Rosie O’Donnell is Not Well
This is from National Review To all of the Rosie O’Donnell crackpot supporters who keep sending me bullshit on You Tube, pay attention. You people need some serious counseling or medications, seriously!
First came the blog post in which Rosie floated the insane conspiracy theory that World Trade Center 7 was blown up by the government. Then came her meltdown on The View when co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck confronted her about it. Finally, today, we find this follow-up on her blog (emphasis added):
9/11 affected me deeply, as I know it did many Americans. The falling of the twin towers served to remind me that many of the assumptions Americans have about their lives are rooted in false feelings of security. In light of this reminder, I have begun doing exactly what this country, at its best, allows for me to do: inquire. Investigate. America is great in so many ways, one of which is the freedom to speak, and indeed think, freely. I have, of late, begun exercising the rights bestowed upon me by the democratic system I value, and the exercising of these rights has taken the form of an inquiry into what happened five years ago, an inquiry that resists the dominant explanations and that dares to entertain ideas that push me to the edge of what is bearable. I have come to no conclusions and, given the scope of the subject, will not for some time.
If the very act of asking is so destabilizing for people, than I have to wonder whether the fabric of our democracy is indeed so raveled it is beyond salvage. My own belief is that the act of asking is itself reparative, because it brings to life the values on which our constitution rests. I am, therefore, pledging my allegiance, hand over heart, trying, as always, for a rigorous truth.
Re-read Popular Mechanics‘ thorough debunking of all flavors of 9/11 conspiracy theories if you need a reminder of how truly insane this is (and read its response to Rosie here).
Instead of going to therapy every day, this clearly unwell person is hosting a television show on a major American network. Someone at ABC has a very cruel sense of humor.

Rosie doesn’t say ANYWHERE that our government brought down WTC7 or that she thinks that. She says, as is her right, that she finds it odd/disturbing that there has been no official investigation made public as to why it fell and so she’d like a public investigation.
The fall of the twin towers was investigated to explain the physics of the collapes, but the WTC7 buildings demise was not included. This obvious discrepency makes Rosie and many people wonder why. She and many others would like an official examination of this event. Just because two other buildings fell that day shouldn’t make us resign ourselves to buildings collapsing without explanation. No fuel-filled plane hit WTC7. The fires were smaller than others that have not resulted in collapse. In fact, no other steel building has ever collapsed from just a fire. And isn’t it just a little wierd how it, too, fell in it’s own footprint?
How many times in history have we seen events, blunders, whatever, covered up only to be uncovered much later? After each of these scandals, I always think how much better off the guilty would have been to step up to the plate in the first place. Americans are not (or should not be) robotrons accepting flimsy alibis. We are a questioning group and we want the truth, that’s all. And btw, Popular Mechanics is NOT an offical government entity.
Americans deserve an official report. There … what’s so awful about that?
