FLASH: JUDY WOODRUFF LEAVES CNN This message was just sent on CNN's internal messaging system: "To my colleagues and friends at CNN: I've decided to leave daily journalism after 30 years, 12 of them at this network. I've had challenging and exciting opportunities, been supported by an amazing and talented group of people, and made lifelong friends. I wish them the very best. I'm discussing several long-form projects in television. I'll also teach, do some writing and be an occasional consultant and contributor to CNN. To all of you at CNN who have been so wonderful to me, I can't begin to thank you adequately. But thank you. We will stay in touch and we'll always have memories of good journalism, good times and a few laughs together."

Bingo!

"Part of the Clinton legacy is . . . ME! So I'm going to go on exhibit at the Clinton Library."

Who's going down next?!

Katie Couric?

oh please... oh please... oh please...

I'll never forget the day the house voted on the articles of impeachment and then the dems all went over to the white house for the rally/pity party. I thought of mailing kleenex to CNN, but didn't think they would get it.

Judy, probably went through three trees of Kleenex watching al gore give his support speech, that day in 98.

Who's going down next?!

No way to read the political tides without the Judy Woodruff Neck Vein Bulge-O-Meter.

Grim.

[uncitizen]

LOL! Did she really cry on TV?

[Burlem]

I am listening to an interview with Laura Ingraham's substitute and Zell Miller, the substitute was trying to encourage Miller to run for pres, in 08, he later said it would be a hoot to have a debate between Miller and Hillary.....I would love to hear Miss Judy's analysis on that one.

[Miss Marple]

Now this is odd. We didn't hear one thing about her negotiating for her contract, as is usually done, nor did we hear any speculation that she was either going to retire or had been offered another position.

Hmmmm. OK...I will make a wishful guess.

Perhaps Judy is on one of the tapes that the Kennedy brother-in-law made while working as a snitch for the FBI.

Well, I can dream, can't I?

[Pompah]

LOL, Make that An Extremly Horny Necrophiliac.

[b4its2late]

Who's she? And I guess you really don't have to answer me, since I don't watch CNN and I don't care to. Thanks anyway....

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Bubba: "Petah, you newscasters have such annoying habits. Ever notice how Judy Woodruff smacks her lips just before she speaks? Drives me nuts. And you really ought to stop smoking."

[Grampa Dave]

She can get a job at a medical school as a whining, snarling and non smiling cadaver.

[fish hawk]

Judy said to herself: If I am going to be dead last on CNN, I might as well do something on my own and be dead last for myself.

[hattend]

That would work for me, too.

[Hatteras]

Of course, the marriage did cause a little problem because of Mark Shields' jealous streak. But he got over it and he and Judy are friends again since Judy promised to share Al.

[Guillermo]

She wants to spend more time with her boyfriend, Rush.

[CheneyChick]

Anyone else care to join me?

Right next to ya, DD.

Cheers, CC :)

[Pukin Dog]

Yeah, but the face-lifts are staying. They will do the broadcast on their own.
