There is now a cryptic ANNOUNCEMENT on Mike Malloy's website:
MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIO
There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are as shocked as you are. We are told its a financial decision.
As a result there is great mourning in the Leftist blogosphere as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD posted by Mrs. Mike Malloy titled, "Mike Malloy Fired from Air America Radio." Joining in the mourning process are the Daily Kos KOmmies with a THREAD titled, "BREAKING: Air America Does It Again - Mike Malloy FIRED." The amazing thing here is that even though many leftists have been ANNOYED by Al Franken or irritated by Randi Rhodes, they all liked Mike Malloy. So does this sound like the actions of a thriving radio network or the work of desperate cost cutting in order to afford the overinflated salaries of Franken and Rhodes? I will leave that speculation for later but right now let us join the DUmmies and KOmmies as they mourn the lost of Malloy in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, watching Air America sinking ever faster in the ratings, is in the [brackets]:
Mike Malloy Fired from Air America Radio
[While continuing to pay the non-talented Al Franken millions. Continue Mrs. Malloy aka MalloyProducer...]
This is not a published news article, but I think it qualifies as LBN.
[LBN stands for Latest Breaking News for those of you unfamiliar with DUmmieSpeak.]
This is Kathy Bay Malloy and we just got news that as of this minute we've been terminated by Air America Radio.
[Mike's salary was needed to pay for Al Franken's private jet fuel expenses.]
We don't have all the details yet, but got a tip from someone who'd seen the new network lineup that we weren't included after all. We just had that confirmed by one of the suits a few minutes ago. We're told that its a financial decision.
[Al and Randi's knick-knacks don't come cheap.]
Thank you so much for your ongoing support and we'll keep you updated as we receive more information.
[Thanx for the news tip, Kathy. It will certainly be a featured DUmmie FUnnies item as we watch the continued sinking of Air America into the ratings toilet.]
omg!! Can anyone confirm this?
[Mrs. Malloy just did plus Mr. Malloy also confirmed it on his website. What do you need? For it to be engraved in stone?]
Kathy is Mike's wife and producer. If she says it's so, it's true.
[They didn't get married last May 12, did they? JUST KIDDING!!! Okay, I am definitely convinced that Air America just stabbed Mike Malloy in the back. So what else is new?]
if this is true than I say SCREW YOU AIRAMERICA!
[It's true but they were already screwed.]
We still have Ed Schultz to listen to ! This was a shot at a little dark humor, hope it didn't hurt too much
[Yeah, you can listen to Blowhard Ed Schultz give his baloney explanation about how he converted into a liberal Democrat while eating a Salvation Army baloney sandwhich which "coincidentally" happened about the same time the DNC handed him a bundle of cash to become a phony liberal.]
The corporate spin-doctors have some kind of lever with the advertisers at AAR and are trying to marginalize and splinter the rest of us. All is okay with whatever but just be aware how successful AAR had become in so short of a time.
[Air America became successful in a short time? And what dreamworld are you living on?]
I will not be listening to AAR if mike is not part of their line-up, I love Randi but not enough to tune in to an outlet that is destroying itself from within.
[Yeah, real success going on their with Air America. Now even their hardcore base is abandoning them.]
I hope it's a joke or prank but...if it's not it needs to receive the widest viewing that DU readers can help it with.
[Hey, I'll even help out by featuring this thread in the DUmmie FUnnies.]
What the hell is going on over at AAR anyway?
[It's called Going Down the Toilet.]
Goddamnit. Kathy, I am so pissed right now. Unbelievable. I'm speechless. Please keep us updated.
[Update: Al Franken is getting another undeserved raise.]
Let me just say f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck
[Let me just say ha ha ha ha ha]
Who's really running Air America?
[George Soros.]
what a SCANDAL! you guys are the best of air america they'll be hearing from me, definitely. i can't believe they'll keep al franken (i turn air america off every day at lunchtime) and not keep you guys.
[Al Franken is very popular in the insomniac wards.]
Was he fired for cause or just because of ratings?
[If it were just for ratings then ALL Air America hosts would be fired.]
Maybe bushco has gotten control of AirAmerikkka
[And Karl Rove is now their program director.]
I predict that Firing Malloy will be the end of Air America.
[That's like predicting the demise of a corpse.]
Air America Radio really f*cked up this time. Looks like the NeoCons have infiltrated AAR management.
[God forbid you lay the blame on the liberals for firing Mike Malloy. No, it's all the fault of those nasty NeoCons. They're everywhere! They're everywhere!]
UN-F*CKING-BELIEVABLE.... No wait it is believable becuase this country is going to shit. From this moment on I am DONE with AAR. Completely done. They can take Jerry Springer and shove him up their asses.
[Ironically, you now sound like a perfect guest for the Jerry Springer TV show... "And today on Jerry Springer, outraged Mike Malloy fans who want to shove Jerry Springer up the asses of Air America!"
Air America is dead to me.
[Can we use that for the Air America promo?]
AAR - Youre dead to me. Bookmarks deleted. As of today, no more... F*ck them. The only one I listened to regularly on that network is Malloy. AAR - You're Dead to me.
[Redundancy can be quite catchy as well as contagious.]
A blitz on AAR sponsors... might cut to the heart of the matter. I listen online so I don't hear most of the commercials. Maybe someone could start a list of sponsors with contact numbers.
[You want a list of AAR sponsors? Just look at blank page.]
Shultz, Franken and the rest of the remaining lot ... are nothing but useless boring idiots IMO.
[And this DUmmie WINS a Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity!]
So sorry Kathy. I foresee the imminent demise of AAR...
[I forsaw that result from the day they went on the air.]
OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!! F*CKING SON OF A BITCH MOTHER F*CKING AA JACK ASS EXECS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Malloy is this generations Thomas Paine. He is THE most powerful voice for the LIBERAL ideals of this country. I love Mike Malloy for his passion and his unrelenting courage to call these mother f*cking bastards in the bush crime family just what they are. And they fired him?!!!! This can't be true, this just can't f*cking be true!
[Mike Malloy fired? Bush's fault! And now we move to the KOmmie WAKE for Mike Malloy...]
BREAKING: Air America Does It Again - Mike Malloy FIRED
[Air America fired Mike Malloy twice?]
The asshats at Air America Radio have shown their stupidity again by firing one of their most popular and progressive hosts, Mike Malloy.
[That's so they can pay the inflated salaries of their least popular hosts.]
HE SIGNED A NEW F*CKING CONTRACT. They said, F*CK OFF today.
[Business ethics, Air America style.]
Franken's their big star. I think Al gets pretty much what Al wants.
[And what Al wants is $$$$$.]
Loved Mike Malloy and wish they would put Al Franken on in his time slot...so I could fall asleep faster.
[Listening to Al Franken works better than sleeping pills.]
The AAR business model is very flawed. Instead of a network of shows they should have been in the syndication business.
[AAR had a BUSINESS model? News to me.]
I can explain this. Malloy operates on the theory that saying "the flying monkey Right" enough times in a show makes it brilliant radio. The problem is, every time he says "flying monkeys," Err America has to pay L.Frank Baum's descendants a nickel. Mike's show was costing an average of $10,000 per hour on flying monkey royalties alone.
Without that expense, Err America might actually be able to get back on some 250 watt powerhouse somewhere.
Sure, that's why you can sell ads on nip/tuck and Desperate Housewives, because the corporate ad buyers are so deathly afraid of we conservatives. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that people other than the DU membership don't actually listen to malloy's show.
I can't believe it. They got rid of their firebrand of hate!
I cannot get throug to news busters...what does it say?
Bushco already has control of DU and KoS. Why would we need AA?
Did your Diebold Hackware 3.1 arrive yet? I hear the beta was buggy.
HE SIGNED A NEW F*CKING CONTRACT.
Mike Malloy, or benburch?
OUCH!
Milwaukee talk host Charlie Sykes and I both predicted that the XFL would be huge, and compared it to the Monkees--just because it was a knockoff didn't mean it wouldn't go anywhere. Boy, were we WAAAAAAAAYYYYY off!
Welcome aboard, PINGEE #905.
Thanks....What is at NewBusters? I cant open the link
"Hey Ma! Come down in the basement and look at this!"
What the hell is going on over at AAR anyway?
It's called Going Down the Toilet
Circling the bowl. baby, circling the bowl.
Let me just say f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck
Who says the Left has lost its eloquence?
Who's really running Air America?
[sound of Silverback wheezing after laughing himself out of breath placed here instead of his comment about how DUmb these people are to think any statistically significant number of people would want to listen to Malloy ]
Maybe bushco has gotten control of AirAmerikkka
The selective loyalty of the DUmmies fascinates me. They can stay loyal to socialism even after it kills millions, they can stay loyal to American liberalism even after it has ruined whole classes of our society, but if Err America ditches someone they like, it must be an evil Rovian plot by the KKK!
I predict that Firing Malloy will be the end of Air America.
I am reminded of the pirate Blackbeard, who had five bullets in him and had suffered twenty cutlass blows before he finally fell. Of course, Air America is no tough guy, but still, this is like somebody watching cutlass number 19 eat into the dude and saying "This might be bad for his health."
Looks like the NeoCons have infiltrated AAR management.
Oh yeah, our plan for world domination could never succeed while Mike Malloy was criticizing them in front of a whole 3 or 4,000 listeners!
UN-F*CKING-BELIEVABLE.... No wait it is believable becuase this country is going to shit.
Yeah, that whole free enterprise system is a real bummer.
Air America is dead to me.
Enjoy Limbaugh and Hannity!
A blitz on AAR sponsors... might cut to the heart of the matter.
And best of all, it will only take about two minutes to call them all.
OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!! F*CKING SON OF A BITCH MOTHER F*CKING AA JACK ASS EXECS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How will I, as a writer, ever compete with such prose? Woe is me, I set down my pen, never to take it up again. I am ashamed.
The asshats at Air America Radio have shown their stupidity again by firing one of their most popular and progressive hosts, Mike Malloy.
No, no, no, that needs editing, and though you've shown me I'm not eloquent enough to be a writer, I can still edit. Let's see...
The asshats at Air America Radio have shown their stupidity again by continuing to broadcast every day.
There, fixed it!
HE SIGNED A NEW F*CKING CONTRACT.
Mike Malloy, or benburch?
The AAR business model is very flawed.
Flawed is improperly used here as a synonym for non-existant.
Franken's their big star.
And yet, the DUmmies think that the neocons are the problem! [CHORTLE]
Let's be fair...she might have written that announcement because he has difficulty expressing a coherent thought without talking about flying monkeys, not because he's whipped.
AirAmerikkka? What the hell does that mean? Is this DUmmie actually letting people know that the KKK is still the terrorist arm of the Democrat party?
When you filter out all the expletives, they're taking this news better than you think.
Refresh my memory...did he do it on the radio?
ROTFLMBO!
A recent analysis finds that DU has less than 3,000 real posters, including all the souls who've been tombstoned. at ten bucks a pop, that's $30,000. Granted, Malloy's not worth that, but I don't think he'll work for that little. :-)
Top 100 after exile!!
