I was at a library up in Palm Beach county today doing a little research when I checked my e-mail on the 'puter. Lo and behold one of the e-mails was from NUTTY WJNO FAR LEFT talk show host, Randi Rhodes. Before opening the e-mail I figured it must be just a mass mailing from Randi begging local folks to plead her case in her unending campaign to become a NATIONAL radio host. Such is her desperation. However, it turns out that it was a PERSONAL e-mail to YOURS TRULY. Here is the text:
Man you are out there...and I'm supposed to be crazy.
Love ALL ways,
Randi Rhodes
Where's your network buddy? And just for the record, the Drobny's got bought out.
At first I wondered why Randi singled me out for her attention. Then it dawned on me. Randi, like Ed Schultz (who also mentioned me on his website), probably checks every web reference to themselves. So I entered "Randi Rhodes" on Google and on the second page there was a link to a movie I typed up for Al Gore. Here is the REVIEW of The Italian Job and below is the reference to Randi Rhodes in the review:
For some strange reason there just doesn't seem to be a popular liberal radio talk show host out there. Maybe the answer is to go for shock value and have people tune in a talk freak show for laughs. There actually is somebody qualified to be a freak talk radio host—Randi Rhodes of WJNO Radio in Palm Beach County, home of the infamous Butterfly Ballots where liberal Condo Commandos were so clueless that they ended up mistakenly taking votes away from me and casting them for the last person on earth they would support—Pat Buchanan.
Anyway, I have visited that county a few times since those Butterfly Ballots cost me the election and tuned in the Randi Rhodes show to check her out. One problem with her show is that WJNO has such low power that their signal sputters out and dies before it even gets near the Palm Beach County line.
If you can catch Randi Rhodes before the WJNO signal fades away, it is a truly amazing experience. We are talking about a FULL MOONER here. Randi has a conspiracy theory about almost everything including why she is not syndicated nationally (a right-wing conspiracy led by Rush Limbaugh is targeting her). To listen to Randi is like driving by a big car wreck. Horrible to look at but it definitely draws your attention such as Randi's assertion that her biggest fantasy in life is to give a "Lewinsky" to Bill Clinton aboard Air Force One. Even when Randi goes off the topic of politics, she still sounds NUTS. Randi is probably the last person on the planet to actually believe that OJ Simpson is searching the golf courses of the world in order to track down his ex-wife's killers.
Right now Randi's big topic is how she wants to be syndicated nationally. She knows that Anita Drobny of Anshell and myself are looking for a liberal radio talk show alternative to Rush Limbaugh. As a result, Randi is shamelessly promoting herself for this slot on the air to the extent of asking her listeners to call up the radio syndication services and plead her case.
Randi's desperation is really quite entertaining. The problem is that if I did hire Randi Rhodes for a national radio broadcast, she might mellow out and lose that nutty edge.
Therefore I plan to just string Randi along. I'll pretend that I am interested in her but that I also have to investigate the possibilities of other liberal talk show hosts. This is sure to make Randi even more desperate on the air. Then I will take the taped shows of Randi Rhodes begging to be syndicated and syndicate that nationally. It would be the radio equivalent of Jackass, The Movie. Folks will tune in to those taped Randi Rhodes shows for laughs. Although that shtick will wear out after a few weeks, it is sure to attract a big audience in the short term and allow me to declare victory over Rush Limbaugh.
In addition, Randi is probably familiar with me from my rare posts about her here on the FR. Anyway, the bottom line to leftwing rantoid, Randi Rhodes, is her absolute DESPERATION to become a national radio talk show host. It must be killing her that UNQUALIFIED Al Franken is now getting that chance (doomed to fail). All Al did was mention Rush Limbaugh's name on the title of his book in an attempt to boost sales.
The other person getting a shot at national liberal radio talk radio host stardom is Ed Schultz. This must be even more frustrating to Randi since Schultz doesn't even have any strong political opinions. He is strictly an OPPORTUNIST. When Blowhard Schultz started out in the radio biz, he noticed that it was conservative talk radio hosts that were the most successful so he became a conservative. When that didn't work for him, he was tempted by DNC money and switched to liberal. The fact is that Blowhard Schultz doesn't give a crap about politics. He takes his positions based strictly on how the dollar bill blows. In fact, he is just using his current radio gig to work himself into a position as an NFL commentator.
