After last week's debacle over at The View, one's interest in and tolerance of highly paid bitches should be waning — but not so over at CNN, where Reliable Sources took a vacation from relevance and thus focused on Star Jones' departure from the ABC henhouse. In an effort to keep the show close to its more serious, typical beat, New York Post television critic Linda Stasi embraces the power of simile:

Nobody has been honest about this whole thing. And this business about girlfriends...the stuff became like Fallujah after awhile, especially after she started taking all that swag for her wedding.

That's not a misquote: The View was just like Fallujah. Insurgent Star Jones even burned and mutilated four independent hair and makeup contractors.
