So Rosie O'Donnell is getting that NBC variety show, even though it seemed impossible that this woman is still a ratings draw.

Starting next Wednesday, Rosie Live will air at 8 p.m., and is sure to include some fun guests. Not, though, any ladies of The View, who took their turns sharpening their claws against their former coworker today.

Said Walters on today's program:

There are some people who have done the show and then for years feel they have to dump on it… I resent it. If the shoe fits, lady, ladies, get on with your lives! We are not perfect. We are not always happy."

Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck agreed and Elisabeth singled out "one [year] more difficult than others".

Within seconds Walters was being told in her ear by the control room to "get on with it" and the subject was dropped.

You know, on the one hand, the stuff that happened between Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasslebeck on The View does seem like two gigantic egos with no room left on stage. But on the other, between Rosie and Star Jones, doesn't it seem like that a show of all women is eventually going to end in an estrogen-laden meltdown, and if anyone should know and respect the anger of former cast members, it's Barbara Walters?

Just saying: if Babs really wanted to put the bad blood behind her, she would have congratulated Rosie on her NBC score and moved on. Instead, it became a whole tirade on backstabbing, and hell, isn't there enough cat fighting in the media right now without setting other bad examples of what women (or Keith Olbermann and Christ Matthews) can do to each other?