Meanwhile Randi is watching all this in frustration. But, guess what Randi? Since I'm a compassionate conservative, I'm going to give you a tip that just might get you national attention and that talk radio slot you are so desperate for. Your opportunity will come up in a few weeks when the democrat presidential candidates swing thru Florida. The problem is that Randi will be lost in the media crowd plus how can she sound any nuttier than General Jack D. Ripper? So Randi, my suggestion is this: Do a FOOD REVIEW of Democrat candidate campaign stops. Usually when candidates campaign here they lay out food for the folks at the campaign stops. This year, with at least three desperate major candidates, I believe the food spreads will be more elaborate than ever. Instead of mere lox spread with the bagels, there will be REAL lox with the bagels (of various flavors). Forget hot dogs and hamburgers. We are expecting barbeque ribs at the very least. Therefore a food review of candidate campaign pit stops would be a change for the usual reporting and is sure to attract attention. This then is my gift to you, Randi. You can continue with your usual nutty and incredibly conspiratorial (but funny) rants but include the candidate pit stop food reviews. It is sure to attract attention from the national media (I can see Al-Qaetie Couric interviewing Randi on this topic) and may get yourself the publicity for your national gig attempt.
And why, fellow Freepers, should I be giving this good tip to Randi who constantly rants against conservatives? Because Randi on a national radio talk show would represent the final nail in the coffin of liberalism. Randi would present true face of liberalism that is often kept hidden from the public.
Oh, and Randi, what "network buddy" were you refering to. And I KNOW the Drobny's were "bought out." Actually they sold their dopey talk liberal idea to some DNC sucker.
Yeah, but crazy people are often FUN to listen to. Randi Rhodes on the national stage with her LOONEY conspiracy theories would totally DISCREDIT liberalism. Randi has more conspiracy theories in her left pinkie than Oliver Stone ever dreamt up in his whole life.
That's what's killing Randi right now---"Randi whoever???" And thus she shall remain as long as she is stuck at WJNO. The WJNO radio signal is so weak that it only barely reaches the Palm Beach County line if the WJNO stationary bicycle guy, powering their generator, pedals extra hard. Meanwhile the breaks are given to UNQUALIFIED Al Franken and Blowhard Ed Schultz who is ONLY a liberal for now because it offers him the easiest way to make a buck. Tough luck, Randi. But, remember, your OPPORTUNITY will come when the media herd arrives in Florida for our primary here in a few weeks. Yes, you can still do your mental case rant but a FOOD REVIEW of the candidate campaign stops just might bring you the attention you need to break out into the national scene. And if that happens, The Electrician here and most everyone else can also laugh at your rantoidal displays.
Oh, and Randi has certainly lived up to her nutcase image. Somehow I feel I had the major role in getting her nuttiness out on the Err America airwaves.
Ironically, however, I am in sort of the same boat at Randi when she was broadcasting out of a small radio station in Palm Beach County and pleading for a national show during her program. I am basically doing the same thing pleading for a book deal. Only instead of a national radio show, I am looking for a publisher for the DUmmie FUnnies book (with CD-ROM insert for the related comix stories). Irony.
p.s. Mary Matalin---CHECK your e-mail!!!
I live right in the middle of WJNO'S footprint, and I usually listen to rush on WJNO. But just before the end of Rush's show, I switch to WIOD from Miami for the end lest I forget to change the dial and accidentally have that moonbat RR infect my car or my personal aura (walking with walkman). Not that Schnitt is much better.
Schnitt is pathetic and aggravating. I've never heard a talk host brag about himself so much and brainless brag about being independent. The guy is very spaced out. Talks about all his phone numbers to get to him yet he shits on callers by leaving them on hold forver as he rants on and on and on and on and on and on....
I remember when Schnitt used to brag about how his career was taking off like a rocket and he was on his way to becoming the next Rush Limbaugh. I used to want to smash my radio every time Schnitt used that routine. Finally, even Schnitt realized how pathetic that sounded and dropped that shtick. Actually Schnitt's shtick is to sound like some high school sophomore in the locker room ragging on stuff in the news. Not funny and worst of all, BOOOOOOORIIIINNNNGGG!!!
