Air America fires suspends Randi Rhodes

Not the same thing. At least not yet, but I doubt a grass-roots Imus-like persecution of her.

Then again, George Soros can prolly do what he wants with a simple phone call

Stephanie Miller is quite proud of the times that she's said "Whore" on Fox News and CNN.

Granted, I don't think she's said it about a political candidate yet.

/go Stephanie Miller!

Goodbye last good show on Air America.

Hillary isn't a whore!
">

Showerhungry Punt?

In other news, whores, brothel workers, and hookers everywhere expressed outrage and demanded an immediate apology for the unflattering comparison to Hillary Clinton.

I thought they went out of business a couple years ago. Shows what I know.

Was Hillary called a farking bore? What's wrong with that?

mediaho: I thought they went out of business a couple years ago. Shows what I know.

Yeah me too. I wonder if this is just publicity to get listeners back.

In other news Air America is still on. Can you really fire someone if you are not paying them in the first place?!?

Randi Rhodes is the only thing ruining Air America's potential.

I thought they were still paying them from that children's fund they stole.

Both listeners complained.......

Halfmast Trousers: Randi Rhodes is the only thing ruining Air America's potential.

Huh?

I thought she was the only one with actual radio experience when they launched, and not a comedian or general leftist rant-happy publicity hound.

She is the rock of Air America. Fact-based, professional, entertaining. The best show on talk radio. That new idiot owner must put her back immediately! What's he thinking?

I am going to have to trust Randi on this one - she is quite intimately familiar with what it takes to be a Trucking Snore.

Both listeners complained.

Heh, good one, real shaman!

I just watched the clip. Stunningly unfunny. What a nasty piece of work.

lepton68: She is the rock of Air America. Fact-based, professional, entertaining. The best show on talk radio. That new idiot owner must put her back immediately! What's he thinking?

Enh. She annoys the living hell out of me, actually. Rachel Maddow is much easier to listen to.

Personally, I miss Marc & Mark on Morning Sedition.

Halfmast Trousers: Randi Rhodes is the only thing ruining Air America's potential.

No she's not.

lepton68: Fact-based, professional, entertaining.

Hardly. I've heard quite a few factual errors from her, she routinely bullies people off the air, and her attempts at humor are cringe-inducing.

She blows, as do Mike Molloy, Sam Seder, and the rest of the screeching mob.

Let's just hope she doesn't piss in another jesusmas tree.

CheekyMunky: she routinely bullies people off the air,

Listen to her beat-down of Nader. *THAT* was entertainment.

Puppeteer_23: I miss Marc & Mark

I like the Lionel show. He hates Bush like everybody else but, he'll talk about guitars, too.

What a dumbass

Lionel can be amusing.

Seder is pathetic, just pathetic.

And Randi is even more so.

Not AAR, but Stephanie Miller doesn't make me cringe like she used to (her sidekick blows, though.)

The best lefty talkshow host I hear is, by miles, Ed Shultz.

/Right winger here, by the way.

Randi Rhodes needs to get laid, BAD!!!

mikemoto: Randi Rhodes needs to get laid, BAD!!!

Oh Oh OH pick meeeeeeeeeee.

Gee, I bet she didn't do this to get fired so she could get out of her contract and work for someone else that offered her a job.

vudukungfu, trust me, big-racked, obnoxious, boisterous biatches like that are NOT freaks in the sack.

But, take what you can get.

lepton68: She is the rock of Air America. Fact-based, professional, entertaining. The best show on talk radio. That new idiot owner must put her back immediately! What's he thinking?

He's probably a Hillary supporter, in fact, I've heard him interviewed and I'm pretty sure he is.

Randi Rhoads is nothing but a lefty Michael Savage, if you like that kinda crap.

Her and her barfly crazy are the only entertaining thing on Air America.

CheekyMunky:

She blows, as do Mike Molloy, Sam Seder, and the rest of the screeching mob.

You sound like a real authority considering Molloy hasn't been on the air in years and Seder has been moved to crucial time slot of Sunday afternoons....

In other news...

Air America is still around.

Left-wing radio personality says something that should not be tolerated: Instant disciplinary action

Right-wing radio personality says something blatantly racist: Defense from corporate media, yelling about how it's blown out of proportion on the pundit shows, statement of support from owning company, eventual slap on wrist

The fact that Limbaugh is still on the air by itself is proof that the media sympathizes with the Right.

When I worked at Target Technical Services at their HQ, one of the techs I shared an office with insisted on listening to Air America all damned day.

I lean towards the Democrats on most issues.

I thought this was the most annoying thing ever. It was like listening to Rush or any other AM Republican shiat-fest.

It made me view both sides' radio shows as two little kids on either side of the kiddie pool pissing as much as they can and then blaming the other.

I prefer NPR. Sure, they lean to the left on some issues. But at least it's a calm, informative process that invites and interviews all sides of the story without all the spin.

barneyfifesbullet: Randi Rhoads

Randi Rhodes. She had to copy the name of somebody cool to feel important.

They filled chapter 11. The reason everyone thinks they went out of business is because when they filled chapter 11 Limbaugh and his cronies went on and on about how they went 'out of business.'

More talk radio lies and half-truths. Don't listen to them.

barneyfifesbullet: barneyfifesbullet: Randi Rhoads

Randi Rhodes. She had to copy the name of somebody cool to feel important.

In all honesty, Rhode Island isn't that important.

Randi actually annoyed and pissed me off enough to switch parties. She's a bully, in love with the sound of her own voice, and cares more about convincing everybody she's in charge and she's right, than she ever has been about actually *being* right. She seems to forget that a talk show means she and her callers talk - she thinks it's a religious program; all her caller call in, and get five words in while she froths and screeches for three or four minutes and then hangs up on them.

Being a gun person, it was her blatant, forceful mis-representation of US v Miller when she was covering it in the wake of Virgina Tech that was the last straw. Other stuff was bigger, but she just LIED (as she loves to emphasize) a little too much with that one for me.

Sorry, Randi. The dangerous gleam from the point on the top of your head scared away another potential supporter for your party. Might want to file it down before you hurt yourself.

Rhandi Rhodes exists for one reason.

To make Michael Savage look like a mellow and reasonable fellow.

she is the vilest and shrillest woman I've ever listened to and her rants lack any semblence of professionalism.

Didn't they go bankrupt or something??

Curious, what exactly did she lie about?

This is the format of 99% of Conservative Talk Radio. And switching parties because of one annoying radio personality is stupid.

Yep. How many companies that go into bankruptcy actually cease opperations?

Agreed, you can't listen to 5 minutes of Hannity or Rush without hearing some half-truth or outright lie.

Bufu: Lionel can be amusing.

That's news to me. The one time I heard Lionel's show, he was trying to "peel the onion" of why people cared that the Pope had died. Numerous people called in to explain that it really wasn't very mysterious, but he insisted that he wanted to "go deeper." So, he wasted his entire program talking about how he wanted to "go deeper," but never went beyond a very superficial level. Maybe I'm a snob, but I thought it was pretty inane.

He did keep me listening for quite a while. Don't think I'd listen again, though.

Maybe it was a "meta" thing, where he was making some sort of a statement on the futility of trying to get insight from talk show callers. Phil Hendrie has that covered.

Michael Savage makes me laugh. I don't believe he's a real person. I think Phil Hendrie comes into the studio and plays him for 3 hours every night.

/Sorry. I will stop talking about Hendrie.
//His old show was better, you know?
