Our favorite RINO is officially out at the network you last watched while waiting for your flight. Now we’re left with Client Number 9 hosting that awful, awful show himself. Heartache.

Here’s the official statement from Parker, confirming her departure:

After bringing viewers a new 8pm show on CNN, I have decided to return to a schedule that will allow me to focus more on my syndicated newspaper column and other writings. While I am extremely proud of the show we created, and the subject matter and level of discourse Parker Spitzer promoted every night, it was a difficult decision to scale back my column a few months ago and, with the show going in a new direction, it is a good time to move on. I want to thank the viewers who have been so kind with their comments and support. I will continue to appear to contribute and analyze occasionally on CNN and look forward to continuing my relationship with CNN and the many talented individuals I have worked with here.

Actually, CNN has announced that it’s changing the program altogether:

We will be adopting an ensemble format with several newsmakers, guests and contributors joining Eliot Spitzer each night. The new program will be called, “In the Arena,” beginning Monday. E.D. Hill and Will Cain will join the program as well others within and outside the CNN family.

In other words, a roundtable of rotating liberals and RINOs who will insist Obama isn’t getting enough credit, Sarah Palin is still an idiot, and conservatives are being uncivil by opposing The One’s agenda. Meanwhile, CNN’s ratings will remain mediocre at best, its 8pm timeslot competing with Fox’s Red Eye at 3am. I can’t wait.
