Randi Rhodes says John McCain was treated well in Vietnam
2008-09-10 17:25:00 Transcript: Of course he became very friendly with the Vietnamese. They called him the Prince. He was well treated actually. And he was well treated because he traded these propaganda interviews for good treatment. So look, it’s a horrible story anyway you cut it, anyway you look at it, any way you you you deal with ...
Adieu, Randi Rhodes
2008-04-17 07:39:00 by Ernest Partidge Randi Rhodes has left the building, but the controversy lingers on. I rarely write about personalities, being much more interested in issues and ideas. Celebrity-obsession is a major pox on the American body-politic, and I’d just as soon ignore the AAR-Rhodes contretemps. But l’affaire Rhodes bears larger implications that deserve examination. Quite frankly, I will miss the Randi Rhodes show on Air America Radio. She is smart, sassy, witty, and she deftly stroked my political biases. But a typical RR show was like a feast of carnival junk food: enjoyable at the moment, but devoid of much nourishment. (I exclude from this assessment her interviews with such outstanding guests as John Dean, Jonathan Turley and Brent Budowsky). I prefer to listen to the radio with the expectation that I might learn something. Far better to listen to Thom Hartmann and Rachel Maddow, each of whom possess a high-wattage intellect and awesome critical skills, gained through years of ...

Randi Rhodes: The Road Not Taken
2008-04-11 14:14:00 NYP Page Six: "Shock jock Howard Stern was finally left speechless yesterday after a brawl erupted inside his Sirius Satellite studio between his hard-partying sidekick Artie Lange and Lange's assistant, Teddy, which ended with Lange's quitting the show."Air America hostess Randi Rhodes who'd rather quit than apologize over branding Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro "f**king whores" has already landed a new gig. "On Monday she starts broadcasting from WJNO in West Palm Beach, Fla., and she will be syndicated around the country. Among the first to sign up was KKGN ? and she will theoretically be available to any station that would like to have her in the New York market." David Hinckley NYDN The beached Rhodes and Air America were in a Mexican standoff - Rhodes demanded an apology for the suspension and Air America insisted on a mea culpa which she refused to do.

Irony abounds:Randi Rhodes calls anti-Obama types ““big f-ing whore
2008-04-04 15:07:00 James Joyner:  The bitterness of the Democratic presidential race kicked up another notch yesterday, with the discovery that popular Air America radio host Randi Rhodes recently performed a profanity-laced standup routine in which both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton were repeatedly referred to as “big f-ing whores” (minus the sanitization, naturally). (She also called Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Dick Cheney racists and anti-Semites but Air America seems not to be upset by that.) I respond to him in the comments: Rhodes continues to amaze me with her ability to dig deeper holes with her mouth…. particularly since she has so few teeth to dig with anymore, given her recent battle with 17 martinis and a New York city curbstone. James has raised an interesting point about the timing, however, that goes to the heart of the rift in the Demorat party, today. Technorati Tags: “big f-ing whores", Democrats, Randi Rhodes

"Air America" Suspends Host Randi Rhodes for Calling Ferraro, Clinton "Whor

"Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our Hosts," said chair Charlie Kireker.

Randi Rhodes uses what teeth she has left to dig a deeper hole
2008-02-08 13:43:00  Apparently unable to learn from past mistakes, or just too unhinged to know better, Air America Radio host Randi Rhodes has aired another psychotic “parody” skit. This time, the faux ad, supposedly for Mitt Romney, says his supporters will commit mass killings if John McCain becomes the nominee.Airing on Super Tuesday, the recorded bit marks the second time Rhodes has gone overboard in this way: in 2005, a similar clip depicted a Sopranos-style hit on President Bush. That’s the Radio Equalizer, today. If there was any bigger indication of how much the left feared a Romney Presidency, I’d like to see it. Clearly, they consider a McCain Presidency freidnlier to their leftist causes. I’ll be kind and assume the 17 “bloody mary” binge doesn’t have anything to do with this excess. Addendum: (David L) Meanwhile in the leftosphere, no comment from Media Matters for America.  Evidently, Miedia Matters does not think Rhodes matters, I ...

