Last week Air America suspended Randi Rhodes for abusive, obscene language at a recent public appearance in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.
Air America Media was informed last night by Ms. Rhodes that she has chosen to terminate her employment with the company.
We wish her well and thank her for past services to Air America. We will soon announce exciting new talent and programming that will accelerate Air Americas growth in the future.
All of them are LEFT!
Yup, that's the one. ;)
Her six listeners will be orgasmic.
Have they figured out yet that President Bush is not on the ballot?
Hate speech?
From a WaPo article in Sep ‘04
“Rhodes, who’d learned about pistons and carburetors from her boyfriend, enlisted in the Air Force in 1977 and excelled as a mechanic.
“One of the best things I ever did,” she says. “They gave me discipline. They taught me how to work with a team. And, believe me, they teach liberalism, because they say that the weakest guy in your unit can get you killed . . . So it’s your job as a strong leader to reach down to those who have a tough time.” When she moved to New York this spring, the one-time sergeant somehow forgot to pack underwear or socks, but remembered to bring the plaque the 732nd Military Airlift Squadron had awarded her for “your tremendous success in meeting the challenges of the new and ever-changing role of women in today’s Air Force.”
After that came: Two years in the Reserves; an abusive relationship she fled; a weekend shift, playing requests and announcing swap meets, at a tiny radio station in Seminole, Tex.
Eight months of driving a beer truck to pay the medical bills after an ectopic pregnancy.
A cocaine habit picked up as an ‘80s rock jock in New York, where she also acquired the nom de radio Rhodes. Then rehab. (Last drug use: February 14, 1986.)
Her sister Ellen’s death from breast cancer at age 44. Grief and rage.
Parenthood — she raised Ellen’s child, then 11, which is why she refers to Jessica as “my kid,” not “my daughter,” and Jessica calls Rhodes her “parental unit.”
Marriage to her longtime boyfriend, followed by a divorce so nasty that she now says she opposes heterosexual marriage.”

Don't you have to already be growing in order to accelerate your growth?
So wouldn't accelerating a negative growth rate just make them shrink faster?
“honey, i shrunk the network”
What if Air America disappeared and no one noticed?
Oh, wait, I thought they had disappeared a long time ago.
Do they actually still have broadcast?
I suppose they can carry on forever on a few 50 watt college stations, streaming their nonsense into the atmosphere while listened to by only a handful of stoners.......
As least they still have NPR, and PBS, and CBS-ABC-NBC-CNN-PMSNBC..........
randi will appear on the larry king show at 9 PM EDT tonight on CNN !!!
LOL!
I thought that that said "WINO"
(which would have explained a lot)
That’s the point.
What was on WJNO before? What is the ratings for it.
the anti-hillary, pro-obama show is alive and well.
Randi, it takes one whore to know another - and you look like a $2 whore.
The meeting of the AA Listeners Association will be held in a Volkswagen Beetle (with flowers and a Peace sign on it).
I understand Ms. Rhodes in in talks with CBS as a possible replacement for The Perky One.
Like the new line up??
All of them, they are RIGHT!! :-)
I goofed...
I should have said...
All of them, they are NOT RIGHT!! :-)
Sorry!!
