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.]
You can tell that they read here often. And I suspect some of the nuttier threads are started by Freepers. A month or so ago, someone answered someone else with "unnnnnnngh!" I figured it HAD to be a Freeper. ;-)
I bet if pot was legalized, you wouldn't hear the DUmmies griping about smoke.
They do have some cute graphics but thats all they got going for them.
I only post them to mock DU. I hate that idiotic bouncing green thing. :)
I'm honestly not too sure that the DUers would have anything to talk about if FR didn't exist. Half of their threads are simply rants about FR.
I'm KINDA grinnin' tonight...I haven't posted Shyte before...but tonight I've had more responses than my total posts ever! Yes...it's a scream to mess with co workers about our little drives!!! For me especially with snow...me and my four wheeler!
Rush is funny because he mocks the high and mighty pretenses of liberal crackpots, generally without being mean about it.
Beck's whole schtick basically is mocking the foibles of his fellow man. And yammering incessantly about his personal issues, how bad he used to be and how insightful he is now that he quit drinking-- which he ought to be saving for an AA meeting somewhere instead of inflicting on his audience.
I think you just insulted Newton, NJ.... ;-)
Oh...OK!! That'll most definitely happen!! Hahahahaha!!! I think this guy took one too many hits off his bong today! What a DUmmie!! hehehe!!
The funny thing is that the Moody Blues are known conservatives.
What if we convinced the DUmmies that the best way to get their message out would be to shut up and seem to disapper, like that movie A Day without Mexicans?
I don't think we should take happiness from the sufferings of others.....wait, these are liberals, never mind..I understand that the the Democrat underground killed Kenny, the bastards....
Isn't she part of the trash that used to hang out in front of Hayaks? :-)
I thought so. I bet they see red everytime they see it. When I see it, it reminds me of their posts where everytime they thought something was going for Kerry, they would post those bouncing green things and say "whoohoo". LOL
The other half of their rants are about how full of hate everyone else is. Did you know that having moral absolutes is hateful? Nutcases!
PHIL HENRY FOR ME!
It seems that he is the only thing you can get in Florida! I visited there and every show I wanted to listen to was in the "static hour" except his 3-hour show! Booo!
Janeane=the poster child for every DUmmie. When you visualize them just think of her and you will nod your head and understand!
