Air America/DLC most likely will try to take legal action to silence Rhodes

[itsrobert]

You can bet on it. Randi most likely quit and I bet AAR lawyers are going over her contract looking for non-compete clauses.

[proud2BlibKansan]

1. Fuck AAR and the horse they rode in on

Fuck Larry Johnson too.

[tridim]

2. Randi has claimed AAR is in breach of her contract

She might be taking legal action against AAR!

[Zodiak]

3. AAR can kiss off!

I knew they were bad news when the Malloy firing went ahead.

They have lost their talent and their credibility with the progressive audience they have built over the years. The DLC has no grassroots constituency, so their listener base isn't really there any more.

[housewolf]

4. AAR's website still has Randi pictured in their line-up

There will be an interesting story behind all this.

[bluestateguy]

5. She disgraced herself

AAR sucks, but for other reasons.

[TriggerGal]

11. For what?

For calling politicians WHORES?

PLEASE!!!

Politicians who aren't - are scarce these days (unfortunately).

[Mezzo]

13. yes, exactly for that...and it was 'fucking whore'..is it ok to call Michelle Obama a whore now?

honestly.

[TriggerGal]

14. Mrs. Obama isn't a politician

is she?

[proud2BlibKansan]

15. If she was a politician who pandered to corporations

yes it would be okay to call her a whore. But she isn't, so it's not.

[otohara]

17. Oh So She Called Hillary A Big Fucking Corporate Whore

I missed the corporate part when I watched the YouTube - could have sworn the word "corporate" was no where in her silly foul mouthed rant.

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. Like 'corporate' needs to be included?

Those of us who pay attention with our eyes open knew EXACTLY what she meant.

And yes, Hillary is indeed a f'ing whore.

[otohara]

23. So Now That We Know Hillary Is A Corporate

whore and Randi has moved on to a new gig, what has all of this really accomplished?

[timtom]

27. It speaks volumes to many of us who trusted Hillary and AAR

I'm perceiving a pattern emerging in all of this.

But, you're free to draw your own conclusions.

[otohara]

28. AAR Is A Business

and for the record they did not fire Ms Rhodes. AAR would have most likely have lost listeners aka ratings had she returned, which equates into ad dollars. Did you really need Randi Rhodes to tell you that The Clinton's were "corporate all the way" - There isn't a trade deal Bill Clinton didn't support, including Columbia.

It's amazing to me that somehow Randi Rhodes is completely blameless in this mess. She's the one who violated her contract, and while many here think she's "courageous" - truth is she got caught on someone's cell-phone video. Getting posted on the YouTube as Randi would say, was probably not part of the plan.

[timtom]

32. I appreciate your intelligent and even response.

You have indeed given me something more to think about.

Thanks and Cheers!

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. It has exposed Larry Johnson and his agenda

which is a good thing.

Plus I canceled my XM radio. I guess you could call that an accomplishment. I am a few dollars wealthier every month.

[SalviaBlue]

20. She wasn't referring to her sex life. nt

[Prefer]

6. DIVIDE AND CONQUOR

They are saying "OUR PLAN TO BUY OUR WAY INTO THE LIBERALS TALK AND USE IT TO DIVIDE THEM IS WORKING.
DIVIDED THEY WILL FALL!"

[Eric J in MN]

7. Let's get mad at AAR for what they've done instead of for what they theoretically...

...might do.

Note that Don Imus went from CBS to ABC.

[libnnc]

8. I doubt she's worried.

She's going to be fine. She's not going away.

[peacetalksforall]

9. I haven't been able to follow this - can someone point me to a thread

that tells it succinctly including why people are swearing at Johnson.

[TriggerGal]

10. GREEN 960 Video

may put a cabosh on that!!

12. just my 2 cents--Randi got herself fired accidentally on purpose

Randi was being a good even handed Dem soldier pretty much, but the Tuzla incident was way over the line. After that, it just stuck in her craw to --in essence--work for Hillary supporters. (I'm filling in the blanks here) She started really dissing Hillary at every opportunity on the air, not unfairly, but let's face it, it comes up frequently enough (don't hurt me) to start being noticeable.

When she did it in the stand up bit in front of the bosses and sponsors that was a straight out "fire me" bid, IMO. I mean, what else could she possibly be thinking? She's the one who's always bragging about how brilliant and crafty she is. She obviously did it on purpose so she could get the f out of that nest of Hillary vipers, right?

[otohara]

16. Paranoid Much

Hillary Clinton has bigger fish to fry vs going after a radio host who has a tendency to go off the deep end every so often.

Rumor has it, Randi has some clause in her contract that would have allowed her to go back to Florida. Which is exactly what she is doing.

How many more threads will you start on this non issue? She's gone from AAR, she done herself in. Let it go!

:thumbsup:

[itsrobert]

22. Just put me on ignore

If it's such a non-issue to you, don't bother responding.

[otohara]

24. No, No, No....I'm Not Running Away

like a certain spoiled overpaid radio hostess!

She's got a job, what's your problem?

Randi Lives!

[bullwinkle428]

30. Any regular listener of hers knew how homesick she was,

and how much she hated living and working in NYC, even though it was technically her "hometown"! I'm guessing she was begging AAR to allow her to return to Florida, and they probably kept saying no.

[otohara]

31. They Didn't Say No This Time

so Randi lives and the planet is saved. AAR will find another talented host or hostess to replace her and life will go on. I bet she won't be calling any more elected officials big fucking whores again either.

[DainBramaged]

21. She is going to GREEN 960 Monday

We have been very frustrated the past few days in our efforts to rectify the Randi Rhodes Situation (her suspension by her network, Air America Radio). It is our understanding that today (April 9th) she is no longer an employee of Air America. So we are bringing her back."

Monday, April 14th at 4pm... it will be our pleasure to announce the return of Randi Rhodes to the Green 960 family.

[Liberal In Texas]

25. No they won't. There would be very little to gain by doing that.

Even if there were a non-compete clause, I'm sure both sides have agreed to void the contract which will get AAR off the hook in paying her for the balance of it.

34. Suspending Randi cost AAR my ear, so I hope Randi makes their lives suck.

Fuck AAR and the Hillary it rode in on.
