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."

[Tiger Smack]

Wooo Hooooo!

[Tiger Smack]

Maybe the pressure of being DEAD LAST in the ratings got to her? HA!

[SortaBichy]

tata dah-ling

you'll be missed
(((((NOT!)))))

[RedBloodedAmerican]

...to anchor CBS

[UB355]

Watching her face scrunch up like she was sucking on lemons was a highlight of the 2004 election.

[big'ol_freeper]

Don't let the door hit ya in the a$$ on the way out!

[kingattax]

P.S. The fact that my ratings were LOWER than Weather Channel reruns had nothing to do with this decision.

[Bertha Fanation]

GR2BR!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Buh-bye, Judy.

[Balding_Eagle]

Oh man! first Rather, then Brokaw, Then Jennings, now Woodruff.

Where, oh where am I going to get my news and analysis?

[Mo1]

FYI Ping

is this for real?

[bigsigh]

but, who's going to cry whenever a Clinton gets in trouble?

[SMARTY]

She does have a 'wooden' face. She's the main reason that I quit watching the news on PBS. That was a looonnnggg time ago.

[add925]

Set 'em up....knock 'em down.....

[SamAdams76]

Judy who? And what's this "CNN" I keep hearing about? What does that stand for?

[Burlem]

Don't fret Tiger, Miss Judy will be anchor on one of the three aforementioned Tv stations. :)

[Hawk44]

Her ratings were going down faster than her pants. That is fast for a liberal.

[ken5050]

She's been "off" Inside Politics this week..I believe..so, was she pushed..? Crossfire dies soon also...yippee..no more Snake and Forehead show..

[add925]

Watching her face scrunch up like she was sucking on lemons was a highlight of the 2004 election.

Just image what it would have looked like had it not been for the botox!

[Dane]

but, who's going to cry whenever a Clinton gets in trouble?

Soledad o'brien and katie couric.

[Saundra Duffy]

Her husband is a major democrat stooge.

[The_Victor]

Buh'buy! Don't bother to write.

[pookie18]

Err America beckons...

[bigsigh]

Thanx, I've been worried about that important issue since Bernie Shaw retired.

[ElPatriota]

The darling of the left! - back to NPR?

[Sprite518]

You know she was pushed out. I am sure CBS will hire her.

[aliquando]

Need to lose the "LSU" banner. Some of us just ate lunch.
WDE!!

[ErnBatavia]

I'll miss her....of course, I'm a necrophiliac and find her attractive.

[TheForceOfOne]

The smart ones got off the Titanic and into the lifeboats first. :P

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Woodruff: "I think I'll write a personal goodbye to all my listeners who now join be in this auditorium."

[ken5050]

You've heard about the success of Kirstie Alley's new show, "Fat Actress?"..well, the new CNN boss, wants to emulate it, so he's giving the gig to Candy Crowley..

[Semper Paratus]

First thing Judy should do is get a good cheeseburger and a real man, not necessarily in that order.

[bert]

I'm almost as glad as I was when she left Mcneil Lerher.
I can't believe that's been 12 years.

[RexBeach]

Well, I'll give her this, she's a good mom.

Journalist? Next!

[OldFriend]

Good riddance.

[CyberAnt]

Yes .. it's good .. but her replacement could be worse.

[JamesWilson]

I initially mis-read the headline. I thought it read:

LEAVE: CNN FLASHES JUDY WOODRUFF

[DarthVader]

Good Riddance! Prunella Prune Face.

[MudSlide]

When someone finds out where Judy is going please post it so I can quit watching that channel too!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

"I now predict Kerry as winner, even with 0% of the vote cast."

[uncitizen]

first Rather, then Brokaw, Then Jennings, now Woodruff.

Who's going down next?!

[RexBeach]

Hey, I knew Candy Crowley when she was thin. That was a LONG, LONG time ago. Like the rest of America, I am sure it's her thyroid.

[skeeter]

I heard Woodruff is also leaving her husband Al Hunt for a new beau.

[MudSlide]

Good Riddance! Prunella Prune Face.

Aka - Dried Up Old Hide

[RushCrush]

I swear to God.

I'm not saying this to be funny.

I don't know who she is.

[Diver Dave]

Maybe the pressure of being DEAD LAST in the ratings got to her? HA!

Guess I'll step up to the plate and take the blame for those poor ratings.

Anyone else care to join me?

[MudSlide]

You never missed a damn thing!

[hattend]

Don't celebrate too soon, she could show up on Fox News.

[ducking and running]

[Hatteras]

"Her husband is a major democrat stooge."

Al Hunt

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Woodruff: "Here's my best imitation of my hero, Hillary Clinton. Please note I'm bugged because I'm having lunch with Kennedy's cousin and we know he's been turned. They think it's Hillary on that tape? Ha ha ha. I'm testifying it's me."
