Trump/O'Donnell: It's War

It certainly didn't take long for the cheery little flame war between Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump to reach Defcon 1. Trump compared Rosie to the folks who started the war with Iraq, which isn't all that smart because

a) she made fun of his hair, for God's sake; she hasn't actually had anyone killed (Not that you know of, The Donald would conspiratorially reply), and

b) she's been pretty outspoken re: her disapproval of the war.

In response, Rosie purchased a Soviet-era ground-to-air shoulder-mounted missile launcher on the black market and blew a hole in Trump Tower.

Trump's complaining that Rosie lied about his going bankrupt and, well, technically, perhaps it was his casino corporation that filed for bankruptcy, not him personally, but that's parsing the facts in a way that not a whole lot of people are going to be able to appreciate.

The sad news is that the two picked the wrong time of year to start such a hyperbolically entertaining slapfest. By the time anyone's ready to pay attention to the outside world again - that is, in, say, 10 days - O'Donnell v. Trump will have lost its momentum. One or the other might attempt, wanly, to resuscitate it with another dumb comment - perhaps the first dumb comment of 2007! - but at that point the only sane response will be, aren't they over that yet?
