Ah yes, Air America Radio...

I retired in 2007 and had a 40-minute commute every morning, and I just had to listen to this thirty (forty?)-something adolescent.
It was so bad, it was good for guffaws every day, all the way to work. Or maybe it was all the way home, I can't recall.

Her political and social insights were what one would expect from a stoned, totally uninhibited 13-yr-old. And the program lasted almost 2 years!!!

Remarkable.

First of all, I don’t believe she quit.

Second, how stupid can a radio station’s management be to carry her show? Maybe they’re not that stupid and that’s why she’s “quitting”. hee hee

and it was the worst of times because frankly that place was run like, OK, into the ground.

And yet liberals feel free to give their opinions of how the country ought to be run.

Everything they touch is "run into the ground".

For 2014 she is still listed as #63 in the Top 100 Talkers.

#63

Have any of you ever listened to her rant and rave when she was on ErrHead Amerika and Bush was in the WH? Any non-Libtard that had the gonads to call her show would be treated to being screamed at, entertained with an argument devoid of facts, and eventually being hung up on. She is one wack job. I had lost track of where she ended up after Errhead Amerika disappeared as well as it's successor Nova M after Sheldon Drobny attempted suicide.

Rhodes bitter? Sounds like. But Franken made it all the way to the Senate and meaner little troll would be hard to find—though goodness knows he has enough competition among his colleagues in that body.

That was some BS. Libs are still fuming that they were had and it wasn’t a Conservative mugger;

Air America host Randi Rhodes wasn’t mugged (oops)

I looked over the list of thirty-five. There’s some things that you ought to understand.

Some of the thirty-five are simply a sister station in the same area of station #1, that delays the transmission to a evening hour.

From the south, there’s only around three stations that carry her. Most of her thirty-five are on the west coast. Few folks talk about the amount of listeners, and I’d take a guess that fewer than 150,000 folks listen to her on a daily basis, from the thirty-five stations.

Why slam Maddow and Franken? She’s stuck in a small market situation and making probably next to nothing on salary. I doubt if she even makes $80,000 a year. She’s been hoping for the past five years that friendships would pay off and she’d finally get moved into the major leagues. Franken didn’t ever help, and Maddow has virtually nothing to get her onto MSNBC. I would imagine that the guys funding her show talked up 2015 and an anticipated pay-cut, for her to stay on the air. She probably added up the time and future....thinking there’s nothing much to stay around for, and just retire.

It’s hard to stand in her shoes. Mostly nutcase folks listen to her show. There’s no national trends based on what she says. She doesn’t get invited to any fancy Democratic conferences to speak. No foundations ever offer seats or situations to her.

Dam we got rid of RR down here years ago. She was banished to NYC where she belongs. Hope she doesn’t slither back here.
Nasty piece of work.Always keep the dump button handy when shes on.

Randi Rhodes is/was the most vile, hateful individual on any type of media format!

A number of years ago, her show came on right after Rush. Talk about night and day!

Anyway. I didn't know she was still on the radio. Good bye, Randi!

Premier Networks calls 35 affiliates a “national” program? Hate to hear how lonely a regional one sounds......

Whatever happened to that freak Janeane Garofalo?

Probably a carpet munching predator at some junior college.
