Makes me think it was planned - perhaps by Elizabeth herself.

Like Bush, Elizabeth is not smart enough to plan anything.

Knowing women the way I do, one of those pussy cats went in there to draw blood. A flaming queen like Tower (

) could not have done it better!

Good riddance Rosie.

I used to think she was funny. Now I just think she's a bitch.

yeah, really. for speaking her mind?

in the words of one of my other favorite divas..."you call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind...guess it's easier to swallow if I sat and smiled"

and in my own words..."you say bitch like it's a bad thang!"

Hey, it's definitely not easy being a bitch.

I have to remember that quote (who said that, btw?). Might come in handy one of these days.

I cannot wait to see the ratings tank.

People will tune in Tuesday to watch that nitwit Elizabeth respond but after that? Bye bye viewers. Rosie will get a new show and she will be able to speak her mind, without having to deal with a moron for a cohost. Frump has been badmouthing her again, all over the news channels, calling her "a big fat loser". I am so glad The Apprentice was just canceled. He is almost as annoying as Elizabeth.

I will totally miss Jahero but they are supposedly still going to post blogs once in awhile. Yea! I love Janette and Helene is hilarious. I am bummed we won't get our last three Monday morning blogs but I am glad Rosie walked. She was miserable and deserves to be treated better.

Politically, I lean towards Rosie's side. But Elizabeth often presented fair counter-arguments that were articulated well. So I respect both of these women. I don't, however, think Rosie should have broken her contract and left early. I am a firm believer of finishing strong and bowing out gracefully. Rosie has contributed substantially to the show, but she will only be perceived as a quitter now.
