This is how crappy it is to work for CNN...
Kathleen Parker, the Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist who co-hosted CNN's 8 p.m. show, is leaving just five months after the show debuted, the company announced Friday. "I have decided to return to a schedule that will allow me to focus more on my syndicated newspaper column and other writings," Parker said in a statement. More here
This is like James Carville canceling an appointment so he can go get a haircut. I'm sure it wasn't a very pleasant experience working with a man like Eliot Spitzer, who probably was offended being in the presence of a woman who was getting paid spend an hour with him without sex being part of the deal. My only experience with the show was highlighted in this post from last November, when Rand Paul made Spitzer his Client Number 9 while Parker was probably too busy avoiding the reach of Spitzer under the table to concentrate on having an actual thought to contribute to the show. So I don't blame her for wanting to leave the last place network in cable news to refocus her work on that 21st century dinosaur we call NEWSPAPERS. After all, she's got to go where the audience is. It does beg the question: What would you rather do than work for CNN?
Parker had a TV show? Who knew???
I assume they fired her. Why would someone quit a high-paying job now?
From a few crew people from CNN I ran into here and there, CNN wasn’t a great place to work at all. Others I ran into were rude and showed no respect for equipment esp. on other people’s premises.
Has anyone told their viewer yet that she’s leaving the show?
I have decided to return to a schedule that will allow me to focus more on my syndicated newspaper column and other writings,”
especially now that CNN will not be paying me anymore.
There, I finished Ms Parker’s sentence.
No offense to her but this was Karma for attacking/degrading Palin in her columns.
Probably wanted to spend more time with family.....
Going to a childhood game I have to say: The thing I would rather do than work for CNN is - Slide naked down a huge razor blade into a pool of alcohol. There CNN sucks, I obviously would give never them the time of day.
Why should the Tea Party compromise on individual liberty and freedom?

Hang out at FR all day long with a coupla glasses of ice coffee and a good cigar.
I;m almost positive my husband did
I’d rather disembowel myself with a rusty nail.
1.)Change a screaming babies diaper.
2.)Drop a bowling ball on my foot.
I guess Parker couldn’t swallow being with Spitzer.
Oh, c’mon. Working on camera at CNN isn’t a bad gig. Just come out and say the most mindless uber-leftist crap that comes into your head and you’ll get promotions and a long career there. And even if you happen to happen to screw up, say something sensible and get fired, there’s always MSNBC. Or PBS. Or Current. Or CBS. Or ABC. Or Time. Or Newsweek.
Parker’s leaving? Who will be the liberal replacement? I heard it was a good show but the time slot was just too much for it. Reruns of Johnny Quest and Gilligan’s Island were just killing it.
I have seen the people who worked for cnn in an eye doctors waiting room.They were one homely couple and thought that fox sucked.I told them that it would be a good idea if they never have children in front of twenty other people and the place cracked up.Man they were homely and stupid.
LOL! I wish I had the guts to say things like that to annoying libs.
I’d be Mike Rowe’s stunt double before I’d work at CNN.
