ROSIE SHOW GETS A NO GO

Rosie O’Donnell announced on her blog yesterday that talks for her reported MSNBC deal are over.
In her trademark cryptic haiku style, the controversial talkstress wrote:
we were close to a deal
almost done
i let it slip in miami
causing panic on the studio end2day there is no deal
poof
my career as a pundit is over
b4 it beganand on we go
And don’t think for a second that it was because Ro mentioned the negotiations last week in public that MSNBC scotched the deal. In the end, it was about money.
The network couldn’t afford to make a deal for Rosie just based on a nighttime show. It would have to have been tied into something else on daytime. The problem with that? Rosie doesn’t want to return to a grueling daytime schedule while her kids are in school.
