Rush Limbaugh's ex, Darryn Kagan, leaving CNN
Don't let the door hit ya, skank!!!

Daryn Kagan is leaving her post as CNN morning anchor. I'm waiting till you steady yourselves from the blow. But wait, there's more. Ms. Kagan, a one-time squeeze of radio's Mr. Limbaugh, isn't leaving CNN to jump to another network at a hefty whatever in salary. Instead, she's starting up her own website, supposedly without backers, to create a "community"--wish we had one of those in our neighborhood--that would share inspiring stories. Here's what she's discovered during her TWELVE years as a CNN anchor:

I think there is a void in the straight news business now, (which is) lacking a certain spirituality," Kagan told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I think most people live in a space where they are looking for meaning in life and good in the world and that is not necessarily reflected in straight news coverage right now."

Oh, for the good old days, when William Randolph Hearst's papers, teeming with spirituality, helped people find meaning in life and good in the world. Right now? Daryn, that's never been the purpose of the news media. Did they trick you at Career Day? Did Ted Turner hypnotize you? Did it really take you twelve years to discover the sad truth about the news media? Please share the inspiring story of your moment of discovery on your website soonest. Thanks.

6. LOL, I guess a "Praise Jesus" is in order here given her "new"
focus. One less bushbot on CNN but, never fear, they will replace her with someone equally as disgusting if not someone even worse, someone like Coulter.

7. I don't think I need to be told the meaning of life, or whatever
insights her new website will offer women, from a woman who slept with Rush Limbaugh for a couple of years. :puke:

Thanks, anyway.

10. I think the mental image of Daryn servicing Rush was too much for CNN's
new "Christian" platform.

15. If I'd just spent a couple months dating Rush Limbaugh, I'd be desperate
to find some meaning in my life, too.

16. CNN's NOT straight news and haven't been in 10yrs- WE WANT STRAIGHT NEWS
and CNN does a pisspoor job of delivering it since Ted was finagled out by BushInc's cronies AOL and the House of Saud.

18. perhaps little things like this SNL skit didn't help
-snip
Daryn Kagan: You are an idiot.

Rick Sanchez: Your boyfriend is Rush Limbaugh.

Daryn Kagan: All right, that's private.

Rick Sanchez: You see Rush Limbaugh naked - and you like it.

Daryn Kagan: stop it! < a beat >

19. or,perhaps..little things like this..
Subject: Open Letter to CNN concerning Daryn Kagan

Do we have to watch Rush Limbaugh's mistress on CNN's Live Today ever again??

When a right-wing drug addict is reading his love letters from his apparently right-wing CNN mistress on the radio, that's where I depart from CNN.

Daryn's credibility?

Let's see, "This is great. This sounds like you wrote this speech. This sounds like you giving this speech."

Yep, it's GONE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"On the October 6 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh read a "note" that, he said, came from his "mistress in Georgia," an apparent reference to CNN anchor Daryn Kagan. According to Limbaugh, his "mistress" said of President Bush's October 6 speech on the war on terror, "This is great. This sounds like you wrote this speech. This sounds like you giving this speech." Limbaugh said he agreed: "And I was going, 'Rah, rah. That's exactly right.' "

20. Maybe it was the brown-skinned little boys Rush visits in the DR
that she didn't want to be around.

22. Took the CNN tour last month in Atlanta
and our tour-group was full! When we got to the portion where we could look down and watch Daryn on the air, I began to regale my daughter with facts about her "romance" with Rush, and the way she was caught IMing him while on the air. Everyone gathered around, listening and laughing. The little tour guide looked mortified. I hope she reported what a joke that woman is to the tourists.
