Randi Rhodes announced today that she is quitting Air America. Rhodes made the surprise announcement in a prepared statement at the opening of today's broadcast of the Randi Rhodes Show.
On a related note the Arbitron ratings came out (for New York only) and it is not pretty. Air America on WLIB came in ranked #24 between #25 Mexican Radio and #26 Wall of Voodoo.
LEGAL CLARIFCATION REQUIRED: If you quit on a radio show with no ratings does that count as a resignation?
The Air America message board is in mourning.
In case you missed it...here is the updated timeline of the Air America Death Watch. I won't cheat and post it but I had meant to post a prediction that she would be the first to go. From what I understand she had a bigger audience in Florida then she was getting on AAR's "national" network. I don't think her little "assassination" joke helped.
Just wait a few weeks.
Dems fuzzy math strikes again.
comprendre=comprende
sorry, I had a French moment there...
You wouldn't be talking about Yngwie J. Malmsteen, would you? I get all the Yngwie Malmsteen's of the world mixed up.....;^)
Another one bites the dust!
I hear the talking of the DJ
Can't understand just what does he say
You bring the sodas; I'll supply the popcorn. :)
Yeah, that one. Maybe they should hire Yngwie for their network. He could play guitar in the studio and drown out Franken's voice, that would probably lead to higher ratings.
"The day I say thank you to RumsfeldThat's so gawddamned funny I just can't express myself. LOLFOFRFI!

Randi,
Please don't leave us to the wiles of the conservative media. We need a station of truth tellers the get the word out there ... The station's only two months into it's on air life, please don't bail on us yet. We need you.
Everyone has to make their sacrifices during scary times to help save us from the evil that lurks in our midst. We're all doing our part, but your part is bigger than most. Please stick with us and don't leave us.... For whatever it's failings, Air America is our last, best hope. Please, _please_ don't abandon us. I know you'll land on your feet if you leave, and you'll be back on the air in some markets, but Air America has a national audience and a huge following. Continue to stand on your soap box and scream as loud as you wish, just don't silence yourself to the country now.

One tenth of a point?
Percy Sutton is not pleased.
I wish I didnt know who she was. She jokingly called for the president to be shot in a "joke" which followed with the sound of a gun going off, and has made various derogitory remarks about the troops.
If Err America is the lefties' "last, best hope" they'd better start mixing up the Kool-aid right now.
Twelve people raped her? (I am so not up to speed on this woman. Who is she?)
Remember when the elite media did story after story about Air America when it first went on the air? They fell all over themselves to puff it up. Well, I just just searched Google news at 9:45 pm, Pacific Time. Google news stories are updated minute by minute. Nine hours after her announcement, there is not a single news article about her resignation. 'Splain that, Joe Conason...
Will there be popcorn for sale?
My stomach isn't strong enough to watch them and eat at the same time.
or how about the more accurate "snore"
The DUmmys have been dead for a long time, they just don't have sense enough to lay down and rot decently.
