Rosie O'Donnell should be REPRIMANDED! (Better?) :)

I think that what Anita is trying to convey is -- There will be millions of women blondes out there who believe everything they hear ... and if they don't have a family dog, they'll prolly try substituting in the family cat.

Hey Stardust,

:nbiteme:

Bell,
If it makes you feel any better.  I LIKED Rosie until she went too far (IMHO) with her beastilaity comment, sooooo, I had no reason to jump to any conclusions. 
Rosie is a public figure and should be just a tad more responsible.  How many morons are now going to try her method of clearing up diaper rash?
Did you see the show?  I'll check later if I can find a clip online so you can come to a conclusion after seeing the facts.

I don't disagree with you, Anita. I do think that it has a lot to do with who she is. If you find a clip, let me know. I rarely watch daytime tv.

smart asp.

My daughter is blonde to the bone!!!  Hubby (who ALWAYS defends her) even says, "When she was handed her high school diploma, she must have had to exchange it with her common sense."

[BellisimaJ.]

But, but, but.....it's not cause she's blonde!

Rosie is loose cannon. Bah-bah must be desperate for ratings.  Kim

Okay, to further muddy the waters here:

http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF12/1234.html - article about a science experience using dog saliva

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Health/story?id=1213870 - ABC news article

http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mmouth.html -

http://www.heathermillsmccartney.com/for...t2069.html - strange post about "purr therapy" - thought it was interesting

http://www.godsdirectcontact.org/eng/news/162/an3.htm - yet more stuff about dogs licking wounds

So, this "theory" is part of folk lore, old wive's tales, or whatever, and who's to say that some of it isn't true?  I agree that to recommend it on network television, whether she purposely exaggerated it for comedic effect, is NOT a good move.  But to have the police arrest her - nah. 

Modified to add:  AND I'm not usually a big Rosie O'Donnell fan - I watched her talk show for about 15 minutes total, but I actually caught her the other day on The View, and I thought (1) she was a conversation hog) and (2) she added some much needed LIFE to that show.

That seems to sum it all up nicely, Patrice.  ;D

[Anita]

Patrice,
I know all about dog saliva and such healing, BUT in today's day and time... to make such a suggestion.  *barf*


PS
Did you know it is also said that urine will cure an ear infection?  If you were a high profile person, would you say that on national TV?

PSS  I'm not arguing with you... really.

That deserves an even bigger EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. 

Edited to add: Nice title! You snuck that in on me.
