Will the Ghost of Rosie O'Donnell Haunt Elisabeth Hasselbeck?

A post-Rosie threesome of Elisabeth Hasselback, Joy Behar and Barbara Walters made it clear that they are trying to move on after Roise O'Donnell's controversial departure from the show. However, (surprise, surprise) Rosie ain't going quietly. She has taken to her blog to compose goofy poems as well as videos of her intense disgruntled-ness about how the whole thing went down.

While Rosie said in a video posting on her blog that she didn’t envision speaking with Elisabeth Hasselbeck any time soon in light of last week’s politically charged smackdown, Hasselbeck was back on the air Tuesday suggesting that reconciliation was still in the cards.

“This weekend gave us the opportunity to tackle our most important hot topic yet, and that was the power of forgiveness,” Hasselbeck told the audience Tuesday. “And so now that enables us to move on in a very positive way… I’m very happy about that.”

However, Rosie's video posting suggested otherwise:

“I never tried harder to be friends with someone than I did with her from the get go, but I don’t think we ended up there, anywhere close… And I haven’t spoken to her, and I probably won’t, and I think it’s just as well. And I wrote her an e-mail, and she wrote me back. And there you have it.”

With "The View" ever shake itself of the ghost of Rosie O'Donnell? Will the show survive the eminent drop in ratings (unless they hire The Hoff). Rosie O'Donnell odds? You bet your ass we've got 'em.
