The Grayzone

Cage match

I don’t watch “The Apprentice” or “The View,” although I used to watch the former regularly.  The only “The” show I watch is “The Office,”  but I have taken a sadistic satisfaction in the Donald-Rosie war.  Why?  Because we finally have two public figures who aren’t letting press releases do their talking.  They’re unrehearsed, unscripted, unrelenting, and often unreasonable–but they’re genuine and not politically correct.

Now, don’t get me wrong:  I think Donald should stop calling Rosie a slob who talks like a truck driver.  His material should be saved for a Comedy Central roast.  And Rosie?  I actually can say that I miss the good old days when she was a VH-1 VJ.  Now we’re treated to her courageous stands against Kelly Ripa, Donald, American Idol, and Tom Selleck. 

Donald, Ward Cleaver told his son Beaver in 1962 that when you laugh at yourself, you take the other person’s fun away.  Why couldn’t you have done that 45 years later?  You’ve got more money than the free world, a beautiful wife, and you can actually say that you own Miss Universe.  So knock off the name-calling and make up so you can go on “The View” to promote “The Apprentice:  Fresno” next season.  I hope Star Jones is on the same show.
