Barry Manilow seems to have found some stones in his old age. This week The Manilow himself told ol' Barbara to "go fuck herself" by not appearing on that estrogen injected blabberfest know as "The View." Manilow cited his friendship with Rosie "The Mouth" O'Donnell as his reason for this splendid FU to Barbara Walters. A bold move, Manilow...considering your target audience mainly consists of middle-age females and confused high school freshmen. 

What will this do to Manilow's record sales? Beats the crap out of us. If you care, I recommend that you visit those corporate weenies over at Rolling Stone. Now here at Blogs n' Roses we promise to deliver the sort of hard-hitting follow-up this story deserves. I will personally track the ebb and flow of Manilow vinyl at local Salvation Army and Goodwill thrift stores because there's a helluva lot more Manilow to the had there than on The View (although I suspect that is because eccentric men in used clothes have already cherry-picked the Black Oak Arkansas albums leaving the Manilow detritus behind.)

Now before you knee-jerk types start the Rosie flame fest allow me to put this whole mess in proper perspective.

Rosie O'Donnell has a giant mouth and gets her jollies from pissing off a bunch of wannabe macho types who fear strong women. She's just a windbag that desperately wants attention...if you didn't care, like me, then she would shut the fuck up and the world would be a better place.

Elizabeth Hasselback is a prissy bitch who is married to fucking meathead football player who most likely can't get an erection unless he is holding a gun to her head. She is like one of those shallow Hooters waitresses who thinks that they are entitled to something because equally shallow men find them attractive and ordinary guys with ugly girlfriends fantasize about her instead of thinking about their ugly girlfriends. Much like Rosie this dick-buzzard should be ignored.

Now this brings us to the big enchilada...Barbara Walters. Barbara, you are 100% anchorman scum. You can't be filmed without at least 50 filters that hide your age and you use that Diane Sawyer fake pity voice during moments of tragedy. Lets face it, you only care about yourself and you probably went down on Andy Rooney in the '60s.

I would also like to say that I hate Barbara Walters, The View and Diane Sawyer.

Below is a picture of my ideal lineup for The View. That dastardly Barbara Walters has been replaced by Dieter from Sprockets and the remainder of the cast is rounded out by Debbie Matenoupolous, Barry Manilow and The Motor City Madman, Terrible Ted Nugent.
