Rosie O'Donnell is lucky to be alive -- the 50-year-old talk show host/actress revealed Monday that she had a heart attack last week. In her typical poetic style, she wrote the following blog post titled "my heart attack," about what happened after she helped an "enormous woman" who was struggling to get out of her car:

"a few hours later my body hurt
i had an ache in my chest
both my arms were sore
everything felt bruised."

She continues,

"i became nauseous
my skin was clammy
i was very very hot
i threw up

maybe this is a heart attack
i googled womens heart attack symptoms
i had many of them
but really? – i thought – naaaa

i took some bayer aspirin
thank god
saved by a tv commercial"

Rosie is said to be "at home and resting comfortably" now after doctors inserted a stent (her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked), but it looks like she had a pretty close call -- especially because she didn't call 911.

That was a no-brainer.

Rosie?
All I can say is WHY do people like this get all the breaks and the good ones don't?

So who cares about Rosie O'Donnell? She's a hateful, vengeful, so-called comedian with a bad temper and a dirty mouth. She can die and make the world a better place!

Someone should say the same about you.

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/08/24 12:57:36

Just tell me, what actually has she done that is meaningful besides opening her racist fat trap?

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/08/24 19:42:37

I don't even know who she is. But you still shouldn't wish death upon people.

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/08/25 10:58:31

You should not imply things that are not true. Liberal by any chance?

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/08/30 01:23:05

I don't consider myself liberal or conservative. Neither do I consider myself democrat or republican. Those 4 simple things brings people apart way too much. Imagine seeing someone say the same about you?

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/08/30 13:12:39

First up, where do I wish death on anybody in my remark? Second, what has she done that impacted our life in a positive way?

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/09/01 04:42:09

Saying her death would make this world a better place sounds like you want her dead, and can't wait. What have you done to impact random billions of people's lives in a positive way?

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/09/01 11:20:26

More than you can ever imagine......................

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/09/02 21:05:58

I HIGHLY doubt that.

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/09/03 23:05:22

You don't know me so don't make assumptions unless you are a liberal...................

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/09/05 02:08:57

I'm neither liberal or conservative. Stop making assumptions that I'm a liberal, will you.

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/09/05 12:27:20

So don't act like one. By the way, how many tours have you done?

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/09/05 22:59:25

This is getting boring.

reply
Angus to Skye 2012/09/06 12:23:52 (edited)

Just as I figured. You have nothing to bring to the table. Come back when you're done with school and when you have an actual paying job.

reply
Skye to Angus 2012/09/06 23:46:46

No seriously... It's been like what... 2 weeks. I thought you were done with this already. Plus what does paying jobs have to do this? Whatever bye.

Angus to Skye 2012/09/07 11:04:29

Your not helping your case at all. Is this dicsussion too challenging for you?

Rosie is just one fat, loud-mouth liberal. I'm not really concerned about what happens to her. Besides, she is just going to cancel my vote in November! Maybe is she shaved her chest hair none of this would have happened!

Any of them would scare me, but Bret's sounds the worst. Although a brain tumor would beat him until it was diagnosed benign.
