Rosie Leaving The View

Shucks.

Rosie O’Donnell’s stormy tenure on “The View” will be a short one. The opinionated host was unable to agree on a contract with ABC, and she’ll leave the show in June.

“My needs for the future just didn’t dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me,” O’Donnell said in a statement Wednesday.

Of course, Barbara Walters wanted Rosie back.

“I induced Rosie to come back to television on ‘The View’ even for just one year,” Walters said. “She has given the program new vigor, new excitement and wonderful hours of television. I can only be grateful to her for this year.”

Can I possibly dream that I might not have to read weekly stories of the most recent idiotic thing that Rosie said?  Nah…
