Penance

The ex-future-ex-Mrs Rush Limbaugh wants people to believe she’s leaving CNN to start a blog:

Kagan, a 12-year CNN veteran who anchors two hours of news coverage from Atlanta each weekday morning, is leaving Sept. 1 to set up a Web site devoted to telling inspirational stories.

“I think there is a void in the straight news business now, (which is) lacking a certain spirituality,” Kagan told The Associated Press on Thursday. “I think most people live in a space where they are looking for meaning in life and good in the world and that is not necessarily reflected in straight news coverage right now.”

Kagan said the site is not affiliated with any religious group, although she certainly welcomes people who are religious to visit. She expects to include audio, video and print reports.

She’s not turning her back on news, Kagan said.

“It’s important to be informed but I also think it’s important to be inspired,” said Kagan, a former love interest of radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. “I’m creating a space where people can be inspired.”

She said she had no financial backer for her Web endeavor other than herself.

The site, darynkagan.com, will launch on Nov. 13, she said.

After spending time in bed with that fatuous gasbag, it’s obvious why she’d need some spiritual cleansing. But she probably should have stuck with the conventional “wants to spend more time with her family” excuse. Everyubody knows you don’t have to quit your job to be a fulltime blogger…
