Hell Hath No Fury...

...like a woman scorned, and we have two scorned women stories today. First, from Sacramento:
SACRAMENTO -- A high school cheerleading coach has been fired, she says because she posed for Playboy.

Carlie Beck was a cheerleading coach at Casa Roble High School in the San Juan Unified School District in northern California.

Beck was also "Cyber Girl of the Week" on Playboy online under the name Carlie Christine.

According to school district spokesman Trent Allen, Beck was hired in February to coach cheerleading, but says "she's no longer employed by the district."

Beck says she posed for Playboy before the district hired her and when asked about her modeling history, Beck says, "I was very honest about everything I participated in."

Cheer parent Susan Calhoon says the Playboy photos were brought to the school's attention by a mother whose daughter wasn't allowed to try out for the squad because of too many unexcused absences from school.

"I don't think it would have been an issue if her daughter would have been able to try out," said Calhoon.

Hell hath no fury like a frustrated wannabe cheer mom.

And in a story I really enjoy, CNN Reporter Susan Roesgen completely beclowned herself while "reporting" on the Tea Party protest in Chicago. She hectored the protesters when they refused to sign on to Obama's economic plans, declared the Tea Party was "not family viewing", and also claimed the whole thing was being run by Fox News.

Now why would our beclowned reporter have such a thing against Fox News? Because they refused to hire her...twice:
CNN's Susan Roesgen went nuts on the air Wednesday at a Chicago tea party, blaming everything (accurately) on Fox News. But maybe she was angry because Fox turned her down for a job—twice!

Roesgen got snippy with a crazy interviewee while trying to cover the tea partiers, and the crowd turned on her. "I think you get the general tenor of this," she said. "It's anti-government, anti-CNN since this is highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."

Back in 2005, though, according to a Fox News source, Roesgen really wanted to work for that right-wing conservative network. She sent a tape of her on-air work to Fox's then-programming chief Kevin Magee in January 2005, and followed up with another reel to Magee's successor Bill Shine in September 2005. Needless to say, she didn't get the gig.

Roesgen didn't respond to an e-mail request for comment, and a CNN spokeswoman said, "I don't know anything about that."
After her unhinged display in Chicago, she may be lucky to keep the CNN gig, let alone get anything else.
