We better kill the whales, they are endangering sharks. I hear they make good lamps.

Hammerheads are really strange looking animals. They look like something not from this planet.

So, like the whole issue of her being against guns except when it's her security protecting her children, it's a case of it being wrong when someone other than her does it?
She is Oprah's prodigy after all...

Try that argument on her show... "We fish - chill people."
I'm sure that would be an acceptable answer. Hypocrite.

A long long time ago, she was an amusing stand up comedian, but she has a tendency to start raising her voice and yelling like a lady trucker when anybody expresses opposition to whatever point she's trying to make.
I think she's a fat, stupid, coont, but that's just my opinion, man.

Not really understanding the Rosie hate coming from a bunch of unsuccessful bottom dwellers. Several years ago she starred in Riding the Bus with My Sister, and quite nearly won an academy award for her portrayal of a mentally handicapped woman. I own several copies of the movie in various formats, but no matter if I watch it on VHS, DVD, or BluRay, I cannot help but get teary. I had to stop listening to the audio book on the bus ride to work because people thought I was in some constant depression. If you have an opportunity - nay, the privilege - of witnessing Ms. O'Donnell going full retard, then you simply must not pass it up.

Well, she's got a point.
Can a big sport fisherman help me out, do you use different bait for Hammerheads due to the type of feeder/head shape than you would for one of the eight sharks that are significantly more common in the same waters?

Since she did a good job pretending a few years ago, she can be as loud, vapid, hypoctitical, and behave however she wants?

I honestly didn't have much of a problem with her, until I saw this. Fishing for sharks I can kind of get on board with, but only from a catch-and-release perspective. There's absolutely NO reason to kill a shark these days, especially a hammerhead. Their populations have crashed, they don't taste very good, and you can get a fiberglass model made of your catch more easily than you can a real skin-mount, using just a photo and approximate dimensions.
Given the liberalness she displays most of the time, I honestly can't see her justification for doing something so exceptionally redneck as this. Suddenly I am very much in agreement with the oft-applied hypocrite tag.

Challenge accepted.
On a serious note, it's more because of her hypocrisy. The Tom Selleck incident on her show is a perfect example: She goes on about how gun owners should be thrown in jail, yet at the same time she hires armed guards to protect her and her family. Pure, unadulterated hypocrisy.

Well, they could do the novel approach of cutting the line if its a hammerhead. They don't have to land it and kill it.

"Perhaps there is a better bait source than an endangered animal?" tweeted another.
"Also that captain has a terrible reputation for slaughtering sharks."
So he's not very good at killing sharks? What's wrong with that?
Hammerhead sharks are considered overfished around the globe, being highly sought after to serve the ravenous demand in China for shark fin soup. Florida banned the catch of three species of hammerhead, although the ban took effect only on Jan. 1, long after O'Donnell's excursions.
Much as I dislike Rosie you really can't blame her for breaking a law that was enacted after the fact.
Yeah she's a terrible person, but not for this reason.

Umm... no. Hammerheads eat essentially the same thing any other pelagic predator eats.

Interesting since I just finished reading
Demon Fish: Travels Through the Hidden World of Sharks
(new window) where Rosie's desire to hunt sharks is specifically mentioned.
It's a great book.

Those animals are endangered and so it will be illegal to kill them soon? QUICKLY!! Lets kill some now, while they are so endangered that a law has been passed to protect them, but before I can be held legally responsible for my actions!

I should correct that... Hammerheads aren't specifically a pelagic fish.

Hypocrisy is picking animals at random to defend. Would a catfish be okay? And do these critics eat at McDonald's?
There seems to be a recent push for more animal cruelty punishments, and when i see how picky some people are it really confounds me. Animals in feed lots have a miserable existence their entire freaking lives, and yet no one but PETA seems to get that. Animals that are hunted or fished, on the other hand, at least have a good life up to the point they get murdered.
Theres lots of great reasons to criticize Rosie odonell. This ain't really one of them.

I always get a chuckle when there's activists that go after things that - if eliminated - would have such a marginal impact that it wouldn't even show up as statistically significant.
