2. I think she's annoying

But I'm glad for you.

[annabanana]

3. I wish it wasn't satellite radio... She needs to be "caught" by accident

by wingnuts twirling the dial and getting their attention...

[Liberal In Texas]

7. But it's not ONLY on satellite radio, is it?

Besides, she's going to be on XM channel 165, which is 90% wingnut and 10% Coast to Coast paranormal stuff. I think they're be a lot of wingnut attention.

[cali]

4. I think she's ill informed and all about Randi

can't stand her.

[spiritual_gunfighter]

18. agreed

6. I didn't like all the negative things she kept implying about Keith Olbermann

but would not say. I.e., "I think he's wonderful on TV, but I would never want to meet him because he is NOT A NICE PERSON."

My opinion is, if you want to badmouth someone, out with it--don't be cryptic--tell me what the person did, or does, that you don't like. She never would; she'd just say "Keith Olbermann is NOT A NICE PERSON" and then not specify why. She'd imply that she knew this because she knew people on the staff of Countdown (she even shouted them out by name one day), but that was as specific as she'd get. The implication was that they all hated to work with him, but she never said why.

I could not fathom why she would say these things but not get specific. Either be specific on air about what you don't like about the guy, and face the consequences if there are any, or just keep your piehole shut about him. Don't tell us you think he is an absolutely horrible human being, and then go all coy and cryptic when asked why.

11. She also claimed he stole from her

:eyes: And all around the time that MSNBC was looking for a new host & hired Rachel. (wonder why? Hmmm, hire the radio personality that comes on your shows & makes nice contributions or hire the one who claims you steal from her? wow, tough call) Frankly, I got tired of the drama. I was upset when AAR canned her, & was happy when she signed on to NovaM. Then came the inauguration & the Sunday radio show that Bill Press put together AND promoted on his show (I saw it on CSPAN). She got a nice segment all to herself & wtf did she talk about? Her boyfriend. Give me a break. After 8 years of W & a new Democratic president, all she talks about is her damn boyfriend? Then she goes on the air on her show, blasts everyone who participated & stabs Press in the back. :wtf: Soon after, something happened at NovaM, she's off the air, with even more drama. And now she's back. Not sure if I'm hanging around this time to see what happens.

19. I can believe

that Keith Olbermann can be a jerk he has a giant ego but who cares, like Randi Rhodes doesnt? I never liked her in the first place and what she said about Hillary was pretty horrible, and I didn't even support Hillary. That was over the line and I really don't care if she is coming back, she is a major hack.

[snowdays]

25. All in all, I do not believe she should be

a voice of the Democrats. Not at all.

[stlsaxman]

8. where can we get a list of markets she'll be in?

I want her here on KMOX after The Vulgar Pigboy!

[WeDidIt]

9. Please let me know where she will be streaming

so I can avoid it like the plague.

[a kennedy]

10. don't care, won't listen.

[realitythink]

12. Who cares

I stopped listening to her a long time ago. She is nasty to her listeners, constantly drones on about herself and all her celebrity friends and thinks she is so important. I think she is the one who brought down Nova M radio too. Malloy never talks about her, at all, and there is a reason for that. She'll sick her lawyers on them. She is a nasty bitchy woman.

[POAS]

33. I'm with you, I wanted political talk not ego talk...n/t

[bdamomma]

13. Randi has alot of baggage, but I'm willing to listen to her again

but when she gets obnoxious I'll stop.

[Duckhunter935]

14. Will not listen, she had her chances

[Democrat 4 Ever]

17. Randi is soooo last year. She was nasty, hateful and narcissistic

on her show. All about her and she wanted to be a Howard Stern lite wannabe. Calling a Democratic senator, a presidential candidate a whore? Enough. If you don't agree with her she just yells over you and half the time she doesn't even hear the other person AGREES with her because she doesn't hear anything but the voices in her own head. It was very frustrating trying to listen to her guests because she was convinced what SHE had to say was so much more important than the person she had INVITED to come on the show.

I don't know the circumstances that occurred for her to be kicked off her show a few months back but I'm willing to bet she brought about her own demise. And it won't be long till she does it again. She thinks she is cutting edge and I see her more like a rusty butter knife - ineffective and useless - to the Democratic cause.

Rachel has risen the bar so high I don't think Randi can even see it from where she is standing. Good luck to Randi but this is another person who won't listen.

[SidDithers]

15. No thanks...nts

16. I'd marry her and have her child if...

I wasn't chubby, crazy, old and already married!

[KittyWampus]

20. Gave up on her long ago. However, in her defense, she called Hillary a corporate whore

not just "whore".

There was a context where it was actually pretty damned appropriate.

I call people Mediawhores etc.

The term fits.

[byronius]

21. "Well-behaved women rarely make history."

I'm just in it for the hard news. Personality judgements aside, Randi is Hard News. Period.

PS: Geraldine Ferrarro had just publicly stated that Barack was only a viable candidate because he was black. Hillary seconded that several days later. That's what Randi was reacting to.

I reacted badly too. I had always loved Hillary, until that moment.

Now, I love her again.

Primaries.

[Johonny]

22. She's a good at ranting

horrible at interviews. The worse point of her show is when a caller agrees with her but she doesn't get their point and then shouts them down. I don't seek her show out but it's better than the replacement show they've been playing in her old time slot.

[timtom]

26. I know. Isn't that amazing?

Other hosts would listen politely to people with opposing (and often stupid) viewpoint, and then, try to educate them.

But, when she was on a tear, she was profound.

[leftynyc]

23. Haven't missed her

and will not be looking for her.

[orleans]

24. her website has the announcement

says she will air weekdays 3-6 eastern time



and it says she will be broadcasting live from washington d.c.

"Pain" by stereomud

"With every form you come
you surprise me
hypnotize me
with every breath i take
you're depriving
suffocating...choking

Now the time has come
when i tell myself
there's nothing more i can take
then you show me

willi t matter right now?
if i'm already numb
that's what you do to control me...
to control me

so much sadness from me
that's the way i feel
all the madness from me
that's what makes you real
i don't want your
pain pain pain pain

with every cut you make
you expose me
cause you know me
with every bottle drank
you can drown me
cause you found me...out

now the time has come
when i tell myself
there's nothing more i can take
then you show me...

will it matter right now?
if i'm already numb
that's what you do to control me...
to control me

so much sadness from me
that's the way i feel
all the madness from me
that's what makes you real
i don't want your

pain pain pain

with every form you take
with every cut you make

so much

pain pain pain pain

so much sadness from me
thats the way i feel
all the madness from me
thats what makes you real
i dont want your

pain pain pain

so much sadness"

[AtomicKitten]

30. Thanks for the heads-up. n/t

[liberalla]

31. Me too!

I'm really looking forward to hearing her again. She's had her ups and downs (as we all have), but I'm expecting her to be on a big 'up'! :bounce:


New show, new city, new love... I expect her to be energized and tearing it up. :thumbsup:
