Dear Rosie O'Donnell,

So Rosie O'Donnell called President Bush a war criminal. We can add this to the list of complete nonsense that comes out of this woman's mouth. She has complained nonstop about this country that treats her incredibly well, even accusing the government of staging 9-11 (the first time steel melted by fire? Ever heard of the Iron Age, Rosie?) So, just for fun, let's see how Rosie would fare in other countries.

Homosexuality is a crime in 75 countries. 9 execute homosexuals. Rosie O'Donnell would be killed in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Mauritania, Sudan, Nigeria, Yemen, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates. The rest just fine, imprison, put to hard labor, and/or beat you if you're gay.

Meanwhile, here in the United States, the primary legal concerns are marriage and adoption. (Though I did love the romantic reason Rosie married her wife -- to make a political statement. That does have to warm the heart. It would be like me saying I married my Mexican wife to make the white supremacists mad. My wife told me she would not be too keen on marrying me for that.)

She would also be in trouble in Germany for "Insult" -- a punishable crime, as is "defamation" and "hate speech." The latest outburst would have landed her in jail in Germany for at least the first two. She would have certainly faced at least imprisonment and probably death in places like China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Cuba for saying the kinds of things she has about their leaders as she has about Bush. This is another thing for which she should be thrilled to live in the U.S. with George Bush as President (along those lines, you better stay on Hillary Clinton's good side if she become President -- I'm not expecting prison, but the Clintons are infamously nasty to perceived enemies).

In many countries, especially Islamic countries, she would have few if any rights as a woman, and would not be allowed to show much else than her eyes in places like Saudi Arabia.

In over half the countries in the world she wouldn't be fat, either.

So really, there are few countries where Rosie O'Donnell could be who she is: a fat, obnoxious, loud-mouthed lesbian married to her wife and raising her adopted children -- let alone be rich at it.

For that Rosie should show some thankfulness this Thanksgiving rather than being a jerk. It might be a nice change of pace for her too.

Now if Rosie read this, it would make her cry. Not that it would change her any, she would just accuse you of picking on her, and then she would cry some more.
I'm no psychologist, but I think the woman needs help.

Hi Dr. T.
It's always great to when someone points out reality to spoiled brats like Rosie. I especially appreciate your line "In over half the countries in the world she wouldn't be fat, either." So true. Isn't it funny that folks like Rosie and other loud-mouths like her never know how good they have it? Everyone has the right to complain, but complaints should be tempered with reality. Your post illustrates this nicely. Happy Thanksgiving. -Mike
