Asian Poet Shoots Daggers of Diction at Rosie O’Donnell

We all need our checks and balances. And when the ever-watchful public eye has set its sights on you, the checks can come in torrents. Such is the case with Rosie O’Donnell. For that Chinese “accent” she recently performed on “The View,” Rosie’s receiving a hailstorm of nasty response from the Asian community.

One that’s generating some serious traffic on Youtube is the eloquent and forceful rebuke by poet Beau Sia, whose cool definition of “accent,” and snarky “plus-sized lesbian” remark, rang like a slap in the face – and we’re not even the targets.

We’re not sure what’s worse: Trumpster in a spitting rage, or the growing majority of the world’s population raging poetic justice against you.

What happened to the funny and gentle Rosie, circa Harriet the Spy? Bring her back. We are scared of this manic new one.

Thanks to Bill for the tip-off.
