Err America Radio is flopping bigtime in the ratings and the DUmmies analyze this situation in this THREAD titled, “Uh-Oh....Air America ratings slipping in NYC?” Yes, Err America Radio, launched with much fanfare a year ago, is going straight down the tubes. But the Left need fear not. They will still have National Public Radio if Err America gives up the ghost. As usual the DUmmie whinings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wishing that he could receive Laura Ingraham on the radio, is in the [brackets]:
Uh-Oh....Air America ratings slipping in NYC? This is from Drudge, so one has to consider the source. But if true, it's not good news.
'AIR AMERICA' RATINGS TURBULENCE IN NY CITY: Surprising many observers who expected it to shine during election season, all-liberal upstart WLIB (1190 AM) -- base station for Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo -- actually headed south, shedding 15% of its summer audience to finish fall at 24th place in just-released ARBITRONS...
[24th place? What was in 23rd place? The Static Sound Hour?]
Get rid of Jeanine Grafolo maybe 7-10 will become listenable again
[The sound of paint drying would get higher ratings than Grafolo. Or is her name Crayolo?]
They need to work on the FUNNY and the SNARKY...and lighten up on the earnestness a bit. There's a fine line between an outraged, though humorous, rant and HECTORING.
[They also need to work on the RATIONALITY.]
I hate to say it, but some of AA is getting very tiresome...and it rhymes with Sandi Sodes. If I hear this woman blow shit and go high-and-mighty on one more friendly caller... Well, that won't happen, because I stopped listening to her weeks ago. My blood pressure has dropped probably 20 points since then.
[Take it easy on Randi Rhodes. The other day she spent two hours whining that countries could have been warned that a tsunami was coming with a mere phone call. She kept repeating that over and over for only a couple of hours. In the old days, Randi would have spent three whole hours beating that subject to death.]
I like Randi, but I think Morning Sedition (and ESPECIALLY Marc Maron) is 3 hours of un-listenable sophomoric drivel. A third rate comic hack who is amazingly unfunny should be doing a stupid sitcom for WB - not trying to educate an audience.
[Strange. I feel exactly the same way about the Glenn Beck show. Maybe we should have a contest over who is a more boring comedian wannabee. Glenn Beck or Marc Maron.]
I dislike it when Randi goes postal on liberal callers. I finally had to stop listening to her, too.
[Randi has been going postal for years.]
they need to get a better signal (I can barely hear the radio through the static when I'm not streaming)
[I heard that the Err America New York station is powered by Chris Heinz riding a stationary bicycle pedal generator.]
Find more people like Randi and Mike that speak with conviction and passion.
[Holding auditions in the mental asylums might be a good start.]
Randi, she is great, but her tangents get tiresome, sometimes it is her voice.
[The rest of the time it is just her annoying personality.]
And if you want to get regular DUmmie FUnnies updates, just ask to be placed on the PING List.
PING!
First!
Could you please put me on the ping list?
Hey, PJ...could you please put my on your DUFU list?
Glenn Beck is killer! Lousy DUmmie troll!!! :-D ...JFK
In...smartly following the first responses...it's gauche to be FIRST
Probably not second. Thanks PJ.
BTW...I read somewhere else in Free Republic today that they are 24 out of a TWENTY TWO station market??? Now how does that compute?
Up until last week I felt your pain, but then I got XM Radio, and now I can listen to Laura any time she's on the air and I feel like listening to her. Life is good.
BWAHAHAHAH! That was a great line, P.J.!!! :)
[24th place? What was in 23rd place? The Static Sound Hour?]
NOPE...the static sound is the remnants of the 'Big Bang'...that came in before Err America.
Whew! I was beginning to think I just didn't get it with Beck. I can't stand him! He's NOT funny and he is irritating.
Pray for W and Our Troops
LESS funny than AL FRANKEN? They must be horrible because he's as funny as a boil on your butt.
The fact that he thinks he's a wit makes him less funny.
You know, P.J., sir, I'm deaf, and so I probably don't miss much by not listening to Err America, but these DUmmies confuse me.
If you look at a lot of previous postings in DUmmieland, you get the impression they really really really like this "Randy Roadkill" (or whatever).....but then suddenly, abruptly, in the twinkling of an eye, she's no good.
Is there anybody DUmmies like for more than five minutes?
Jeanine Garafalo is cute in a nerdy, librarian who would be fun if she let her hair down sort of way. Her voice is grating and her constant whining would drive me nuts though. Having to listen to that voice without some boobies to stare at would not be worth it.
What is the deal about Sean talking about DUmmie FUnnies? I'm watching now...should I expect something??? Cool beans if true!
