The vast arid wasteland known as liberal radio is becoming even more barren. Loose-cannon lefty Randi Rhodes is pulling the plug on her show.
News of Rhodes' impending departure came in a terse statement from Premiere Networks, which broadcasts her show through 35 affiliates -- "[We] can confirm that Randi Rhodes has decided to end her national radio program. We've had a successful partnership with Randi for several years and we wish her all the best for the future. Premiere Networks will conclude syndication and production of Randi Rhodes on May 16, 2014." (Audio clips after the jump)
Rhodes spent considerable time on her show this week saying goodbye to listeners and outlining the rationale for her decision. She also couldn't resist taking swipes at Al Franken and Rachel Maddow, her former colleagues at now-defunct Air America Radio, especially Maddow (audio) --

Good riddance!!!
Avast called this picture a threat.
I don’t recall how it happened, but several years ago, I tuned into some radio station where hate speech was pouring into the air waves. I cannot remember the content, just that it was bitter, resentful, and full of lies. The hate spewer did say her name sometime during the few minutes I heard her rant.
I can’t say I’m sorry to see her go. She should never have been kept on the air for as long as she was.
Oh, my goodness. She looks as bitter as she sounds. Spewing hate every day must be very corrosive to one’s world view, and that corrosion shows in her demeanor.
Randi,in her Air America days,was a vile shrew.
Oops,she still is.
.
I was a little reckless and rowdy back then. Well, a lot...
Dang, look at the grip she has on that mic. She must hate phallic symbols.
:snork: She talks just like she looks! Like...you know...OMG
Just. wow. (Hallelujah for transcripts. That would have surely made my ears bleed if I’d had to hear it)
No loss...
Love it when they choke.
Never do that again. OK, I realize she's not Helen Thomas, but geez . . .
If a Liberal Radio Screeches on her last day does anyone hear it?
You know like a falling as tree in the forest...
“He claim to fame was when she blamed a right wing mugger when she fell down piss drunk after downing a bunch of Ketel One vodka.”
‘Cept I just read that she fabricated that story and got caught lying because the bar had a security camera that showed she simply fell down all by herself through sheer drunkenness.
Translation: DAMMIT! I never got mine. I'm still here on this dying network of 35 stations.
Political talk show radio arose because conservatives had such a small voice in the U.S. mass media. Conservative commentators found niches at low wattage AM stations, sometimes buying air time and paying for it by selling commercials and reading them on the air. Liberals had no need for talk radio because the establishment news media slanted to the left. By the time people like Randi Rhodes and her cohorts thought about talk radio people from Joe Pyne up to Rush Limbaugh had made it look like an easy job. It wasn't easy as Rhodes, Maddow and Frankin found out when they launched the unintentionally comical Air America.
the lush that got drunk once tooo often, fell down and knocked some teeth out, that Randy Roads??? feh... 
Mine did too......Hmmmmm
She isn’t very well-spoken. Perhaps that is one of the reasons she sucked.
Mine did too......Hmmmmm
...and mine...!
There’s a ‘y’ after that, his name was Randy. And a lot of people worshiped him as a guitar player.
