Ostensibly because of failed contract negotiations... Rosie wanting more than ABC is willing to give her. So Rosie must feel that because she brought ratings up she deserved a substantial bonus. But The View's ratings boost was obviously controversy-driven, and not based on any substance. With Rosie gone in June Joy Behar will have to carry the torch for Lunatic America, despite being not lunatic enough for 'Rage-Porn' addicts on the American left.

She's to leave the show at the end of June, but anything can happen between now and then... she could decide to take ABC's offer. It is my hope, however, that Disney, seeing that their reputation as a family-oriented company is soiled by association with the profane Rosie, is deliberately forcing her out via the artifices of contract negotiation.

Said Rosie:

"My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me,"

To Rosie O'Donnell I say, "Good riddance to your rabid opinions, and may God reveal to your soul your true 'needs for the future,' namely, Jesus Christ. Your choice of 'Lifestyle' aside, you'll have nothing beyond this earthly existence any sane person would wish for without Him.

'For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?'

--Mark 8:36
