Another one bites the dust.

Tina Brown was a harlot. Literally.

[tiredoflaundry]

So sad.............not!

[AZ_Cowboy]

THANK GOD!

That show was a waste of time. I didn't like how she stabbed one of her former guests in the back on-air, either.

She only got the show because she does neat dinner parties in New York and has a British accent. That's my take.

Of course, knowing NBC, the replacement is probably going to be even more unbearable.

Tina Brown was a harlot. Literally.

"Harlot," or "harpie?"

[Trajan88]

Topic A... more like Topic a$$.

See ya Tina don't let the door knob hit ya where the sun don't shine... maybe you could hook-up again with your "friend," Hollywood lefty Harvey Weinstein.

[Clemenza]

Both. ;-)

She was the mistress/"kept woman" to several wealthy men in London.

The doyenne of liberalism was attracting a measly 4,000 viewers a week? It tells you Tina Brown's influence in this country's on the wane. The shakers and movers purportedly fear her but no one else's impressed. Indeed, the number of people willing to put up with liberal gab keeps on shrinking. They just can't win and its an indictment of the people who call President Bush, "loser!" (laughing)

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

The only people who want to listen to or look at Tina are her Manhattan dinner party friends.

[MisterRepublican]

They should have done this a year ago.

[Keith in Iowa]

I'm overwrought with indifference...

[randog]

...Tina Brown has recently secured a major book deal with Doubleday to write about the legacy of Princess Diana.

I wonder if the legacy-according-to-Tina will be, "Marry rich and dump the dupe post-spawn for the boy-toy"?

[SKI NOW]

If they filled her time slot with a blank screen would viewership rise.

[flashbunny]

If they put on a show called 'drying paint with fingernails on chalkboard soundtrack', the ratings would rise!

[DugMac]

Oooh the humanity!

[umgud]

Please please please replace her with Phil Donahue.

[Riptides]

That's gonna realy upset her viewers; all six of them.

I'm thinking that the forecast of 4,000 viewers probably has a margin of error of ± 6,500 - so it is possible she had zero viewers. After watching a few fragments of the show - I kind of had the feeling she knew there was no one out there.
