Rosie Still Carries Scars From The View

Poor Rosie O'Donnell, she still has fears from dealing with a Republican:

Rosie O'Donnell can't seem to get over her spat with Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

As a featured guest on "The Martha Stewart Show" Tuesday, O'Donnell referred to her former co-host on "The View" as "a little Republican who scared me."

Here's how the conversation went:

Rosie: "I haven’t worked since 2002. Aside from 'The View' ... Let’s not mention it. Anyway ..."

Martha: "You did really well on 'The View.'"

Rosie: "I tried my best but it’s hard for me when I’m not the boss. There was people there telling me what to do. There was a little Republican who scared me."

Last year, Hasselbeck said she tried to keep her cool during her on-air spat with O'Donnell, in which a political discussion over the war in Iraq became heated when an angry O'Donnell decried Hasselbeck for not standing up for her when media outlets suggested that she'd called U.S. troops "terrorists" during a previous debate.

I'm guessing that in her regular life (if you can call it that) Rosie is surrounded by syncophants who wouldn't dare challenge her views, and she certainly has little if any contact with anyone who doesn't share her liberal politics. No wonder Republicans scare her so much.

Maybe she should seek counseling.
