Every Rosie Has Its Thorn

Just when you thought you'd have to shoot your television, Rosie O'Donnell announces she'll be a no-show at MSNBC.

ee odonnell puts it thus,

msnbc

following keith olbermann

we were close to a deal
almost done
i let it slip in miami
causing panic on the studio end

well
what can u do

2day there is no deal

b4 it began

just as well
i figure
everything happens for a reason
bashert - as we say
and on we go
r blog -- the show that never was
