Rosie to "View": I'm Outta Here!

Rosie's View bubble burst. Meaning she's just not renewing her contract and leaving the show full-time in June. How will Elisabeth cope? Oh, the drama...

Rosie O'Donnell's leaving The View. Or as Rosie just put it on the show, "I'm not going away... I'm just not going to be here everyday." (Watch a video clip here.) Basically, it seemed that her agents and the folks at ABC couldn't agree on a contract for another year so... Rosie did say that she'll return as a guest host and she'll do hour-long segments for ABC about autism and depression and other topics she likes. But as of the end of June she won't show up to "do the everyday thing," as she put it.

Barbara Walters joked on the show that maybe Dick Cheney was the one negotiating on ABC's behalf for Rosie's contract; but she also expressed her sadness and said she wished Ro could stay. And Joy and Elisabeth chimed in, too. And as much as Rosie and Ms. Hasselbeck have sparred over political issues this past year, I think the two actually do like each other, in a sort of big sister/kid sister way.

And yes, there are already delusional, ranty, self-aggrandizing comments from Herr Trump taking credit for all of this. But I will miss Rosie on the show. I liked that she was a big loud, out, lefty presence. Sure, she's usually less than eloquent and often daffy and a blow-hard and knee-jerky in her take on things, but she kept the show, er... interesting. Maybe Rosie will post some haikiu-tastic message on her blog about all of this later today.

And surprisingly, Rosie's announcement on the show didn't go anything like this clip below... It was more low-key. More's the pity.

The confabulation of the Scottish up produce begins in the self-sufficient Perthshire ambit of Scotland in 1961. William Ross, a escort, happened to warning an queer sterile Caucasian cat with unashamed-folded ears on a neighbor’s farm. He and his woman, Mary, were intrigued and were told that the mom had regular ears and the sire was unknown. They were promised a kitten from this cat, named Susie, if she in any case produced another with folded ears. The
