First Don Imus, now Rosie O'Donnell.
The yenta the right wing loved to hate said today that she's leaving ABC's The View in June. O'Donnell insists that she's left on her own accord because she wasn't able to reach a contract agreement with the Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) network. In an unsuccessful effort to counter the tabloid gossip to the contrary, the show's Queen Bee Barbara Walters insisted that she had nothing to do with O'Donnell's departure.
On her blog, the comic turned conspiracy theorist summed up her situation in verse. Seriously, Rose is -- among other things -- a poet. Here is a sample that I think speaks to her situation.

Will Rosie get a chance to again spout her ill-informed conspiracy theories on the nation's airwaves? You betcha. As I've argued before left wing wacko personalities such as O'Donnell have as much of a right to spout nonsense as the Bill O'Reillys and Rush Limbaughs of the world.
