Rosie O’Donnell to Battle Barbara Walters in Steel Couch Match

Rosie O’Donnell hasn’t even started on the The View, but is already having problems being a team player. The incoming talk show host, who is replacing Meredith Vieira and joining Barbara Walters, Joy ­Behar, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on the couch, laid the smack down html-style on her “r” blog last week. In one of her signature confounding haikus, she writes:

“i saw the new view promos / and found myself in the ­position / i loathe most / powerless / it will be hard 4 me /2 not b / the boss / it is already / and we have only just ­begun.”

How long do you think till she’s pushing back the furniture and hiding behind sofa cushion forts while launching full water glasses at Elisabeth’s head?

Update: Just when we thought The View producers were going to have to put tape down the center of the couch to keep peace on the show, Rosie posts the following conciliatory message on her site:

i am excited about the view
like a new kid on the first day of school
hoping they all like me
that i fit in
cuz there is nothing better
then being a cast member

Looks like someone got a call from ABC.
