To try to save face here are the official exec and Rosie O’Donnell statements:

"We had hoped that Rosie would be with us until the end of her contract three weeks from now, but Rosie has informed us that she would like an early leave. Therefore, we part ways, thank her for her tremendous contribution to ’The View’ and wish her well."

Barbara Walters said: "I brought Rosie to the show. Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at "The View." I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change."

For her part, Rosie said: "I’m extremely grateful. It’s been an amazing year and I love all three women."

What Barbara said the other day was that The View had its highest ratings in February when there were no feuds. Hint hint hint.

No one is denying that the CAT FIGHT between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie is the reason she left. Bullies will leave, and leave you alone, if you punch them in the nose, and that’s what happened. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is my hero! She deserves a raise. We called it.

…but first some final words from Rosie to The View…

Ever since things got heated between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell everyone is wondering, will Rosie be back on The View? After all, most bullies don’t come back when they get a taste of their own medicine. Here’s more:

One fan asks on the Web site: "Rosie! Will you be back on The View? When?"

"No idea," responds O’Donnell, who had already been planning to take Thursday off to celebrate the 40th birthday of her partner, Kelli Carpenter. O’Donnell’s contract expires next month.

The question crops up again after a fan named Sher writes: "Your hurt feelings by EH are an example of your geniuneness and why I applaud your decision to leave. The fight today was painful for anyone who cares about you. Please walk away. It’s not worth it."

Responds O’Donnell: "well u know when its time 2 go."

Asked if O’Donnell will be back on the show Monday, a spokesperson for The View tells PEOPLE, "Yes." O’Donnell’s rep was unavailable for comment.

Right after the on-air smack-down between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell on The View, Alicia Silverstone was introduced as a guest, but as she made her way onto the set she completely ignored a hug for Elisabeth, and hugged everyone else. What work has Silverstone done lately, um nothing, so the snub must have been for publicity. Rosie’s rude manners are like an infection that festers in Hollywood. Go back to oblivion Silverstone, and take Rosie with you.

The bust-up today between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Rosie O’Donnell resulted in a network executive meeting with the drama queens. Rosie just posted this note on her blog, which translated means, I quit, I’m going to Kelli’s birthday party, or I was fired. Either way, tomorrow will be a day of peace, harmony, and singing kumbaya on The View. Right?

In more interesting news, Google has launched "Google Trends." It’s really a top 100 searches that they call trends. At number 12 is igasm, and coming in at number 89 is the view may 23 2007, which is reference to the Elisabeth vs. Rosie fight. Yes, an igasm a day is far more satisfying than the view may 23 2007. Have you had your igasm today?

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is tired of Rosie O’Donnell ruling the roost, and those pregnancy hormones are kicking in, so it’s time to throw down, and the CLAWS COME OUT! Give Elisabeth a raise!
