Randi, out? (or, rumors of radio wars)
Media Bistro's Fish Bowl LA blog says Randi Rhodes has quit Air America over that "ho" business. Apparently, Air America has released the following statement:
Air America Media was informed last night by Ms. Rhodes that she has chosen to terminate her employment with the company. We wish her well and thank her for past services to Air America.
And Randi's headed to a station in ... San Francisco??? No, not just San Francisco: she's going to Nova M, according to an anonymous FBLA tipster:
She's going to be signing a deal with Nova M Radio in the next few hours for about the same money Air America was paying her. She will broadcast Monday afternoon on all Clear Channel affiliates and several other stations. The folks at Air America don't miss her one bit, in fact she's widely hated among everyone who has actually met her. She has moved from New York City to West Palm Beach, FL and she will broadcast from the WJNO studios.
So it's back home for Randi. And she should feel right at home at WJNO, where her show is currently the only non-right wing wack job program on the air (well, there's George Noory and his space cadets...) Anyhoo, she used to work there in the mid-1990s so it's all good. And a huge opportunity for the very able Sam Seder, who deserves to get the spot (he's been filling in for most of the time Randi has been suspended.) Unless, of course, he's too Obamaphilic for pro-Hillary Mark Green's tastes... in that case, he could lose the gig to Rachael Maddow, who's on TV more (Keith O loves her) and who tends to come off as more pro-Hillary.

Update: Here's the full Air America statement:

Last week Air America suspended Randi Rhodes for abusive, obscene language at a recent public appearance in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.

Air America Media was informed last night by Ms. Rhodes that she has chosen to terminate her employment with the company.

We wish her well and thank her for past services to Air America. We will soon announce exciting new talent and programming that will accelerate Air America’s growth in the future.

And by the by, Randi's new boss, Sheldon Drobny, might not mind a bit if she calls Mrs. Clinton a ho.
I have reviewed past articles written by Ariana about Hillary. I have also listened to Maher over the past year. Both have been very critical of the Clintons. I watched Bill Maher tonight and could not believe that Bill actually defended the Clintons' tactics. I also watched Mark Green on Hardball pretending he was neutral about the Clintons and at the same time defending them. Now let's connect the dots.

Hillary will not appear on any liberal radio shows other than Air America Radio (AAR the network that I started). Both Bill and Hillary get lots of money from the Billionaire Green family. In return the Clintons have helped AAR post bankruptcy.

Almost a year ago I asked Ariana if she would do a show on our Nova Radio Network. She refused and decided to do a show with Mark Green, the CEO of AAR. Ariana and Bill Maher are very close friends. It appears that the rich and famous liberal elites have put fame and fortune ahead of principle.

I recently wrote a piece praising Hillary on the Huffpo (check my archives). After the South Carolina debacle I have changed my opinion. Any objective core Democrat with a conscience has been turned off by the Clintons in SC including former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich who was in the Clinton Administration. Ariana and Maher have some explaining to do.
Ouch...
