Rosie Calls Elisabeth a Really Naughty Word

Still bitter, but doesn't want to restart feud

(Newser) – The View catfight is back on! Even though she’s no longer on the show, Rosie O’Donnell is still dissing former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck—most recently calling her a name that Fox News coyly says “starts with a ‘t’ and rhymes with ‘swat.’” The insult came during a recent stand-up routine during which Rosie also renamed the show The Screw You and her nemesis “Elisabeth Half-a-brain,” an audience member says.

Of course, she “then moved on to a different subject, saying she really didn't want to start a new feud, or restart an old one,” the source says.

Oh, dear Rosie. She is not funny so she has to rely on shock value.

I agree with Rosie she's a nitwit and a TWAT for sure and whenever I see that clown Elizabeth Hasselbeck I throw up in my mouth.

Before reading the article and knowing Rosie, I was *certain* the word was going to...start with a C and rhyme with punt... ;o)