The Amazing Randi
2008-02-08 10:57:00 Something dreadful happened to Air America hostess Randi Rhodes when she "fell walking her dog" last October and was off the air for days. Apparently she told her lawyer she couldn't remember what happened. Scenario #1: Miz Randi was abducted by space aliens spiriting her human form to home planet Zwyk where she was prodded and probed in an experiment to find the source of American political liberalism to concoct an antidote. The aliens' efforts to isolate the radical gene failed and Miz Randi was returned to Earth intact with no memory of the abduction. Something went awry during the experiments. Randi's brain spun into paranoiac overdrive with bizarre visions of crazed Mitt Romney robots vowing mass killings if John McCain is the Repub nominee. Radio Equalizer has the transcript and audio. (Miz Rhodes's "parody" ad aired before Super Tuesday.) #2 (most likely scenario): Miz Randi swooped up by the Mothership and called on the carpet by an angry intergalactic council ticked tha...

Glenn Beck bumps Randi Rhodes @ 3WT
2008-01-02 19:36:00 Right-wing radio talk show host Glenn Beck will dislodge left-wing Randi Rhodes this afternoon from the top two of Talk Radio 3WT's three signals. Metamedia site DCRTV reports that Beck will take both main WWWT 1500 AM and 107.7 FM signals while Rhodes will be left only with the obscure WWWB 820 out of Frederick. The downgrading of Randi Rhodes' program now leaves both Rhodes and the often preempted Stephanie Miller with effectively lower penetration on 3WT than either one of them ever had at their former Clear Channel-owned WWRC/1260 D.C. outlet.Is the downgrading of progressive radio what radio station owner Bonneville meant by "left, right and whatever we want" on 3WT? It seems more that the "left" is getting stuffed by Bonneville into hidden corners while the "right" is getting the prominent slots on the prominent frequencies. 3WT is now "left, right and whatever we want" only in the same mythical sense that Fox News Channel is "fair and balanced."Relevant link: DCRTV

Where's the story about Randi Rhodes in the Daily Kos?
2007-10-18 00:30:00 I checked the Daily Kos and Huffington Post and I was shocked that these two venerable leftist web logs, the same two who love to comment-and lies at that- on Rush Limbaugh and Michael Medved and Ann Coulter have nothing to say about outright untruths perpetrated by Randi Rhodes. So, a conservative says the truth like Medved and he's attacked. They lie to attack Limbaugh. But when a liberal talk show host lies in the most appalling way, like Randi Rhodes, nothing. Nothing! Hypocritical position #4345 from the left. Oh, and #4346 will be when Hillary says anything about war. Do you think they'll call her a "Chicken Hawk."

Randi Rhodes Strolling While Liberal
2007-10-17 08:07:00 An obvious victim of SWL, the completely unincisive Randi Rhodes (yes, I've listened [the Republicans and...huh... just so gross]) was beaten down by neocons or maybe some paleocons (Nobody can tell because there wasn't a police report). Whatever happened it must have been a conservative because every conservative knows and cares who Randi Rhodes is and is just waiting to clobber her. Frankly, I feared as much; it was just a matter of time before roving gangs of Limbaugh listeners began terrorizing New York. It's not like they're smart enough to hold a job. Ms. Rhodes is lucky it wasn't worse; if conservatives had any teeth, they'd probably have bitten her. Rhodes assuming that a certain group did something based on no evidence isn't prejudice, however, because...well...I don't know. It just isn't. There's no such thing as profiling conservatives- they're that evil.

Driving Cross Country, Katie Couric, Randi Rhodes and Family
2006-09-07 01:54:02 For the past eight days, I have been doing a mini-cross country drive, visiting friends and, as I noted previously celebrating the PatriotFatherWest’s birthday. It has been a great trip and I’ve not had as much access to the Internet as I would have liked — and that is not necessarily a bad thing. Today, I woke up at my cousin’s house in Denver, then spent the day with the most wonderful PatriotAuntWest (that cousin’s mother) in Colorado Springs. When I left here, I headed south, beginning the return journey to Los Angeles. A bit sad to be leaving the family behind and regretting that I cannot travel further and explore much of this great country. Here I sit at a hotel with wireless in New Mexico and instead of getting sleep so I can get an early start tomorrow, I’ve been checking my e-mail and the web. An idea came to me while reading about the Mexican elections and soon I found myself tapping out a post, then I read an e-mail from my friend ...
