Sigh…still more Rosie/MSBNC…
I thought the story had blown itself out. Apparently Rosie felt otherwise. The New York Post’s Ginger Adam Otis has more…
NBC wanted Rosie O’Donnell to host a talk show on its struggling cable network so badly that head honcho Jeff Zucker personally wooed her for six months, the comic said yesterday.
“We were very close to our own deal for MSNBC,” O’Donnell told the packed room at Manhattan’s Hunter College, where she was speaking at a feminist conference.
“I was asked - actually heavily courted - by Zucker to do a one-hour pundit show.”
Let us all count our blessings that the deal fell through….

I understand that the MSNBC want-ad read “3rd place cable news network seeks large-headed moron with no grasp of reality or real understanding of world events for prime-time show to feature softball interviews with left-wing idiots and random rantings that no quasi-educated man or woman in America would possibly care about.”
It didn’t take much time for them to draft the job notice, either. They had used it previously to get Olbermann, Abrams, and Matthews’ slots filled.
What a bunch of idiots.

Kiss and Tell, that is what anyone can expect, when they go into any deal with Rosie, ask Barbara Walters.
