I hope they don’t put her on Clear Channel’s flagship station WOAI. I’d hate to remove that one from my presets.

She has moved from New York City to West Palm Beach, FL…

…where she will join 95,000 other people from New York to complain about how much Florida is not New York.

Rhodes on Clear Channel? Is that enemy territory? Something about Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital trying to control the airwaves. All these Lefty conspiracy theories get all jumbled together in my head.

Randi Rhodes to reportedly move to Clear Channel….

Think Progress

After a recent disagreement over her comments about Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), host Randi Rhodes resigned from Air America. According to an e-mail received by Hot Air, Rhodes is about to sign a deal to broadcast on Clear Channel:

She is really disgusting and unlistenable. I do not always agree with Sean, or Savage but they are entertaining and they have great shows which make my ride home a bit easy.

As awfull as Randi Rhodes is and as much as she makes me want to puke, I do not think people should be fired or lose their radio gigs for what they say. This is a very dangerous slippery slope that even Sean Hannity knows. And one reason I really respect Sean is that as disgusting as Randi Rhodes is, he knows where all of this censorship and being afraid to say things will lead.

What I would like to know is what did Randi say about Imus? Did she agree with the firing? Also, why did Air America never have a problem with all this horrific speech when it was directed towards the President and conservatives. It was only when she said stuff about her own that Air America did anything.

Bottom Line: we should not censor radio and radio does not have to be nice. But also it is great to watch the far left eat their own.

I, for one, am glad she is landing on her feet this time. If she’d landed on her face again, the left would have just blamed us…

I think Clear Channel is confusing her for Randy Rhoads. One is dead, one’s career is dead.

I wonder if her 5 listeners will follow her over?

How do I get a job like hers?? Piss off the boss, get an offer elsewhere to come do the exact same thing. The Media is the epitome of burning money just for fun.

Isn’t Rhodes persona non grata now among progressives, thanks to her Hillary/whore comment?

A lot of people hate Hillary. I went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans for the first time this year and hung out with some friends who live there. During the last day's parade of costumes two people were dressed up like the Clintons and both had fake "members" hanging out. Those two costumes were just as popular as the man dressed up as Uncle Sam asking people to vote Republican to help the rich.

There will be a torrent of self-righteous indignation about this on lgf, no doubt.

What’s that, IOUs?

I had never heard of her until she was mentioned on this blog. With luck and determination I can forget about her.

Landing on her feet? I guess this time she's accusing a conservative of kicking her in the air while she was out walking her dog, right? Another report says she's going back to Green960 in San Fran.

Rhodes getting shunned by her own folks is eerily similar to Ann Coulter being banned from CPAC.

What is this “Air America” of which you speak?

That CIA airline from about 35 years ago, I think.

“Clear Channel stock just took a nose dive, kinda like Randi on the sidewalk.”

On the bright side, Ketel stock is soaring.
