No need to publish milk cartons with the picture of Randi Rhodes on them. Call off the APB alerts. Randi Rhodes, who has been out of public view for several months, will reemerge on the radio airwaves May 11 following her mysterious departure from Nova M radio in February. The irony of Randi's return is that it is being made possible by her new syndicate, Premiere Radio Networks, best known for syndicating such shows as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and other conservatives. Here is how the return of Randi was covered in the Radio Equalizer:

Not everybody gets three shots at radio syndication, but for whatever reason, that's the fate of libtalker Randi Rhodes.

Late today, Premiere Radio Networks, home of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and many others, announced that it has signed Rhodes to a new deal involving nationwide distribution of her resurrected program.

Even within the still-fledgling and internally-competitive world of liberal talk radio, Randi is a controversial figure, especially as a result of a number of high-profile public flaps.

I thought Randy Rhodes was the guitarist for Ozzy that died back in the early to mid 80s?

[ChicagahAl]

I thought he was a WWF Pro Wrestler.

Where’s the pic of Rove coming out of the sewer and grabbing her ankle?

Preemptive move to counter any possible return of the "fairness doctrine"?

She made a least on air appeals for the murder of President Boosh.

She should be far away from a microphone, likely locked up.

“at least 2” (keyboard problems)

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Does she have her false teeth now?

[umgud]

What happens if she doesn’t pull in any ratings?

[a fool in paradise]

Then they will be elligible for a govt. subsidy.

[Roscoe Karns]

You have a good memory!

[DennisR]

She won’t be on for long - you have to have more than three listeners to stay on the radio.

[shadeaud]

She’ll have no person of any intellect listening to her which means she should get enough liberals to keep the dunce on the air.

Bring out the booze hag. America loves to hear daily ( well only them that listen) how terrible we are .How great we could be if we all only agreed with her drunkeness , and the rest of the anger filled loonies.

Welcome back randy, have a short one , tell us what @ss es we are.

[synbad600]

LOL!!! I love it!

[DGHoodini]

Letting her out of the Sanitarium again, hunh?

[Political Junkie Too]

Preemptive move to counter any possible return of the "fairness doctrine"?

That was my first thought. It will also be a good baseline for proving that the AM radio market just aren't buying those ideas if her ratings are still dismal.
