Rosie FINALLY Axed; Calls it "Quits", claims she'll be a "Regular Guest Host"

Included is the Donald Trump audio/video from Fox News this morning. Apparently the Feud's still going, but Rosie "Ching-Chong" O'Donnell's lost her platform and had the rug pulled from under her.

That doesn't stop the "Trumpster" from going after her and getting in his last few wisecracks. Actually, he takes credit and pride in the fact that he just MIGHT be responsible, or at least involved, in ABC's decision to fire her. In her remarks at the Waldorf-Historia the other night in a gathering of journalists & newsmakers, she took the opportunity to cheap-shot Rupert Murdoch, owner of FoxNews (and other conglomerate businesses), as well as many others; but none was quite as shocking or writhing as watching her disgustingly grab her crotch before the crowd (and about 17 students who won an award who were invited and attending the ceremony) as she told 'The Donald', "Eat me".

Rosie O’Donnell’s stormy tenure on “The View” has been a short one. ABC said Wednesday it was unable to agree on a contract with the opinionated host, and she’ll leave the show in June.

O’Donnell said in a statement that “my needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me.”

Update: ABC is reporting it now, too. Via Matt Sheffield of Newsbusters:

The president of daytime programming for the Disney-ABC Television Group, Brian Frons, told ABCNEWS.com, “Going in we knew we would have an amazing year with her, and that anything beyond that would be gravy. But we were willing to take the chance because we understood what a coup it was to entice Ro back to daytime television. So here we are a year later, and while we’ve tried to come to terms on a deal that would extend her co-hosting duties on ‘The View,’ we find ourselves unable to agree on some key elements.”…

O’Donnell said: “This has been an amazing experience, and one I wouldn’t have traded for the world. Working with Barbara, Joy and Elisabeth has been one of the highlights of my career, but my needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me. To all the viewers out there, I just want to say ‘thank you’ for opening up your hearts and your homes to me this past year. But you can always find me at rosie.com. Here’s hoping there’s more confetti for all of us going forward."


Not like she didn't have it coming... good riddance.
