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?
I’d rather bikini wax a wolverine.
Its easy,I’m a hard case.
What would I rather do than work for CNN?
Run naked through my bank.
Have two root canals in the same day.
5.56mm
Or as they say in Arizona, get undressed, totally naked, and run full speed head-on into a Saguaro.
Cheers!
Good point. She surely got paid a lot more by a CNN prime time show than a twice-weekly dead-tree column. Why would she want to leave behind a prestigious television spot and all that money?
Even if she didn’t like Spitzer personally, she could still grit her teeth, clutch her fat paycheck, and and hope things get better.
Obviously she was fired. The camera doesn’t lie. She was revealed, in full-color HD, as a squishy, giggly RINO.
I’d rather walk across hot rocks.
I would rather be flirted with by an old man in cycling shorts and dark socks.
How about looking for a golfball in the cholla patch?
