Open Letter to Rosie O'Donnell: Don't Back Down Girlfriend!



(UPDATE #2: Rosie speaks - watch it here)

(UPDATE #1: It was suggested that Rosie replace Don Imus at MSNBC - I agree, and after all turnabout is fair play especially when you're a media outlet holding yourself out to be impartial journalistically you may as well give another perspective a fair and equal shot.)

Okay, I went to Rosie's Blog to see what she's got to say about things. While there, I wanted to send a quick note of support for her strong and principled stance on a variety of controversial issues.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to send her my support via email from her site, so what the hell, this is my open letter to Rosie, and it's a short one:

Dear Rosie:

Don't you dare back down girlfriend. Some one in the media's got to have some balls on the important issues of the day, and it looks like it's going to have to be you.

Had you been on TV speaking your mind, bringing up the issues and stimulating some semblance of a conversation back in 2001 thru today, maybe things would have turned out differently regarding the 9/11 investigation, Iraq, and the criminal republicans and their complicit media.

We need you. We need your voice and the controversy it arouses (at least among white middle-aged men). We need you maybe now more than ever, so DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE BACK DOWN and let the uninformed, brainwashed, stupid lemmings like Elizabeth Hasselbitch get away with their harmful drivel.

Now, what we need is a new version of the Rosie show where you run the damn show and it's all about these issues, your perspective, alternative information and fact. You'd be like the counter-Coultergeist - it would be AWESOME!

With respect,

--Shella
