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."

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."

[ozzymandus]

Don't try to come crawling back, OK?

[MudSlide]

They deserve each other!

[Dad yer funny]

yeah ,...she'll be somewhere "high profile" in time for the MID TERM ELECTIONS ,...I'll have the Ralph Kramden audio cued [ya know ,"ah HAAahh"]

[Dane]

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

No problem, CNN and NBC(MSNBC) will always keep some die hard blue dressers on the payroll, IMO.

[hispanarepublicana]

I'll also teach

I have an advance copy of her classes that she'll be teaching:

Rooting for the Left 101
How to Report that a Republican Has Won Office While Keeping Your Lunch Down
Using "Mr." for a G.O.P. President and "President" for a Liberal

[scott says]

"...we'll always have memories of good journalism...."

[Pompah]

And Another One Bites The Dust.

[bigsigh]

I'll never forget the day the house voted on the articles of impeachment and then the dems all went over to the white house for the rally/pity party. I thought of mailing kleenex to CNN, but didn't think they would get it.

[Tacis]

My bet is her pimp got her a long time gig is some studio where they make bestiality flics. The money won't be as good but at least it gives her professional integrity and personsonal self-esteem a big lift.

[uncitizen]

we'll always have memories of good journalism..

I might not be old enough to have those memories, but Judy probably is.
