John Mainelli reports in the New York Post that Jerry Springer is out at the liberal-leaning Air America radio network and that other Air America hosts will be shuffled. For Springer, it could be just as well since hes already got a full plate, hosting his TV Talk show and hoofing it on ABCs Dancing With The Stars.
Other moves include Air America morning co-host Rachel Maddow moving into Janeane Garofalos old night shift. Sam Seder, who used to co-host with Garofalo and currently does nights will take Springer mid-morning shift, while Al Franken and Randi Rhodes stay where they are.
Don't Laugh.
I have heard through some important and high ranking sources - that LIMBAUGH DID BUY AIR-America, but sent the money through a 3rd person so it would be hard to follow...... more developing
Or it could be just rearranging the deck chairs..
also ..... I did watch Dancing With The Stars last night - and I must say that Springer did a simplistic - but rather charming rendition of the Cha-Cha...
Either that or...Springer was so bad, even Air America didn't want him.
Anyway, I'm gonna laugh, cuz this is funny.
The last time something leaned this far to the left it was the tower of Pisa.
So that he could get twelve more listeners? Sounds improbable.
I had a car-wreck fascination with the Springer show. It was simply the worst -- hours and hours of the 'serious' Jerry, no guests, lame attempts at humor, etc. What an a**hole he is.
Now that they moved from 1050 AM in NY to 1600 AM, the signal is significantly weaker, and I can't even pick it up anymore. And I'm in southern Westchester, only 15 miles from midtown! What utter losers!!!
Pardon my skepticism but if you have info from an important and high ranking source that Rush bought ErrAmerica his using a 3rd party to keep it quiet hardly accomplished his goal.
Limbaugh bought Air America? How much did Air America have to give Rush to take it off their hands?
Well, that's pretty hard to believe. But since you went 18-1 in 1959, I'll believe you.
Well, he didn't last long did he?
Just who do you think FIRED MIKE MALLOY!!! IT WAS LIMBAUGH.
Malloy's method and message was too effective and someone had to take him out
yep - that was one of my best years.
it's a lot more than rumor.....follow the money
Yes, Rush Limbaugh bought Air America. Right after he burned the plans he gave the Whitehouse for planning 9/11.
Bartender, another please
Wasn't she on with Franken?
Why are you blowing the lid off of this? Next thing you know, the DUmmies will start to question just why their threads are full of wackjobs that make them look more idiotic than they already are.
IF you want to see why we Reagan Democrats vote GOP, your answer is on air america. I have heard Randi Rhodes, Mike malloy, Al franken. My mom doesnt even listen to it anymore
Its not even disagreement with humor. its horribly vile and hateful. I thought the GOP was hard on Clinton in the 90,s, but at least there were ideas they had thrown in on how they wanted to lead.
I heard Gernine Gawdawfulhole baked him a plate of cookies.
How fun would it be if Rush really was their boss.
I heard Rush financed the buy with all the money he made from selling his stash of Vicodin, Oxycotin, and Viagra.
some quack health show on Air America stream?
This is not a screw-up - this is a planned hack job from el-Rushbo
Limbaugh probably had enough to buy Air America between his couch cushions. Could have bought it just for fun just as easily as you or I might have spent twenty bucks on some novelty item.
Notice the avatars of upside down US flags?
I HATE LIBERALS !
The only thing Gernine Gawdawfulhole knows how to bake is half-baked-truths and maybe her pea brain with drugs. But it would be funny to have Rush sit in on her show as the BOSS.
I can't believe anyone with enough intelligence to read and post coherently to these boards actually would look at "Dancing With The Stars"... especially when there are so many better things to do, such as sit in absolute isolation.
"It will be interesting to see the threads where the DUmmies try to distinguish the "wackjobs" from the "normal" posters."
Wouldn't it, though? If we really wanted to fire up the tinfoil paranoia express over there, we'd ask the admin moderator to pull this thread, lol.
So that he could get twelve more listeners? Sounds improbable.
Or the age old tactic of buying up the competition (not that Rush has to worry about them) to kill them.
Or better yet, to change the dynamics and infiltrate them and slowly bring conservative points of view to the audience. A fith column so to speak. Hey, the dems have been doing it for years, why can't we?
the "celebrities" on Air America were getting paid?

Lesbo Rachel Maddow.
Looks more like a Ralph than a Rachel.
Sept. 11 idea likely cost Janeane Garofalo Air America Radio airtime
UPI News Service, 09/03/2006
Former Air America Radio co-host Janeane Garofalo may have been downgraded to "guest host" status months ago due to a planned Sept. 11 show.
While no reason was given for the outspoken actress' exit from her daily role on the radio network's "Majority Report" broadcast in July, the New York Daily News reported that a source said the 41-year-old is saying she left due to a disagreement over a Sept. 11 piece.
"She said she quit because she asked to do a segment where she intended to interview some (Sept. 11) heroes, and the radio brass killed the idea," said the source.
While the "Reality Bites" actress' manager would only say that the rumor may be true, a spokeswoman for Air America Radio denied it.
"Janeane left AAR to pursue other professional opportunities, and we completely supported her
Darwinism in action.
Bump for later reference.
... mired in the ratings below Norwegian hip-hop.
You can bet Bill O'Reilly will be all over this one tonight!
Call me gullible (I'll pause...), but are you addressing the for-real Elroy Face?
HA!!
But, unlike Error-Amerika.
...the Pisa tower's still standing.
Rachel Maddow is big-time openly lesbian.
Elroy does have a nice writeup in Wikipedia if you are interested.
Speaking of "sitting in absolute isolation", did you see G. Gordon Liddy on Fear Factor? LOL.
"Ya, ya, you betcha, livin' in da 'hood, uff da!"

Hmmm. Coincidence? I don't think so.
"also ..... I did watch Dancing With The Stars last night - and I must say that Springer did a simplistic - but rather charming rendition of the Cha-Cha..."
That wasn't Tucker Carlson?
"Looks more like a Ralph than a Rachel."
Looks like Ralph Macchio.
It is true. She bought an old CB radio and is now broadcasting on Citizens' Band from her car.
You can only hear her if you are tuned into whatever CB channel she happens to be using and are within one mile of her car. Even so, her potential audience is now several times what it was when she was on Err America.
Tucker Carlson wasn't charming
I'm no Springer fan, but I thought he did great last night! You have to be a great sport to put yourself out like that. He's an older, out of shape man...he did the best he could and it was fun!
