She's No Oriana
The Anchoress compares La Fallaci and Rosie O'Donnell:
So great is my respect for Fallaci, that to mention Rosie O’ Donnell in the same post feels like dipping roses into a land-fill. Both are fragrant but one rises in graceful beauty and the other simply emits noxious gas.
But I must mention O’ Donnell, because while she claims herself a woman of the left, she is the polar opposite of Fallaci, and I cannot let Fallaci go without focusing for a second on how far the left as devolved. Where resistance-member Fallaci was intelligently confrontational, trendy-cause committed O’ Donnell is merely shrill. Where Fallaci dared to look at the effects of Christianity and Islam on civilizations and see real differences and moral distinctions, O’Donnell casts a vapid, bigoted glance and calls them all cake, declaring: “Radical Christianity Is Just As Threatening As Radical Islam.”
After all, she doesn’t have to think. The thinking has been done for her by her co-ideologues. All she has to do is fall in line and parrot.

The MSM, including television and movies, have been working hard for years to acclimate the 1 sigma viewing public to gay and lesbian sexual behavior and to downplay offensive stereotypes. Now here comes Rosie O'Donnell again, ruining all that good work by exposing her unsavory person and personality. Someone needs to talk to that girl.

I agree with you.
Comparing Rossie with La Fallaci is like comparing day and night.
Rossie reads a script, while Oriana wrote the book.
