May 25, 2007 — ROSIE O’Donnell left “The View” with a bang, not a whimper, following her on-air smackdown with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday.

Yesterday, Rosie’s chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the building after she was caught drawing mustaches on photographs of Hasselbeck that hang in the “View” studios.

The Post’s Adam Buckman reports ABC confirmed in a statement only that “photographs at ‘The View’s’ offices were defaced. Rosie O’Donnell was not in the building. ABC Legal and Human Resources are investigating the matter.” Barber is an old friend of O’Donnell who worked with her years ago on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.”

There were also rumors O’Donnell was so angry after her argument with Hasselbeck that she trashed her dressing room, although ABC denied the tantrum.

Now, that’s mature.

Rosie ended up calling Elizabeth names (’cowardly’) and belittling her in their on-air argument. When someone starts responding to a ‘debate’ on that personal level they have lost the debate. In other words, they can’t hold their own with their opponent.

The fact that Rosie was unable to hold her own in that argument without her over-talking, bullying, name calling tactics could very well be what moved her to pitch a tantrum in her dressing room afterward. She just can’t handle ‘debating’ with someone who doesn’t act afraid of her. Especially when that someone is a cute blond woman.

As for O’Donnell, she’s been posting comments on her personal Web site, rosie.com, fueling speculation she might not return to “The View” ever again. Her scheduled last day is Wednesday, June 20.

When one fan wrote, “Work isn’t worth that battle,” Rosie replied, “Agreed.” Another wrote, “Please walk away. It’s not worth it.” Rosie replied, “Well, you know when it’s time to go.”

To a fan who asked when she would return, O’Donnell answered, “No idea.”

Yesterday, O’Donnell posted a video that may have symbolized how she’s feeling about “The View.”

The tape consisted of ducks swimming in a pond accompanied by an audio track of the John Mayer song “Vultures,” whose lyrics include “How will I hold my head to keep from going under?”

Well, the self-pity is just oozing on her blog apparently.

Rosie, GROW UP! You bring that on yourself with your hateful rants and constant bullying. Nobody ever likes bullies.
