Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t!!!! Randi Rhodes to end her show on May 15th!
 
According to Ed Schultz...

Very very very sad to hear this news.....I have been listening to her daily for over 10 years!

I am heartbroken...

I am secretly hoping that she just continues on with her IheartRadio channel.....

She's probably still suffering from the beating Dick Cheney's Blackwater thugs gave her.

5. She disappeared a few years ago after an incident in NYC...
 
...but recovered and came back.

9. Well that is ONE mysterious incidence from way back in Air America days...
 
many years ago....

Is Hillary Clinton dealing with "personal demons" because she fell down and had a concussion? This is just ridiculous....

Alcoholism, however, is another matter.


I'll wager that the minute the news broke that Rhodes' fall WASN'T a Reich-wing attack the Proglodytes were disappointed on the inside.

2. I think Randi really wants to leave the country, and Clear Channel hasn't made it easy for her to...

compete. It'll be interesting to hear the reason for this. I remember the celebrations when her contract was renewed. Why the abrupt exit?

You know what would make it easy for her to compete?

Talent.

11. Corporate media killed her on terrestrial...

...then on satellite. I think she'd keep her show if anyone would let her keep an audience.

She fought the good fight for many years. Luck to Randi!

16. I guess so. No radio broadcast for Randi in Chicago or anywhere in the Midwest. I even have
 
Satellite radio and still no Randi.

20. Talk radio is dead. Randi should start her show up on the Internet.

Be it podcasts, or Youtube broadcasts, something else.

She can do it pretty much on her own, and won't have to answer to Clear Channel dickhead CEOs, or anyone else trying to censor her.

So, basically we have a bunch of whining that says Rhodes couldn't possibly be leaving except by the nefarious schemes of evil-doers.

These idiots are incapable of accepting responsibility for anything in their lives.

Is it a small wonder then they cannot think on their own and need MSNBC, Rhodes and the rest to tell them what to think from one minute to the next.

Dammit...I wondered why every time I tried to tune her in an unseen force would not let me turn the radio dial.

You still have a radio dial? Mine was replaced by a Koch Control which automatically tunes my radio to whatever channel the Koch brothers want me to listen to.  :tinfoil2:

Well that explains *part* of the reason you're dumber than a bag of hammers. Or at least it's a start.

They tried to dump her last year.  She was supposed to get another year, but her ratings must be in the toilet.

Or maybe it's because she called Hillary a whore back in '08 and the powers that be want her gone.

This is really serious guys.  When you have a face for radio, your options become seriously limited.  I mean, who would hire that for even an entry level secretary position? Would you want to have this as the face of your company? Would you want such a shrill voice answering the phone?  Maybe she could work third shift as a security guard.  She would most certainly have some problem with weaponry, but seeing that face charging at you from out of the darkness would scare any criminal.

She's as hopeless an alcoholic as Bill Pitt.

You may recall a few years ago when, in a drunken stupor, she did a faceplant into a New York curb,
breaking her face and a bunch of teeth.

I thought Randi Rhodes was a WWE wrestler.
Or at least a descendent of one...





One day I actually met Abdullah the Butcher in person one on one.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
