"You all heard about the whole big MSNBC thing?" Rosie O'Donnell said in a video on her blog this afternoon. "We were in the bottom of the ninth inning. We were almost there, the game was almost over!" But after she let slip to a blogger in Miami that she was in negotiations with the network to host a one-hour show, the network "panicked" and reneged, she wrote on her blog last night:
2day there is no deal
poof
my career as a pundit is over
b4 it began
According to the Times, however, it wasn't panic that caused MSNBC to cop out, but the fact that Rosie would only commit to a one-year contract — as she had done previously on the View. "It's all right," Rosie sighed on her Webcam. "Maybe being a pundit wasn't what's best for me. You gotta believe, what happens is supposed to happen." We bet Dan Abrams, who's time slot she would have taken, believes that, too!
