She explained why she was leaving.

I really had mixed feelings about what she said. I love the fact that she is prioritizing her family, (probably spending more time in Costa Rica and just tired of the long media slog in general.

OTOH I really was turned off by her not so subtle digs at Rachel Maddow and Sen. Franken. She mentioned several times "People that used AA for their own advancement" etc. etc. And by doing so helped bring about it's demise. It came across as bitter (to me).

Franken is a well loved Senator from Minnesota and Maddow has gone on to considerable success. I can't imagine that taking part in AA was some shadowy plan by those two.

I will miss Randi, her humor and her impeccably researched show immensely.

I won't miss the animosity that she seems to harbor towards many that have been successful in the biz.
