Randi Rhodes exits Air America
From the Associated Press
Randi Rhodes has quit the Air America radio network, a week after it suspended her for using a derogatory word for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton during an event in San Francisco.
Air America Media released a statement Thursday saying the talk show host informed the company Wednesday night that she was severing ties with the liberal network.
The network suspended Rhodes indefinitely for what it said was “abusive, obscene language” during an off-air event sponsored by affiliate KKGN-AM in San Francisco on March 22.
Her show, heard locally weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. on KTLK-AM (1150), will feature celebrity guest hosts for at least the next month, Air America said, starting next week with comedian and actor Richard Belzer.
