Or celibatory party?

As many FReepers know, FR has had the inside track on Rosie O'Donnell's impending deaprture from "The View" since we first posted an article on it last January.
Am in New York tonight and attended a "celabratory" party thrown by some of old CBS cronies to help friends at ABC celebrate Rosie's rushed retirement.
(We had to host them to a party at a CBS watering hole so the ABC types would not be seen celebrating too hearily at their usual hangouts.)
Here is the inside scoop from the ABCers:
Rosie was a marked woman (?) ever since she got into a public pissing contest with Barbara Walters. It was not the first they had fought, but last January, it finally broke into the MSM gossip columns.
Unfortunately, there was no way BW could dump her without paying huge contractual penalties and risk offending the oh-so-important Gay community.
But BW is a very tough woman. She made it to the top "cleanly" when the only way other women did that was either sleeping with the Suits or in one case, sleeping with a sitting (or in this case, reclining) President. (No it was not Slick or his ethical Godfather, JFK.)
BW plays for keeps, and a few days ago when Rosie was particualrly vulgar, F-bomb and all in front of 2000 distinguished women (and, fortunately for BW, 17 teen age girls) (see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1822558/posts?page=47#47), it gave BW the ammunition she needed.
In the wake of Imus, that kind of thing does not cut in front of kids, and BW knew she had the leverage she wanted. Someone, we will never know, (yeah, sure) called a high ranking official in New York law enforement and "encouraged" them to "inquire about" possible "contributing to the delinguency of a minor" charges.
Since there was a morals clause in her "View" contract, Rosie's "people" knew she was f-ed. (which, if you think about that visually, it's not a pretty sight.)
The Suits made Rosie's people an offer they couldn't refuse: Go quietly, or law enforcement might step in and you will go very painfully.
Rosie knew that would kill her career. ABCers love that she will be going because as they said, the only thing they have had a "View" of recently is her fat horizon-to-horizon arse.
In the words of one very senior ABC on-air talent. "Was Rosie pushed or did she jump? She will be spending the next 3 months trying to wash Barbara Walters' palmprints off her fat backside."
I hear she tick off ABC stockholders too with her vulgar comments and they didn’t like that she took on the Donald
Just throw a half eaten Krispy Kreme over the edge and Pig-o-rama is gone.
Wow, this is some hot stuff, man. Great job. Has anyone else been reporting the same type of story?
Ah! A redux of what happened to Paula Poundstone.
The hog tied by a morals clause.
Schadenfreude.
Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!
LOL !!
Okay, but I’ve got to know just one thing:
Did she go bounce or splat?
ROTFLOL! Cheers and good riddance to bad rubbish. Do ya think that cBS would really replace Katie (one foot in the unemployment line)Colic, with the Queen of Flatulence?
Hey, a little respect here.
I had to buy 4 ABCers two rounds (thank God they drink the cheap stuff) of Scotch go get some of this!!!
:~)
Just kidding about the respect part....
No coincidence, to be sure, but Barbara's birthday was yesterday, the 24th, they even reminded 'us' this morning on the View. Oh, that's right, I watched. I didn't want to miss Rosie announcing her leaving. I guess Barbara got what she wanted. Hmmmm.... Babs - 1, Rosie - 0
I was stunned at her behavior in front of those girls, but her tirade against Rupert Murdock sealed her fate. The homocow deserves what happens to her. I wish they would file charges against her and put her fat @ss in jail.
Or celibatory party?
More like a 'plop'... you know, the toilet sound.
According to Newton, pushing something that big and getting it in motion would take a lot of energy. Like a boulder tumbling down a mountain or something.
A question like that....

s-o-oree!
Johnson!
I can't believe she had a "morals clause" in her contract. How hilarious is that?
Thanks again!
