Rosie takes an early bow

ABC has announced that Rosie O'Donnell will not be returning to The View to finish out the season. She had three weeks left on her contract, but she asked for, and was granted, an early exit.

I dunno, Ro: It was only a few more weeks. Now it's all just really, really awkward.

What do you think? A graceless exit, or knowing when to fold 'em? And will you ever watch The View again?
