Rosie has uploaded a snippet of the video of her interview with Jesse. I can't embed it here because it's not on the permitted website list for DailyKos, but it's well worth the click over to Oprah.com to watch Rosie and Jesse.
SCREEN GRAB:
At the end of the interview, Rosie called Jesse a "cutie patootie" and said if she was younger, and straight, she's ask him out. Here's Jesse's first reaction:
Our very own Jesse LaGreca (Ministry of Truth) is also on Ed Schultz tonight at 8pm. Ed just announced it as "Daily Kos blogger Jesse LaGreca is here" and showed a snippet of his notorious Fox News Youtube smackdown.
Rosie went down to Occupy Wall Street (here's a link to watch the video; embedding not permitted) and is very supportive of the movement. She's showing footage from her visit to Zucotti Park and talking about Occupy Wall Street. The show airs at 7pm EST, and again at 11pm EST tonight.
About This Episode

Rosie tours the camp and meets some influential demonstrators with unique stories, like Jesse LaGreca, whom she invited to be on The Rosie Show.

In related news...this photo really blew me away today. Wow, huh?
Randy Rasmussen/The Oregonian
A police officer deployed pepper spray at Southwest Yamhill Street, between the JP Morgan Chase bank and Pioneer Courthouse Square. The photo was taken from the southeast corner of the square, looking toward the intersection of 6th and Yamhill after a day of marching through downtown Portland, Ore., by Occupy Portland participants. People gathered on the east side of the Steel bridge earlier in the morning to demonstrate in support of the Occupy movement, on the day known as N17. Several people were arrested and the march continued over the lower span of the bridge into downtown, where a rally was planned. Later in the day people were arrested in a Wells Fargo branch downtown.
More about the photo from the LA times:
The dramatic photo of a young woman getting a blast of pepper spray on her face during a mostly peaceful Occupy protest in Portland is destined to become an enduring image of the national movement.
The youthful protester vomited almost immediately after the Thursday incident and medics were able to wash out her eyes and nose so that she was not much the worse for it, Occupy Portland spokesman Reid Parham told The Times.
"She's OK," he said.
