After months of turbulence at CNN’s Parker Spitzer, the network will drop co-host Kathleen Parker from the show, according to sources and a memo released to CNN staff. Eliot Spitzer will continue with the show.

According to CNN chief Ken Jautz, the new show will be solo-anchored by Spitzer and an “ensemble format” of contributors and be called In the Arena. The new show debuts Monday. Here’s the memo:

I want to share with you some news today regarding our 8pm show. Kathleen Parker has decided to leave the program to focus on her writing, and we have decided to take the show in a new direction. We will be adopting an ensemble format with several newsmakers, guests and contributors joining Eliot Spitzer each night. The new program will be called, “In the Arena,” beginning Monday. E.D. Hill and Will Cain will join the program as well others within and outside the CNN family.

Her 5 fans(Yes I am being gracious) are going to be devastated. Perhaps a candlelight vigil in the works

She’s a fake Republican, made to give the impression of balance on that show. She is kinda purty, though.

When they get rid of the rest of the racist, Islamaphobe, Anti America, Anti Marriage, Obama slobbering, partisan, elitists...I may watch. But I doubt it. Trust has to be earned, and they lost mine, long ago.

They could just put a cardboard cutout of her on the seat next to that disgusting motor mouth Spitzer and no one would have been the wiser.

I saw a post here where a FReeper predicted this months ago. FReepers are always ahead of the curve.

Spitzer dominated that show. She welcomed guests and then said good bye. Bless her heart she couldnt put together an argument to save her life.

But, but, who will be the female replacement in charge of slamming Sarah Palin? It was a Parker specialty from the phony conservative.
