Spitzer Ready to Go Solo at CNN
Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is getting antsy to host his own show. According to the New York Post, he is ready to steamroll co-host Kathleen Parker.
Eliot Spitzer is telling friends his CNN co-host Kathleen Parker “will be gone within a week.” Relations between the ex-gov, who once called himself a “[bleep]ing steamroller,” and his conservative co-host are at an all-time low. A source said, “Spitzer thinks she’s holding him back. The ratings surged when she was out sick, and he anchored alone during the turmoil in Egypt. Only very few anchors have the power to wipe out a co-host, and Spitzer thinks he has it. CNN bosses are high on Spitzer, and he might get his own show. Kathleen has been weighing her options. There’s this sense of dread among middle management.” We’ve reported that Parker, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, could be dumped due to lack of chemistry with Spitzer. But our source said, “She’s putting up a fight.” CNN executive VP Ken Jautz recently said, “There have been lots of press reports that I am contemplating changes, but I’m not going to engage in any speculation.” A CNN rep declined to comment.
If CNN does dump Parker, it would only confirm my belief that this was the network’s plan all along. Parker was really just a cover to deflect criticism for hiring the disgraced former governor. Viewers seem to prefer one point of view in their evening news programs whether that be right, left or center and Parker Spitzer tends to be rather muddled when Parker tries to get in on the conversation. Unfortunately for her Parker turned out to be the conservative version of Alan Colmes who was consistently pummeled by Sean Hannity until he left the program. If she doesn’t want to tarnish her reputation any further she should run, not walk to the nearest exit.

Spitzer is great.
Parker should go back to writing. She is self-conscious, not quick witted , not insightful and makes one uncomfortable to watch the show. I love Spitzer though..
CNN: You need to solve this problem!!
