes:

Rosie was talking about her long-haired chihuahua Misty with pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick . . . And she then revealed further, “What happened [was] when Kelli moved out two years ago, I got the dog. Because I wanted another child or something to love. And I got the dog.”

“I got the dog,” indeed! Speaking of marriage and children, pro-life blogger Jill Stanek notes how Judge Walker’s decision in San Francisco v. Schwarzenegger is being likened to Roe v. Wade.

Further commenting on the undemocratic nature of Judge Walker’s ruling, Melissa Clouthier of Liberty Pundits expects that “the disenfranchised masses will add this to the list of ways that the government treats them as worthless dung.”

That sentiment ought to be repaid with interest Nov. 2.

UPDATE: Dan Riehl calls attention to the news that Ann Coulter will address an event being billed as “Homocon.” NTTAWWT.

    So let me get this correctly, when Rosie and Kelli split, Kelli lost the dog?

    Actually Rosie O’Donnell did support George W. Bush briefly after 9/11. Which lead to a few headlines like the one above.

    But her moment of clarity passed.

    Remember Rummy becoming a sex symbol?

    The immediate post-9/11 days were weird. A peek into a world where pop culture and pop media didn’t hate Republicans.

    You misunderstood her. She was not referring to the president.
