XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED APRIL 27, 2005 09:01:25 ET XXXXX
AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS'
**Exclusive**
The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!
The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."
The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.
"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.
[A Randi Rhodes Fan site is offering an mp3 clip of the broadcast.]
Developing...
RR is a vile whore from south florida. She is a darling of the democrats here. Mark Foley(R) and Clay Shaw(R) trounce her communist choices in democrat party every election cycle. She's a former rock dj who bragged on air of her times spent backstage on her back and knees with whatever band that rolled through town. Her scabbed knees are a badge of honor.
Randi Rhodes is the radio version of Maureen Dowd.
If the Justice Department and the Secret Service are monitoring Err America, that may account for about 20% of their listening audience.
Ping....they're getting up their resolve.
I have always thought this character very weird. Sort of a Tonya Harding on medications.
But I am quickly warming up to her!
I remember something about her saying she posted her husbands nude picture as he's smoking pot on the internet and that he was a little upset. I guess he's an EX husband now tho. She is so foul mouthed...I can only take 5 minutes tops before I tune out.
Get the SEC,FCC or FBI to investigate interstate mail fraud with bounced check, check kiting and lying to a federal agency (through the mail)about your radio corporation, then everyone involved with Air America will experience the "true corporate" experience of death by a thousand legal cuts... we turn their weapons against them... lawyers.
You know... sometimes I just think great things.... I have a dream!!!! Lawyers eating up Air America, one dollar at a time........... beautiful!!!
I guess I won't be signing up for XM.....
I swear, it was the worst talk radio I've ever heard, with the possible exception of those "talk shows" that are really herbal supplement sales pitches. Franken was boring, with a couple of really really feeble attempts at humor.
He interviewed George McGovern that day, and while the interview was somewhat passable as interesting, the rest of the show was like watching paint dry. I turned it off after about 20 minutes. Horrid.
She said her and her husband always had pot on them. They even vacationed in Amsterdam last year or so. And then went on the air to tell us about all the hash and other drugs they did. (legally). They thought it was the greatest thing. She supposedly divorced him to take the gig at ErrAmerika in NY city.
Talk about leaning to the right!
ROFL!
"I thought they didn't like guns."
They like guns as much as they like free speech, as long as it's against conservatives.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime"
I'm not at all sure that I'm comfortable with that.
Is there anything so serious that joking about it should be a crime?
I have listened to a little Air America on XM, but it is hard to listen to very much of it. There is constant whining, VERY little humor, and even less discussion of the substance of any issues. It is pretty much pure GOP and Bush bashing, 24/7, or whatever hours they operate. I enjoy and seek all viewpoints, if for no other reason than to sharpen my arguments against liberals, but there is scarcely any real viewpoint provided on Air America. It is all along the lines of "Can you believe that Bush (or insert GOP congressman or radio personality here) said.....???" or similar bilge.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime"

It's on my "To-Do List" just two items down from "Mash nuts flat with a sledge hammer."
I read on a thread yesterday that a man was arrested at an airport for joking about having a gun in his luggage. Apparently, that happens quite often.
It's always somebody else dying that they celebrate. I wish they'd start with themselves. If they are so anxious to inflict death, they should try it on themselves first. But they won't, because they are cowards. They get off on watching someone else die.
