Rosie has a pet goose.

Prince Harry is apparently going to Iraq. Joy reminds us there is an heir and a spare, so it doesn’t matter if he gets killed.

Bob Woodruff and his wife come on, I’m a little disappointed this is my first exposure to his story. I didn’t want to well up just because Barbara says you should. Also Rosie politicized it, shocker. She wanted Woodruff to say she was right, instead of telling his story. Woodruff brought up the point that there were 16 mil soldiers in WWII, 12 mil in Vietnam and only 1.5 mil in Iraq, therefore many of us do not have any contact with someone serving in Iraq and it’s less personal. So Rosie decides to jump in and say really it’s because Vietnam was televised and we’re not allowed to see the dead bodies coming home from Iraq. While this is true, she minimized the larger scope of Woodruff's story in her rush to make a political point on the back of his mangled face.

This was somehow more offensive than Joy's comment that Thomas Jefferson raped his slaves.
