Maybe some outfit with a twisted worldview like that of Pox Noise will offer her a haven at some point. I can't think of anywhere else where her brand would be welcome at this point. Her career is in the deep freeze, at least for awhile. If she had left it at the initial apology tweet and not followed it up with lame comments and trying to blame Ambien, it might have helped a little. But I saw quite a difference between the apology tweet and her later comments. The first almost seemed like someone else had written it for her, compared to subsequent samples.

Somebody on the air pointed out yesterday that Mel Gibson came back. And people can have short memories.

But if it talks like a duck, and tweets like a duck, issues targeted put-downs like a duck, and otherwise behaves like a duck - it's probably a duck.
