When asked by a fan on Twitter earlier this week if she would ever consider playing Steven Bannon on SNL, Rosie O’Donnell replied:
@calvininsf – i am here to serve – alec has trump – melissa has spice – i would need a few days to prepare – so if called – i will be ready
— ROSIE (@Rosie) February 7, 2017
This got the rumor mill going. Then yesterday, Rosie changed her official Twitter picture to a photoshopped image of her face on Steve Bannon’s head, and her followers quickly took notice:
Oh, my, GOSH! @Rosie would OWN a Steve Bannon skit! SNL needs to make this happen and soon! ?? https://t.co/LevMAEInXn

We’ve already seen Alec Baldwin play Donald “Easy D” Trump and Melissa McCarthy do a frighteningly authentic Sean Spicer. We’re pretty sure Trump’s sworn nemesis would make an excellent Bannon.
Baldwin is set to host this weekend’s episode and he promised it would be yuge and a real “big deal.” We’re looking forward to seeing if it will include Ms. O’Donnell. Almost as much as we’re looking forward to seeing Donald Trump‘s inevitable 3 AM Twitter meltdown over it.

She looks like and angry dyke. Oh, wait, she is.

Actually she looks pretty amazing as Bannon. Probably in your mind all lesbians are “angry” unless they conform to your heterocentric stereotype of appropriate femininity.
However, what gay or lesbian US citizen wouldn’t be angry to some extent, given the hideous shift in the administration? Unless perhaps, they are stupid, drug addled, deluded, or wealthy enough to foolishly think the burgeoning hatred will not affect their lives?

I’m pretty sure he didn’t say “all lesbians”, he said Rosie O’Donnell because she is an angry lesbian. Just look at how she talks to her daughter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VYTlw8xBWU and even the Youtube comments agree that Rosie is a very disgusting person because of those comments. What kind of mother says that to their child?

She needs just a little more reddish blotchy makeup to mimic President Bannon’s hard-core alcoholic look. And a little more of a homeless look – disheveled clothing, maybe some insects crawling around, that sort of thing.

don’t forget the basal cell lesions.

I’ve always thought there was a bit of the “Tertiary Syphilis” look mixed in there as well.

two brain cells left, held together by a spirochete….and some clown gave him penicillin. 800+ companies have pulled advertising from Breitbart.

Just implant some nuts and her alternative genitalia will be perfect.

This is what angry leftists are reduced to……SNL spoofs once a week.
Meanwhile, President Trump and the Republicans are running the country.
1EqualityUSA
800+ companies pulled their advertisements away from Breitbart, so it’s more than leftists who are angry.
DCguy
No, actually stores are dumping Trump products right and left. Sorry if his base can’t keep that from happening. And by leftists, do you mean people who aren’t anti-;gbt bigots?
Kieran
I can definitely see Rosie transitioning. Get ready for Rocky O’Donnell.
Xzamilloh
Looks like a butch Kathy Bates.

Get more women to play the men in trumps circle. It drives him crazy they say because they look “weak”. Even get a woman to play trump! Baldwin does a nice job but we really want to get under trumps skin more.
Jack Meoff
I don’t get why some gay men feel it is OK to make homophobic remarks against someone they don’t like such as some of the comments above. If a straight person made these comments about Rosie or any other gay person in the public eye you would all be outraged. If you don’t like or agree with her say so but don’t use homophobia to say it.
Bob LaBlah
I’m willing to be that no matter how funny her skits will be she will eff this gig up just like she did all the rest. She is the real life version of the stereotypical frustrated unsmiling lesbian. Even when she laughs she looks frustrated.
James Hart
Rosie O’Donnell is the ugliest woman on earth. Why anyone pays attention to her is beyond comprehension.
