Rhodes Out At Air America

Randi Rhodes Has Announced Her Split With Air America Radio:

According to John Scott, PD of Clear Channel talk KKGN/San Francisco, suspended talker Randi Rhodes (pictured) and Air America network have parted company as of Wednesday (April 9). In a posting on the station Web site Scott says that on Monday (April 14), “it will be our pleasure to announce the return of Randi Rhodes to the Green 960 family.”

Rhodes was suspended indefinitely last week by Air America following remarks she made at an appearance for KKGN where she called both Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro “f—cking bitches.”

An official announcement is expected from Air America about Rhodes’ departure on Thursday (April 10).

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve known this was coming for a while now. You’ll have to tune in Monday afternoon at 3PM to see what happens next. Or I could just tell you now… should I tell you now? Hmm…

Update: Check out this tidbit from The Huffington Post.

A source at Air America, who asked to remain anonymous, said, “Many people screw up and then apologize and move on. Like Imus. Like David Shuster. Like Jay Rockefeller on McCain. Like Obama on Rezko. Like Hillary on Bosnia. Randi Rhodes refused to apologize for her obscene comments and has chosen instead to terminate her relationship with Air America.”

The source also said that there is no love lost between Rhodes and her colleagues at the network. “No one is upset. She made the move but there’s relief and joy.”

Update: Is Randi Rhodes Coming Home?

Update: Somebody just made the front page of FoxNews.com.

    Randi – so much for your face lift/plastic surgery. As they say – you can put a dress on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

    I prefer the dead lead guitar player for Ozzie Osbourne instead. Everything out of her mouth is pure hatred towards our country…

    No big surprise here, as she has said that if the AAR deal went west, then she’d be back at the CC outfit in WPB as if nothing had happened.

    And, truth be told, nothing did happen. She spoke the truth, and a radio network claiming to speak the truth censored her as a result.

    She did the right thing by sticking to her principles and not apologizing about her comments.

    Jessica, change the sheets, she’s coming home!

    Good to have you back at Smith Farm again, Rivka!

    FYI: I’ll post video of the Randi Rhodes/Larry King Live appearance as soon as it airs.

    I did not like Randi bashing Hillary. I’m not crazy about the way Hillary has run her campaign, but felt that Randi’s became obsessed and overboard in her comments, and began to take on the characteristics we all dislike the most about right wing radio.

    I do not always like the way Randi treats callers either. Sometimes she is rude and intolerant.

    That being said, for the most part, she has stood up for America by speaking the truth when others were afraid to. I have listened to her on and off for many years, when she was based in Florida and then when she went to AAR.

    And, on WJNO, her show is sandwiched in between some of the most hateful, divisive, destructive, false and self-serving talk shows that exist. I can’t believe such vitriol pollutes America’s airwaves for so many hours each day, and I would like to know who these people are actually serving.

    I’m stunned someone would hire this fruitcake again. Nut’s like her give democrats a bad image.

    You’d have to be drunker than Randi Rhodes on a Sunday afternoon to actually take her seriously.

    It’s hilarious. The moron got stone drunk, and did a face plant. To cover up her alcoholic black out, she lied and said she was mugged.

    There were eyewitnesses saying she had 14 Bloody Mary’s.

    She must have them for breakfast and lunch on a daily basis. That has to be the explanation for the idiotic crap she spews on her hate america show. That….and stupidity.

    Does this qualify as “hate radio”?

    Randi Rhodes, comparing George W. Bush to Fredo Corleone. She’s openly lamenting that Poppy or Jeb hasn’t taken the president on a “fishing” trip, and blown his brains out. Give it a listen. Does this qualify as “hate radio”? click here to listen

    I’m sure Schnitt will be glad that Randi is back, driving Rush’s audience away from WJNO at 3:00

    Alert all the bars in Northern Palm Beach County Randi is back in town. I hope one of the Right-wing bartenders doesn’t contribute to her getting mugged again…oh wait she just was severly drunk, blacked out, fell down, and knocked out her chicklets. Stay classy Randi!
