Is Today Erin Burnett’s Last Day On CNBC? (Update)

By Bess Levin

No one has said anything but…the standing ovation on the floor of the NYSE, the “good luck, Erin” from Jane Wells, the hints being dropped by Haines and, as one of you noticed, what appear to have been tears in EB’s eyes at the start of the program seem to suggest yes?

Update: And yes, it’s been confirmed today is the day (though Burnett will say her final good-bye Street Signs at 2PM).

Update II: Erin has gifted Haines with a pack of camel magnets, a keychain, a card she was insistent he not read on air, and Cheetos-flavored lip gloss.

Update III: Haines is crying.

Update IV: Erin is crying.

Update V: Are any of you crying? No? YOU MONSTERS!

    I want to honor her departure, but my mast is still flying at full staff while she’s on the screen. Half staff just isn’t an option.

    I think it is, Mark has had his hands below camera constantly. Looks like he is trying rub out one last biggie before Erin is off to a new set.

    ..;.and Erin Burnett is gone – never to be seen again as I doubt I will ever be able to find the stations (the CW?) where she is going.

    No one will be able to fill the hole Erin’s departure leaves. She is a genuine personality. CNN’s gain!

    There’s a “filling the hole” thing that can be done here, but I’m too lazy today. Anyone?

    This is my song for Erin: My Way (picked lyrics)

    And now, the end is near
    And so I face the final curtainMy friends I say it clearI’ll state my case of which I’m certainI’ve lived a life that’s fullI’ve travelled each and every highwayAnd more much more than this, I did it my way.

    ….I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
    I planned each chartered course,each careful step along the by way
    And more much more than I did it my way..

    Perhaps, we should honor her departure and Bin Laden’s with a drink !

    Two shots and a splash of water.

    I’ve rubbed off quite a few to Erin’s face in the CNBC locker room. Haines almost caught me once so I told him I was rubbing off to Quintanilla. Mark likes him too
