IS ROSIE QUITTING TODAY?

Rosie O'Donnell is rumored to announce today on "the View" that she is quitting the show, although no reason has been given and she is expected to remain for the rest of this season.  TMZ says:

TMZ has spoken with multiple industry people who say the word is spreading and the info emanated from inside the show itself.  Rosie's rep could not be reached for comment.

At first I was sad because her dumb ass was gonna stay on the air for another few months, but then it hit me:  poison … cookies.  We don’t have to kill her, just drug her enough so she slips into an endless coma.  Its basically the same thing as killing her, but at trial we could make it sound real sciencey and the jury will get confused enough to let us go.  Ta-da! 

UPDATE – TMZ says they have confirmed the story and Rosie will announce today that she is leaving the show.  Why?  Too many stairs.
