ABC made the announcement earlier today. From ABC News:
The saga is over.
Rosie O'Donnell will not be returning to "The View."In a statement today, Brian Frons, the president of Disney-ABC's Daytime Television Group, said, "We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to 'The View' and wish her well."
I guess Elisabeth Hasselbeck's finally standing up to Rosie and telling her to stick it was just too much for her.

Brian, sorry about your girlfriends loss of job. She will bounce back. Bad pennies always return. What should be observed here is people like Brian defend someone like a fat ugly lying bitch like Rosie O'Donnell. It speaks to the quality of people on the left.

Brian, get your facts straight. Rosie was supposed to continue working on The View until June 20th. The announcement that she's taking an early leave was just announced today.

How's your chin Brian?
Once again in your haste to slam someone you fail to actually read (or comprehend) what was contained in your own link.
If I were your chin I'd sue for constant "knee-jerk abuse."
And lets all recall The Views most infamous Carpet Muncher's words to a co-host she claims is an "old friend" - You're a coward!"
Yet after someone finally stomps a mud hole is her lardass and a Rosie writer was busted defacing pictures of Elisabeth Hasselbeck in the The View's studio she runs for the door weeks before her contract expires.
A real class act.

Oh , that's right . The best thing about being a democrat lying fraud is that you never have to say your sorry for being a lousy lying POS , no matter how many times they are proven liars.

So, Brian, are you saying you never agreed with, defended or sided with Rosie on this blog? You voice the same opinions, shame on me for thinking you react the same way she does. I said react, because history shows neither of you spend much time using whatever intellect, no matter how little you have, in persuit of truth.

Boo Freakin Hoo. I have never watched more than 5 minutes of the view since it's been on. Actually other than the local news I watch no antique MSM outlets nor read their daily rags. Say what you want but i'm not alone. Seems that people like Brian and No Go can't buy enough to keep them in business. They're falling fast.
Just go to FOX and get the truth about the good parts and skip the left wing hype. Even Greta, Colmes and the sheep dog Smith are liberals with an empty brain and I don't watch them either. They do make me change channels a lot.
Rosie is just more comedy as a result of the last election. Rosie took the trip from BDS (now a certified mental illness) to complete insanity, but it was a short trip for her. If you have conservative children of college age get them in the mental health field now. They will have an unending supply of democrat crazies for the next 50 years. Billions of dollars to be made for doing, nothing since there is no help for them. Use the standard answer, yep, you have problems, $500 please. All they have to worry about is a liberal going 'Cho' on them.

Absolutely. Feel free to comb through all of Kim's Greatest Rosie Hits, and see all the times I ridiculed Kim for even bothering to give her any air time. Then you can come back here and apologize to me. Apparently, I'm told, that will involve your chin in some way that's unclear to me.

Syllabucks, they used to have it. I think it just got overipe. There is a season and so on. The humour and the intellectual creativity have clearly swung to the right side of the politcal spectrum. Enjoy it for the duration. bD is practically the only humourous one I've run across, and he claims to be righty when in fact they ain't no hole for that bird. mantis is very funny, but especially so when it is ironic and unconscious, like when he thinks he can make a point sophistically. Those moments are revealing, m.
